Is it my period ?

Question

First thing: I am not pregnant. I don’t need to take a pregnancy test, thank you. 
I had bleeding when I woke up yesterday and really bad cramps. I called my dr to tell her I got my period but then as the day went by to change my tampon there wasn’t much there. This morning there was no blood at all. I did a home progesterone and it looks negative.  My temps didn’t drop last night .
I’m supposed to take my day three test tomorrow but now I don’t know if I should call and cancel ?

That's a tough one. What is your typical luteal phase length?
If you pretty much always have a 14 day luteal phase and the spotting there on 13DPO is what you are talking about I would be hesitant to call that a period.
I just got done playing this shitty game of "period or luteal phase spotting?" At least in my case the stakes were lower since I didn't need to go do CD3 labs and this isn't a medicated cycle where I need to start meds or anything. But I started spotting (I guess) on 14DPO. I was like "okay so I have a shorter luteal phase than normal this month but only by one day so whatever." But then by the end of the say I never had enough bleeding to make it to the pad I put in. It never made it into the toilet. It was only there (and lots of it somehow) when I wiped. The next morning when my period would normally start on 15DPO I started having a heavier bleed that was more normal for me with cramps and all. So I went back and changed CD1 from 14PO to 15DPO and marked 14DPO as heavy spotting. 
If I had to do CD3 labs I would call the office and explain the situation and ask what they think I should do. It's kinda a gamble either way. You could cancel and then realize that was your period and that would suck. Or you could go and then realize it was spotting and that would suck also. Hopefully your office can give you some advice on which is the better gamble.
I hope it all works out!
