Hi, im wondering if you can help me, hopefully this will make sense. I came off bcp at begining of the year (just because it made me crazy) and have since been using natural forms of contraception, pull out method and avoidance of dtd prior to or on fertile days etc. I dont track ovulation as such but do (or did) have regular 28-29 day cycles and keep a look out for cm, have not had issues conceiving etc before so thought this is ok.
Af arrived 28/02 cd 28 so all ok so far.
Had unprotected sex cd 17-21 without using withdrawel method (prior to that we used withdrawel). Was expecting af 28/03 as per normal cycle but nothing. I dont really get a lot of signs just heavy boobs a few days before, cant stop crying the day before and a few niggly pains day before and first day of af then thats it, af usually lasts 3-6 days (last day is more of a discharge sorry if tmi)
So far no af, i had the heavy boobs, i had the crying, i had the pain but its still not here.
I did a hpt yesterday (cd32 but got a bfhn) i didnt use fmu.
The thing is af i did have some creamy coloured discharge around cd23-27 but thats it, nothing. Af symptoms have stopped apart from cramps but they are most of the day which is unuaual, But i feel like poo. I cant stand my tummy being touched, it feels so bloated, tender and 'stretched' if that makes sense.Im emotional, my nipples are killing me and i keep feeling a bit shitty from lunchtime onwards im exhausted. Im obviously not not pregnant (the bfn) but could it be that i havent ovulated at all, or how normal is it to ovulate late, in which case am i right in thinking af isnt actually late yet. Im trying not to stress. Im 38 but no other signs of menapause.
