@mamatoabeautifulgirl ah I see, yeah you just want to know what’s going on if it’s late but no positive tests! I’ve had so many symptoms, cramps, headache, dizziness, nausea, sore boobs/nipples, fatigue, backache, and my cm has changed past couple days but don’t know what it means 😕 did your doctor say anything else? x

@mamatoabeautifulgirl I tested yesterday and today, think I'm going to try and wait till Thursday/Friday (if I have the patience) to test again. If still negative and no AF by then I'm also going to call my doctors. It's exactly that as well, not knowing what is going! x

@mamatoabeautifulgirl In that case your app may be completely wrong (and probably is wrong). My app reckoned I would ovulate CD14-16 this cycle but it was CD21 (confirmed with various symptoms and OPKs). I'm not TTC at the moment so that would've been a very nerve racking 5 days where I thought I was late if I didn't know otherwise!

A person's luteal phase (time between ovulation and period) is normally reasonably static. On average it's 12-14 days so your period is only late if you know when you ovulated and are passed your normal luteal phase length.

Fingers crossed for you, you're not out until your period arrives and like I said, your period may not actually be late yet 🙂

@Nam095 aww girl it's hard ain't it the not knowing when you going to test ? Am just wanting to know what's going on if I have missed a peroid this month or if I'm going to get a bfp x

Hey ladies I’m in a similar situation, not as late (I’m around 3 days late) but I’m fairly sure that I’m 16 dpo as I had all 3 indicators that I was ovulating; peak opk, bbt rose and ewcm. I’ve only had bfn so far but I’ve read stories of other women getting bfn this late and then end up getting bfp days later. Fingers crossed for us all 🤞🏼

@Curiosity101 it's just estimated going by the Flo app I ovulated between the 18-28th so thag would mean I'm on day 40 of my cycle if that's correct x

Is your ovulation date estimated or confirmed?

More often than not when people get very late positives or have negatives but are several days late it normally means they ovulated much later than usual. If you did ovulate late then on theory you might not actually be 'late' yet.
