Mid cycle bleed now 3 days late for AF

So as title says. This last month I had a mid cycle bleed (days 15/16 ovulation calculates on Flo as day 13) it was heavy so don't believe to be ovulation bleed, I had an internal scan as I have never had a mid cycle bleed before and when being examined at the docs I have large amounts of pain at the site of my left ovary so they wanted to check it out. Anyway, had the two days bleeding then it just stopped dead. I am now two days late for period. Usually fairly regular, have had back pain and some light cramping, more tired than normal and I just don't feel 'right' as such. I did a hpt but has come back negative. I did this at 4.30am after feeding my little one so was first wee. I used a clear blue test. Has anyone else experienced this? Did you end up getting a BFP or was it just you body just out of sync for a month? I know they say your body can take a while to get back into normal sync following a baby (my boy is 6 month) although since my post birth bleeding stopped I have had no issues with my period it has been regular this is the only off month I've had. I have refrained from buying any more tests cause I become obsessed with it! If AF hasn't turned up by end of next week do I test again? As then if the mid cycle bleed has thrown everything saying it was my period although only two days I should at least have expected to have started my period by then for sure?
Sorry for the babble! TIA

What did the scan show? Was there a corpus luteum? Did they find a reason for the bleed?

@physicskate everything was fine, they couldn't find any reason for the bleed at all. Although unsure if this is because it had stopped by the time I went in for it. I'm not sure what that is, sorry. It's nothing I recognise so they wouldn't have said it to me as I'd have remembered.

It's the bit left on the ovary after ovulation, the ruptured follicle that the egg was released from. It proves you ovulated... but may have not been visible or looked for.

Was there a follicle?

It may not be possible for us to say if your healthcare providers and tests (
Scan) can't provide answers.., it might just be 'one of those things.' Generally af is late when you ovulate later than you had thought, or if you skip ovulation on an anovulatory cycle.

Unfortunately they just said everything looked normal and nothing to worry about.
I still haven't come on my period. I'm just wondering if it's possible I could be pregnant with having had the bleed. I guess we shall see tomorrow as I think if I still haven't come on I'll get a FRER and go from there.
