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?

It just says to email your details once you get a positive test... could maybe depend on area? (Im Cumbria) however maybe I shouldn't worry about not having a reply for another week or so if that's the case!

I only really have a coffee in the morning when I drive to work but I really really struggled without it last week! Also, I did dry Jan and Feb then got positive test on 1st Mar so I could be doing a dry year 🤦🏼‍♀️😂.

I stopped my pill start of December so 3, I was fully expecting it to take a while too after being on the pill for so long. No-one knows yet, depending on the early scan if a few weeks we may tell parents then if everything looks ok.

Yes it must be area based then. I'm Bedfordshire.

Hahaha a whole year with no alcohol. We will need it when they are toddlers 😂

So exciting. Think we will go for an early scan too probably around 8/9weeks.

Have you worked out roughly when you will be due? I'm over excited and think I'll be 16th November

I'm thinking 12/13th Nov!
My birthday in Oct, baby hopefully Nov and then Xmas I don't think my boyfriend has worked that out yet 😳💰.

I know, I'll be asking for gin for Christmas 100%!

When your ready there's a thread on the pregnancy board 'November 2021', there's a link on there to a (private) FB group... it's quiet at the moment but I imagine it'll become very busy in weeks to come! Nice to have some girls to chat too at the same early stage.

Fireplacedreamer · 07/03/2021 14:16

Haha I bet that hasn't kicked in yet ha! I'm so going to miss gin!

Oh fab I'll try and find it and join in. Thanks for letting me know 😀

How are you planning to tell your husband? 🙂🙂

Fireplacedreamer · 07/03/2021 17:35

I have no idea 😂how did you tell? I might have to copy you 😂😂

I ended up just coming out with it and showing the tests when I came in from work last Tues I couldn't hold it in anymore after knowing for nearly 2 days at the point! 🙈 then we took the dog for a walk which was nice to have a lovely long talk about it.
I'd ordered him a book from Amazon which I was going to make him open, which came a day later so I could have held on really! "Commando Dad: Advice for Raw Recruit" - he's not military but he likes that sort of thing and the book looks very light hearted and easy reading for him... Him and me both have a lot to learn!

Fireplacedreamer · 07/03/2021 18:53

Ah that was a lovely idea! Hilarious that it wouldn't stay in any longer though 😂😂 I'm sure I'll end up slipping up at some point. He keeps asking why I'm extra happy today 😬😬

glow92 · 09/03/2021 17:55

Does he now know? 🙂🙂🙂
I told a close friend today, I just needed someone who can relate to talk to. That will be it till the early scan though all being well.

Fireplacedreamer · 09/03/2021 18:32

Yes he knows and is very excited 😊

I really want to tell my mum on Mothers day but hubby is enjoying it being a secret so I have 5 days to convince him otherwise haha.

Aww that's nice. I really feel its important to share all the aches and pains with! Were they excited for you?

I had my first symptom today at 5+1! I felt nauseous for 2hours haha. How are you feeling?

OP posts:
glow92 · 09/03/2021 18:40

Yes she was thrilled, she has 2 little ones and had a few pregnancy struggles so I know I can go to her if needed. I'd love to tell my Mum but that would mean probably having to tell my partners parents also and everyone in the city would know by a day later 🤦🏼‍♀️.

Thankfully no nausea yet, I've had a couple of bad days for fatigue and that's about it apart from the sore boobs still.

I don't know how to count myself, 5+4 from last period but I've read to bring it back a week due to the late ovulation 🙄. So I'm possibly only 4+4.

Fireplacedreamer · 09/03/2021 20:38

Aww that's good then. Glad you have a mini support network in the early days. HA! I can imagine how that would plan out haha.

I'm the same. They say from the date of your last period is how they work out when you can book for your 12 weeks scan but then its likely they will put us back a week due to late ovulation. Typical

Did you tell him in any kind of way? Wish I'd done something more fun now!

I phoned the maternity unit today to check they've received my details as it's been a week, should have an appointment booked by next week 🤞🏼 guessing for early April.

Haha I don't want a week taken away from me 🙈 this early anxious stage is going slower than tww!

Fireplacedreamer · 10/03/2021 18:33

Not that fun.. I just printed some photos of random things and put a picture of the test in there. Said to him I got some photos developed have a look and let me know if you want me to send any to your mum (she lives far away) his face was so funny when he found that one lol.

Ooh exciting! Is that for booking in? I registered yesterday and it says they will contact me in 10days so fingers crossed they do 😊 although I would rather my booking in and blood tests during Easter hols so I don't have to tell work yet 😊

How are you feeling?

OP posts:
glow92 · 13/03/2021 08:15

That was such a lovely way to share! Really like that 😊.

How've you been feeling the last few days? No new symptoms for me I just seem to want to go to bed earlier and earlier every night though feel so tired!

No appointment booked yet still, hoping they call early next week. 2 weeks tomorrow till early private scan 💜.

glow92 · 13/03/2021 08:16

Still keep doing a cheap test every few days to keep it feeling real 😂

Fireplacedreamer · 13/03/2021 13:59

I'm okay actually. Really tired by the end of the day but don't really have anything else.

Hopefully not long till they contact you, how far are you now? I havent been contacted either.

We have looked into early scans but can't seem to find one in the week I would like so looks like we won't be doing one xx

Oh my god I only just checked the thread! Sooo many congratulations to you both @glow92 @Fireplacedreamer !!! How exciting 😃 the best of luck to you in your pregnancies!!

AF never came for me but definitely done testing now and BFN! Hopefully be joining you both soon 🤞🏼

glow92 · 13/03/2021 14:32

I spoke to soon this morning, had first experience or nausea... hit me like a ton of bricks had to lie back in bed and not move for an hour 🤦🏼‍♀️.

I'd like to say 6+1 but I think just 5+1 with late O.

I think there's only one place that does it near where I live, they could only offer me 1 choice of day/time so must have been lucky. You could possibly leave number if they get any cancellations 🙂.

Hey @LunaL0veg00d thank you so much 💜. How many dpo are you now? That's so strange that it hasn't arrived. Really hope you get bfp soon also 🤞🏼.

Fireplacedreamer · 13/03/2021 14:42

Thanks @LunaL0veg00d hope you get your BFP soon 🤞🤞

Oh no! How do you feel now? I think I'm 3 days behind you with the same 7day adjustment possibly being made at 12week scan due to late O.

Yes think thats what I'll do. We have 4 near us (within 30mins) all fully booked so I imagine maternity may be busy 😂😂

OP posts:
glow92 · 13/03/2021 15:24

All the late lockdown babies near you 😂. Mines on a Sunday so I'm guessing they are busy also if that's the only slot!
To be honest I feel absolutely fine now, just came in a wave... have read it can usually start around 5 week mark.

Justbegoofy · 13/03/2021 15:27

I got pregnant in a cycle where I must have ovulated day 38!!!

Busybee32 · 27/03/2021 16:30

Hi all,

I came off the pill in November and fell pregnant that month. We found out in January we had, had a mmc. I have MVA surgical procedure early Feb and 2 weeks later got a call to say I had, had a partial molar pregnancy.

I used to have a 28 day cycle but this month has been 31. I have been using clear blue ovulation sticks and on cycle day 20. I just keep getting flashing smiley faces!! I am worried I haven't ovulated this month? Any help/ advice please xxx

LunaL0veg00d · 31/03/2021 09:17

@glow92 @Fireplacedreamer AF never did come but somehow got my BFP! I must have ovulated on day 40-something! Seems to be very very early days 🤞🏼

How are you guys??

Why is ovulation late?
LunaL0veg00d · 31/03/2021 09:18

@Busybee32 just keep persisting with peeing on the sticks, I have had flashing smilies for a week and nearly given up before getting a solid!
