Can stress cause late ovulation?

Hi everyone,

I guess basically what it says in the title. I just needed to vent somewhere as I am so frustrated with my body!

I have pretty regular cycles at 28/29 days with all the signs of ovulation on day 14/15 on a normal cycle (who knows if an actual egg is released but I have the signs). This time I am waiting to do a FET but need to let them know as soon as I’ve ovulated so they can book me in for a 5 day transfer. However this time, I just don’t seem to be ovulating 🤷‍♀️ I have been doing OPKs for a week now and the last 5 days it’s been high but not peak. However I’ve had very little ewcm and BBT is very low. I’ve been for 3 scans in the last few days as I’ve got fluid in one of my fallopian tubes, with the first scan saying it had gone and then the second telling me it’s back. Also, the sonographer at the last scan said if we get to day 18/19 without peak on the OPKs, they will have to cancel the cycle and try again next month. i am now on day 17 with no signs and I feel so stressed with it all and now my body doesn’t seem to be ovulating and it’s so frustrating and I don’t know how to help it along!
