Can anyone help? Confused about ovulation in relation to period starting

[KimRobs87]

As it says above really ladies. So, I have been tracking for 3 months but this is only month 2 of ttc. Just trying to figure out if my period will be due earlier this month as my cycles and ovulation dates have changed a bit. So;

Feb-/Mar
32 day cycle
Got peak on cd22

Mar/April
30 day cycle
Got peak on cd22 20

April / may (this cycle)
Got peak on cd16

I'm currently approx 7dpo and my app thinks my period will be due 31/05 however, that's 32 days?

I'm assuming testing is around how many days post ov you are but when do we think af might (hopefully not!) be due?

Thanks xxx

(Mar /April should say cd20) x

The length of time between ovulation and period tends not to change more than a day or so month to month. It's only the first part of your cycle, from period to ovulation, that can vary a lot, depending.

Once you've ovulated, your period will show up in roughly 14 days (or whatever your personal luteal phase is).

From those dates, it looks like you have a 10-day luteal phase, which is on the lower side but not abnormally so. Therefore you can expect your period roughly 10 days after you ovulate.

@Celebelly - thanks. So in theory if I'm (roughly) 7 dpo I should expect af in another 3 days or so? X

Yes I'd say so. Sometimes if you've come off birth control it can be iffy, but if you have definitely ovulated then I'd expect your period in around 3/4 days, judging by your previous cycles.

Great thanks. Xx
