Hi everyone

I got a positive hpt at end of August and it sadly ended in a chemical I started bleeding day before af really heavy for 7 days it ended the 7th September

On the 13th I got a positive opk week dtd 12th and 13th on the 14th I started spotting which turnt into a light period for 3 days going from red to rusty and brown

The whole week before my af was due i sorry tmi felt damp on the 25th I done the last opk i had it was blazing positive came up so fast and was darker than test line ,we dtd tge next day
My period was ment come Saturday or Sunday it still hasn't shown

Was that me actually ovulating on the 25th so Im going to skip a peirod ive done 4 hpt last one was a first response this morning and all negetive

Anyone had this after a chemical I really thought I wae pregnant been hqving nausea heavy boob's and my sense smell is crazy

I know no one can tell me what's wrong but was hoping someone has been through similar cant see doctor for 2 weeks only time could get an appointment

Hi lovely,

It’s possible the chemical has had an effect on your hormones for the next cycle.

OPKs detect LH hormone - when this gets high enough your body releases an egg - it may be the case that yours has risen on 13th to give a positive opk but not enough to trigger the release of an egg, which is why your body has tried again on 25th and hopefully been successful

Do you know how long your luteal phase is? If you have ovulated on/around 25th then period would be due however long after ovulation you normally come on - just be a late period rather than skipping one. A good thing someone told me is there is no such thing as a late period just late ovulation

hope that all makes sense and best of luck xxxx
