Why is ovulation late?

Hi all.

Is there a reason ovulation would be late??

I'm a typical 28day cycle with ovulation on day 13 or 14. Today is day 16 and no ovulation flagged on clear blue yet.is there a reason for this? Should we continue to DTD?

@Fireplacedreamer I'm absolutely freaking out as I got a faint line this morning! Verrrrry cautious as I'm only 9-10dpo, going to do another cheapie tonight and a FRER in the morn.... I don't know how to feel at all this is a completely new experience to me! 🙈.

Fireplacedreamer · 01/03/2021 18:13

@glow92 eeeeeeeee!!! How exciting! Congratulations! I am so excited for you!
Just enjoy the moment of joy before sickness and aches kick in 😂😂🤭

@Fireplacedreamer it's just sooo early though!
Let's see what the next few days bring 🙂.
Hoping day 23 was the magic number and that your only a few days behind 💜.

Fireplacedreamer · 01/03/2021 19:26

@glow92 it is early but I'm sure it will be a sticky bean and hold on tight for you 💗

Haha I thought the exact same.. 23 is the magic number 🤞 I need to continue to copy your story lol

Just taken another cheapie and it was a total squinter.... but this mornings was FMU and I've had a lot of water through the day. We go again in the morn!

LunaL0veg00d · 02/03/2021 06:16

@Fireplacedreamer no AF yet! 14dpo today. I took a FRER yesterday and it was negative, but the same thing happened when I was pregnant with DD and I had a positive a week later. So for now, trying not to get disheartened, DH has hidden the tests and will give me another one to try in a week if AF hasn't come by then!
When are you testing?!

@glow92 how very exciting! Got everything crossed for you that those lines get stronger! 🤞🏼

glow92 · 02/03/2021 07:50

FRER this morn 💜.... think it's going to take a few days to hopefully get some decent line progression, 10 or 11dpo today.
I feel kind of bad though I've not told my partner yet, he's so reserved and chilled out I don't think he'd believe anything other than a bold line! At work 8-5 today so at least I can take my mind away for a while, even though I hate my job right now!

And I'd like to think of a fun way rather than just shove pee sticks in his face!

Fireplacedreamer · 02/03/2021 12:40

@LunaL0veg00d haha sounds like a good idea! I'm testing next week too so we can hopefully both get our BFP and join Glow!

@glow92 that is a very clear line! Exciting!look on pinterest for some fun ways to tell him. Oh no hope work isn't too bad, what is it you do?

I'm a surveyor (glorified admin/accountant) for a small civils contractor but things have changed a lot in the last year and I'm just not confident in what I'm doing anymore and I'm always on my own which is rubbish when my best friend used to work in the same room. But hopefully things can only get better now HOPEFULLY could be off come November 😂

I think I'm gonna tell him tomorrow... after another test to try and get a darker line, so excited but so anxious for the next few weeks!

What DPO do you plan on testing? @Fireplacedreamer @LunaL0veg00d

Fireplacedreamer · 02/03/2021 13:33

Sounds difficult. Try not to let the stress get to you though and hopefully it will only be until November 😊
I work in a school with children with severe behavioural needs.

@glow92 are doing so well to keep it to yourself! I wouldn't be able to contain myself 😂😂

I'm going to test on dpo12 which is Sunday as AF is due on Tuesday and take it from there 😊

glow92 · 02/03/2021 15:40

That sounds challenging, must be rewarding though. I just work with a load of grumpy men 😂.

I'm tempted to let slip tonight, might run in and do another test just to be sure!

Ahhhh countdown on for Sunday!

Fireplacedreamer · 02/03/2021 17:53

Ha! Its def more entertaining that grumpy men 😂😂

Ooh let us know how he reacts 😬 how exciting!

Sunday cannot come soon enough.. I'm so impatient and trying not to start getting the sticks out 😂🤦‍♀️

OP posts:
glow92 · 02/03/2021 18:58

I couldn't wait any longer and told him when I got home from work and showed him the tests so far... he was nervous but so happy 🥰. Just want to get these next few weeks out the way then hopefully relax a bit, will still test everyday to hopefully see lines get darker.

Fireplacedreamer · 03/03/2021 18:20

@glow92 hey! Hows things going? Wow great you told him, what was his reaction?

@LunaL0veg00d how are you getting on? Any sign of AF?

OP posts:
glow92 · 03/03/2021 19:37

He's very happy but a little rabbit-in-the-headlights! We both have a lot to learn! We knew it could happen at any point but after being on the pill for so many years I don't think he saw it coming after a few months.
Pic below for progression this morn 🙂.

LunaL0veg00d · 04/03/2021 09:33

@glow92 oh my goodness look at those strong lines!!! No denying those 😁

@Fireplacedreamer still no AF. 15dpo now and did a FRER but negative, not even a faint line so feeling like it's not my month, but now worrying why AF hasn't come!!

Fireplacedreamer · 04/03/2021 20:17

@glow92 amazing line progression. Haha I bet! It's all feels real once they see the sticks 😂

@LunaL0veg00d fingers crossed that it's a BFP when it gets to a week like last time. There is still hope!

9dpo for me today, not a single symptom. I can usually spot symptoms from ovulation haha but not a sore boob, queezy moment or anything yet 🤦‍♀️this is not good!

OP posts:
Fireplacedreamer · 07/03/2021 08:05

Morning @glow92 @LunaL0veg00d

Is this a line?? I'm 12dpo, possibly less as that's from my peak on CB OKP

omg omg omg yes!!!!! Especially if you could be less?! My first FRER was at 10 at looked like that 😄😄😄

Fireplacedreamer · 07/03/2021 08:30

@glow92 I wasn't going to test until Tuesday but I had a weird dream where I found out I was pregnant so had a huge urge to just do it.. I'm in shock!

OP posts:
glow92 · 07/03/2021 09:56

I'm so happy for you! 🎉
Who knew the late ovulation club was the place to be! Does your partner/husband know?

I think I am done testing now 😂

Fireplacedreamer · 07/03/2021 10:08

Haha indeed! Apparently late ovulation & excessive ovulation testing was going to be a winner ha!

Yes you def do not need to test anymore 😂

I'm going to try not to test again till tuesday (it's a lie I'm testing tomorrow morning haha)

Hubby doesn't know yet. Will wait till its stronger

How are you feeling? Any pregnancy symptoms?

OP posts:
glow92 · 07/03/2021 10:18

I have a few cheap tests still in the drawer! I'm just anxious now as it's another 3 weeks till the early scan I booked privately... I referred myself to the midwives online on Thurs and haven't a response yet I might phone tomorrow.

My sore boobs haven't gone away, more sore now but not horrendous. I was getting a dull ache on the right side of my pelvic area but that's settled now in the last couple days. No nausea yet, definitely more tired but that could be a lack of coffee, decaf in the morning just doesn't hit 🤦🏼‍♀️.

Haha do you think he'll be shocked? How long have you been trying if you don't mind me asking? Sorry you might have already said below.

Fireplacedreamer · 07/03/2021 11:57

When does your midwife accept referrals, ours isn't until 6 weeks from last period.

The only thing I'm sad about is no caffeine I do love a diet coke and a tea ha! I still have zero symptoms, its really odd! Not even an AF one.

The pain in your pelvis could have been baby getting good and comfy in a spot ha!

He will be! He had been telling himself it would take a year. We started in November so this is our 4th cycle. How about you?

Have you told anyone else yet? X
