My last few cycles have been approximately 26 days.
I just started ovulation testing this month and now it is day 12 and still all negative. (Have tested since day 9). I use the Clearblue Advanced Digital test. Not even a high fertility result, or peak.
I have not been on any hormonal BC, and I do get a period every month.

Is this something I should be concerned about as I thought I might be closer to ovulation now as my cycles are a bit shorter than average.

I'll test again tomorrow as day 13 is when I usually get a lot of EWCM.

Thanks for advice!

I had/have 26 day cycles and ovulated on CD14 so I wouldn't worry.

How often are you testing? I tested once a day and didn’t find my peak, so then I tested twice a day and found it one mid afternoon. It peaked and dropped in half a day, so quick that I missed it the month before. I only used some cheapies from Amazon so it didn’t cost a fortune. Good luck OP! 🍀

Thank you! Twice a day at the moment, but still always negative. I’m scared to be wasting a lot of tests, haha. I hope to get a positive tomorrow.

I would get some cheap tests, do a digital in the morning and use the cheap one in the afternoon. To catch my peak I used clear blue digital first thing then used cheapies multiple times through the day. I have a short luteal phase (about 12 days) so it is possible to ovulate later in your cycle and still have a 26 day cycle.
