Help please; late ovulation

[Ashleigh9917]

Hi All :)

AF normally arrives on the 5th/6th/7th of the month and lasts 6 or 7 days. Last month it was normal, coming on the 6th.

I normally ovulate 19th/20th of the month, but last month I didn't. I was quite ill so I put it down to that. I thought I was just going to skip a month but I got stretchy fertile quality CM on the 29th. Had a couple of tacky days and then been watery and abundant since. Checked around this morning and its very stretchy and my cervix feels more pointy and hard, and is low. I've had a bit of a pain where my left ovary should be for a few days now, but its gone today.

(Bit of background - I had an implant in for 7yrs - with no periods, and had it removed in February last year. AF arrived in May, skipped june, arrived on time in july, came late on 22nd in Aug then been pretty regular since).

Anyway, what I'd like to know is if I ovulated late, should I expect AF at the normal time or will my period come with the normal amount of days between ovulation & AF, so it will just be later?

What do I do about testing? A hpt needs to wait 2 weeks to show, its been 8 days since I ovulated but they say to test once AF is late. Is my AF late? Nothing will show as its only just about implantation time. Basically I'm confused

If anyone can shed any light, give any insight or share your experiences like this, please do, I'd be very grateful.

Thank you

I'm just off the pill.

I had a positive ovulation test 5 days ago... my withdrawal bleed ended on 26th December so I was about 18 days into a unknown cycle.

Do you think AF will show this Friday? (calculated from old cycle length) or in about 9 days? (from 14 days after comments)

We have been trying for 13 months now. I came off the pill and had a real issue with periods getting back to normal. They have only just started to start regularly again, but this late ovulation has totally thrown me 😕! How about you?

I had my implant out in Feb last year but AF didn't come in until May, been pretty regular so far, August was 2 weeks late, and now this last month has been odd.

I don't know, you can never tell really, just have to wait & see what will happen.

thanks

19dpo and still BFN this morning.

Still getting symptoms - lots of CM, sore boobs, slight nausea, dizziness, metallic taste, lack of appetite, cramps - all being worse in the evening.

Other half said to book a Dr's app but I might wait until AF is 7 days late then give them a ring, so that will be in two days - Thursday.

Might just stop testing now and just do one once a week, on Monday mornings until AF comes back. I don't think i'm PG now but then i read a load of stuff last night about people who didn't get BFP until 3 weeks after AF was late etc so I really don't know what to think.

The cousin is 6 weeks along and they have been trying for about a year as well, they had started to think it would never happen for them either and that they would have to go down the IVF route so there is hope. I'm over my resentment/jealousy that I had the other day and am really pleased for them now I've come to my senses.

Very, very frustrating.

20 dpo today. BFN this morning (internet cheapy).

Yesterday I didn't have many symptoms during the day: bleeding gums in the morning, a bit of dizziness and slight nausea once or twice and the odd metallic taste, I was a little bit more hungry though, whereas I've had decreased appetite since last week, sore boobs - but once evening came around it all ramped up quite a bit - dizziness, a couple of episodes of nausea, metallic taste more often. Boobs were a lot more painful. Was really tired and went to bed at about 10. Had 'twinges'? in uterus, not really cramps, not quite a pinching feeling but I could definitely feel it. I don't normally get cramps before AF and once it comes its not normally bad, just a bit of an ache. What it felt like was like when you suck your stomach muscles in, but I wasn't. CM was very abundant and watery in the morning like it has been but dried up throughout the day and is now wet externally and pasty and white on my finger. Cervix is still high and soft.

I'm going to go to the Dr's on my way home tonight I think and see what they say about a blood test. I want to know before Saturday night really as its our anniversary on Monday and we're going out & I want to know if I can have a couple of drinks.

Does anyone know what happens/how long results take if you have a blood test? I assume I go to the Dr's and get a form to take to the hospital and they'll do it and then I have to wait for the results to go back to the Dr's? I won't know by Saturday will I?

8dpo ... BFN for me. I think bloods take 2-3 days?

Have you got any symptoms?

I'dd drop in on the way home and see.

*I'll

Yesterday's symptoms tapered off as the day went on, bleeding gums when I brushed, metallic taste, cramps, nausea, sore boobs. CM was wet but not a lot like it has been.

Today 21dpo & BFN - all I've got is sore boobs really. Although I had a fair bit of blood when I brushed my teeth this morning again. CM is the same as yesterday.

I think I'm out, I think something has gone on & messed up and I'll just get AF when expected next month - either 5/6/7th Feb.

We can see the Dr from next month to start to look into whats going anyway as it will have been a year so I suppose we've got all that to go through now. I was really hoping this was it and we wouldn't need to have loads of tests etc.

I'd like to but I won't get an answer from the Dr before Saturday now so no drinks for me when we go out despite me thinking I'm out, just because you never know.

How are you getting on?

AF arrived on Saturday, 23 dpo.

I think i might be the same. No sign of AF yet. Currently 14 dpo ... 😠

ooh so you're in with a chance, fingers crossed for you!

Unfortunately im getting BFNs though 😟
