Clearly I ovulated late - but could I really have conceived on CD21? Should I test?

namechanger (too wimpy to go public with this).

37, 2 DC. DC2 took more than 2 years to conceive. High FSH was one issue.

IDC2 almost 2, I often talk about a DC3 but have not been brave enough to take the plunge and try again and DH not so bought into the idea either.

Anyway I know a lot about my cycles having tracked religiously during time spent FTC DC2. I ovulate at a different time every month. Cycles pre DC2 could be between 24 and 30 days. I used to think I had an 11-12 day LP but can't be sure.
A few months back I had a 31 day cycle which threw me but more normal to be 25, 26 days etc
Anyway, we had unprotected sex on CD21, assumed this was a pretty safe bet, think I ov'd a few days before that but no real idea as wasn't paying much attention and find ov hard to pinpoint.
Its now CD 32 and no period.
Feel tired, crampy, ill etc and EXPECT it to arrive but its not here. I am tired anyway and know the drill re AF symptoms and early pregnancy "symptoms" being identical so know better than to symptom spot but it is odd! Surely its not possible to have ovulated so late that I could be pg from CD21 nookie... or is it? EVen if I am not pg its clear I did ovulate much later than I normally do and this combined with unprotected sex.. well 2 plus 2!! but I sort of assume low fertility after DC2 experience iykwim....

THis is the latest cycle ever. DOnt know whether I should buy a hpt tomorrow morning on way to work or whether that would be so far fetched to be idiotic.. DH slightly freaked I have allayed his concerns saying I am sure period will show but inside I am not so sure!!!

ANyway had to share hope you don't mind

To clarify I would not be upset to be pg, in fact a big part of me would be delighted if not slightly freaked out at same time at prospect of DC3 given my life right now (good life but a busy one)

I am sure AF will show in the night and I will be glad I didn't embarrass myself postiing this in my usual name!

Hi, it is totally possible to concieve on cd21, I did in my last pregnancy!! My cylcle can range from 28-35 days and I guess I was on a longer cycle that time!!
The only way you will know for sure is by poas (though I am sure you no that Wink) and I hope that you get the outcome that you hope for.

Period arrived today.

Am marginally disappointed (its that woman thing, isn't it) but mostly ok as it would have caused problems with DH and been a bit shocking.

It has caused DH and I to discuss number 3 much more openly. He talked about some of his concerns and I about my feelings. I think we will go ahead. I don't want him to feel I am coercing or tricking him.

Thanks
