Do I see GP or just get on with it?

I'm now 10 days late after having a clockwork cycle for the past 8 months (last depo injection ran out 11.5 months ago). All tests (ICs, FRER, FR rapid and ASDA cheapo) are blazing negatives, I can't even convince myself that there's maybe even a hint of a line.
I've seen a few posts of people getting their bfp after 12. 17, 19 days. Is this really as common as it seems at the moment or just a fluke that I've seen so many posts about it?

Should I go to my gp and ask for a blood test/investigations or just accept that I possibly didn't ovulate this month and try again next? Surely 10 days is more than just possibly ovulated late this month isn't it?

Biology is a bitch at times!

Sorry you're going through that, it sounds so stressful!

Are you temping to confirm ovulation? It could be that you ovulated later than normal or are having an anovulatory cycle which might explain why everything is late this month.

You've probably just had an anovulatory cycle. Or you ovulated late, and may be pregnant or about to start your period. I wouldn't bother seeing your GP unless it doesn't start again by next month. In the nicest possible way, if everyone on this board went to see their GP every time their period was late, that's all the GPs would be dealing with.

Hopefully you will get an answer soon. Do you temp or use OPKs? That might give you an idea of what's going on?

I tried temping and was utterly rubbish at it. I wake up at really random times, my 9yr old doesn't sleep well so quite often I get up at 5 to deal with him and then temping at 6/6.30 is useless.

I have been using opks but I was getting so obsessive that I decided to give it a rest this month and just 'go with the flow' (pun fully intended) and now wish I hadn't done that!

I think I'll make a gp appointment anyway as I have a couple of other symptoms that might possibly indicate pcos. I'd assumed not as I was so regular but maybe it's worth mentioning anyway. I know I'll be told to lose weight which I'm really not looking forward to!
