No period cd36

Hi,
I'm on CD36, no period. I've had cramping for the last 4 days. The cramping has eased off a little today. My cycles vary between 31-34 days. I honestly have felt like AF could start any minute in the last 4 days but nothing.
I took a cheap pregnancy test CD34 and it was negative.
I had a positive ovulation test CD 20-21. It's driving me mad, and I'm afraid to test again because I don't want to be disappointed.

How are you doing now?

If you ovulated on cd22 then you would be 14dpo now. I know you took a test two days ago but if you have a spare one it could be worth ruling it out? Either that or AF is due today/tomorrow so you could wait another day, or you ovulated later. The lh doesn’t guarantee ovulation just that it’s very likely to happen and mostly does.

Hi @Blue2020
Thank you for replying. Yeah I'm hoping this is the case and I may have just tested too early. I've not got any tests here and i was going to wait until Monday and if no AF, and a negative by then I can rule it out.
But holding on until then feels like an eternity 😅 i'll more than likely get a test tomorrow.
It's the cramps that are strange, I feel like AF is going to start at any moment. Also my AF's over the last few months have been short and light. So I'm worried there's something else going on 😔

@Becitee do you normally have cramps before AF?

I hope you get one or the other within the next few days so then you know where you stand. Probably waiting a day or two more might be a good idea.

I don’t know if you have looked in to it but bbt (temp checking) could be good to track in the future to confirm ovulation happened? It’s not helpful to use alone for conceiving because it only rises after, however it confirms ovulation happened and takes potential confusion away.

Thank you. AF arrived this morning 😔 I'm in unbelievable pain mostly in my left side. It's got me a little worried, but because I haven't tested I'm putting it down to just a very painful AF
