Can stress delay ovulation?

I know stress can delay periods but can it delay ovulation as well?
I usually ovulate around cd 14-16 but currently cd 15 and no sign of usual ovulation symptoms and not even getting close on OPKs yet. I have been quite stressed at work recently so could it be due to this?
Also OH has a bad cold which I think my body is trying to fight off at the moment so could this be a factor as well?
I’m probably making it worse by stressing that I haven’t ovulated yet anyway but my body is confusing me!

Yes it can, the reason your period is late when you’re stressed is actually because ovulation is late I believe.

Ahh I see! Thank you! That makes sense. We’re only holiday next week so if ovulation is delayed until then then we’ll have lots of time for DTD. Maybe my body is just waiting for that anyway haha!
