Too early to POAS? (long, sorry)

[gentlyfalling]

Brief background - DH and I have been TTC for about 18 months; I had abdominal surgery last year which the Dr said would have had a negative effect.

Anyway, we weren't very 'active' this month, so I wasn't holding out much hope, but I was due on on Wednesday just gone and no sign. The thing is a very close relative passed away suddenly and unexpectedly last weekend so I don't know if it's more likely to be the shock? I don't know my ovulation date, but I normally have a 27/28 day cycle; I'm now on day 31 and haven't gone this long since last April.

I don't know whether to test tomorrow morning, or whether it's not worth it yet? Sorry if I sound dense but I've not got any DC's, nor do my close friends and my family are all so traumatised at the moment I don't want to ask them.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

When you are under stress around the time you are due to ovulate, your body can delay it and then try again when things are less stressful. So it may well be that although you normally have a 28 day cycle, this month you ovulated a few days, or much later so your cycle will be longer this month.

Thanks. I guess I'll just wait and see then. Maybe test next weekend if nothing comes.
