Period 4 days late - how?

Came off the pill Dec 24th had withdrawal bleed 3 days later as usual starting Dec 27th. Counting that as CD1. Using other methods as not TTC for a few months yet, just want to get an idea of cycles. So DTD CD8 and CD23 avoiding fertile windows. Tracked EWCM and believe ovulation was somewhere between CD15-17. Had some spotting on CD15 too, so I thought that could be ovulation.

However, day after DTD so CD24 I had more EWCM and light cramping which I wasn’t expecting. Surely not ovulation so late on?

Now on CD32, no AF in sight. BFN on CD29 and CD30. Not even a hint of anything otherwise. I suppose it would be too early to test if ovulation somehow happened later on CD24? For the past two days on and off I have had a small amount of pink spotting which I thought was AF arriving but seemingly not. Also had cramps today.

Here’s the thing: when I’ve had a break from the pill before for several months my periods returned immediately and consistently arrived very late in the evening of CD27, so practically CD28. Never varied.

I’ve read the pill can send you into a bit of a PCOS state, hoping that’s not happened.

It took 3 months one time I came off the pill to get my first proper period… ewcm doesn’t confirm ovulation, but that your body is probably heating up to ovulate and it might end up doing this numerous times before it finally does.
