Bleeding at 8DPO after late ovulation on first TTC cycle

Hey all,

About 18 months ago I had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy and lost a tube as a result.

I am now TTC again… first cycle trying!

Anyway … I think I know the answer to this, but you ladies on here will know better than anyone what it’s like driving yourself nuts and with my previous experience I’m a little anxious.

According to Clearblue Digital ovulation I ovulated on cycle day 19 (solid smiley) of a usual 27 day cycle, so late … however I began bleeding at 8DPO (which was original AF date had I ovulated at the “normal” time) it’s not as heavy as a normal period but it’s certainly not spotting.

Anyone any words of wisdom what’s going on? Or had a similar situation?

Was my clearblue digital ovulation test wrong? Is my period just determined it can’t ever be late😂?

Now I am not living in false hope over here, I’ve pretty much come to terms this is my period and I am out this cycle.

The purple strips has bad reviews and I personally cannot stand them they done the same as yours and I wasn’t ovulating or no where near really weird xx

Oh, well this is handy to know! They worked for me last time getting pregnant.. but this cycle was bizarre and they must have been wrong! Thank you for your reply! ❤️
