what is classed as late?

[kezaroo]

So. I think I ovulated 13/09 on my first cycle since coming off the pill.

From what I have read i should have come on this week (10-16 days from ovulation I believe). So I still have until tomorrow for af to arrive.

When would you class Me as being late? Would you take it as late from the 10th day after ovulation or the 16th?

Been annoyed with myself all week because I haven't come on, had a bfn (using first response).

Hi kez. It will depend on your luteal phase. Most (whatever that means!) women have 14 day LP so I'd go for 14 days. My LP is 16 days so it's not uncommon to be longer or shorter. A first response can give to a positive at 10 dpo but you'll also get lots of false negatives at 10dpo too. If you can wait, give it to 14dpo (I could never wait!!!). Good luck

Thank you. Already passed 14dpo (it is 16 tomorrow).

That's the problem with being in the first month -i don't know when my lp is...

Damn hormones!

Going on holiday to Crete on 11th October so would hope I find out either way by then!

And the waiting continues :(

Keza what makes you think you ovulated on that date?

often after contraceptives most women will have a few cycles of weird lengths and symptoms until their body settles down.

Symptoms - (tmi) cm, mega sore boobs and mega horny!

Not felt like that (haha!) Like ever - not to that extent (i mean all of it, not just the last bit).

The only way to definitely know you ovulated is either temping or blood tests.

But it might be worth trying opks (ovulation sticks) first.

However coming off contraceptives can make your body go a little mad often giving you symptoms but not always meaning anything.

I get positive opks cramps EWCM etc etc at the time of ovulation but the doctors tell me im not ovulating.
