Late ovulation?

Hi,
I am just after a bit of advice really.

My LMP was 30th June. I only had sex once that month which was 18th July. Originally, Flo said my ovulation date was 14th July. I know pregnancy from that date of intercourse is highly unlikely. I should be 5 weeks 3 days right now but I believe I am more like 4 weeks 1-2days. I was due to have a period on 31st July which didn’t come, first positive was 2nd August, negative digital clear blue weeks, positive CB on 3rd August which said 1-2 weeks. Is this likely that I have ovulated later rather than the pregnancy not progressing? Lines aren’t crazy darker but they are darker.

Yes sounds like you ovulated around the 18th to me. I never ovulate on day 14, usually day 18 - 19. Congratulations!

That’s what I thought! Thank you, I’m not able to speak to anyone about it atm.
Since my D&C last year for a molar pregnancy my body has been all over the place and my cycles varied from 25 days to 32.
I’ve got a scan with EPU on Tuesday, I’m not expecting to see much but hopefully all is okay!

That's good you don't have to wait long and they may do a blood test?
Sorry about your previous pregnancy. This does sound positive though so keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I wouldn't trust just the apps to know your ovulation, unless you were doing ovulation tests/bbt as well. I have been ovulating day 17/18 some months and some day 14, all within the range of normal. Sounds like you ovulated later than the app predicted. Congratulations.

I am hoping so. I have gone up to 2-3 on a clear blue digital this morning so definitely progressing which is a good sign. Thank you so much!!
