TTC, AF Late, BFN tests, So Much Stress!

Hello!
OH and I have been TTC recently. AF is currently 11 days late, I've been feeling a bit nauseous the past few days and had light cramping. Normally I'm pretty regular and my cramps are absolutely horrible, so this is a bit of a deviation! Earlier in the week I had thick white discharge too, but haven't noticed any for two or so days.

The first test I did was on the day of missed period. Came back negative, so I assumed that AF was just being tardy. Nine days later and still no bleeding, so tried to get some girly support and went to a 'friend's' house. Took two tests there, one I'm like 80% certain was positive but she thought was inconclusive. I didn't get to see the second test - she proclaimed it was also inconclusive but never showed me it. Came home and took one yesterday - BFN. Took one this morning with FMU and the testing strip stayed completely blank - faulty test.

I'm new to my area and there's a 6 week wait at the doctors for registration according to the lady at the desk, so I can't even book an appointment yet.

Due to some technical issues OH and I haven't been super active in the bedroom for a while, and AF has been late in the past when I've gone trough a lull and then had sex.
Don't suppose anybody has had a similar situation and can offer guidance?

Late ovulation. You've been stressed. It's annoying, but normal. Several threads a day on the same thing lead me to believe that.

Hugs. Hopefully she turns up soon.

This is why lots of women track ovulation - the amount of time between ovulating and you period starting is generally always the same. It's ovulation that can happen at any cycle day.

I do track it - I'm 25 days since last ovulation, usually I'm 14 days like clockwork.

Do you track with bbt? Sometimes our bodies gear up to ov and then don't, so if only using opks, you can't guarantee you did actually ovulate... with so much stress going on for you.... frustrating, I'm sure.

Normally I do, this is the first month in about a year and a half that I didn't - we decided to stop actively going for it until I get back from my trip abroad. Typical timing haha
