I went off the pill 6 months ago and my body went right back to a 28 day cycle no problem. Every 14th day I get a lot of CM(cervical mucus), cramping on one side, and I would know I was ovulating… 13 days later aunt flo would show up.
Well this month I didn’t get any O(ovulation) pain at all or CM around the 13th/14th day. On day 26, I did have some CM with pain…I dont know if I ovulated late or what…My period was supposed to come on Saturday and it has yet to show up…The last time we had sex was 4 days before day 26 (ie : pain and CM day).could I be pregnant? I took a test on tuesday (which was 3 days past period due date) and it was negative.
I have been extremely bloated,slightly nauteous and just all around blah for the last week,but now I don’t know if its just psychosomatic. I feel like ultimate crap and people have been telling me that if I ovulated on day 26,I will have to wait for another 14 days before I get a period which would be next wednesday the 26th.arrg! I hate being a woman sometimes.If anyone can shed some light or share some storys I’d appreciate it.
It looks like you’ve got a good handle on how your body works under menstruation circumstances. From my experience, the more you stress about being late, sometimes the stress can result in your period being even later. From what I can see, and IANAD, but if you ovulated on day 26, then you should have to wait another 13 days for your period if that’s the way you usually go. There could be a lot of explainations as to why you ovulated late, stress being one of them. I hope you use protection and not just the “rhythm” method, because it’s fairly unreliable. If you are still curious, take a trip to see your doc and ask them to perform a quick pregnancy test and explain the circumstances.

Well the confusing thing is that there hasn’t been any stress in my life what so ever…28 day cycles have been normal for me my whole life(well since i was 13 anyways) I don’t use protection cause I am married and my husband and I were discusing staring a family anyways. I went off the pill 6 months ago so that everything could regulate properly (which it did right away,back to 28 day cycles)and because being on the pill depleted folic acid reserves in the body which you need to prevent spina bifida. We weren’t actually trying this month,we were going to start in june but were prepared for any happy accidents. I don’t know I guess just the thought of being pregnant is a scary thing especially since I have never been before. Thanks for reading.
Boy! You’re much better at that whole scene than I ever was. No cramps, fairly regular, and all I’d have to do was stand next to a fertile man and I’d be pregnant. Maybe you’re just freaking yourself out. I’d wait it out a couple more weeks and see what happens. Good luck!
Sounds like you ovulated late. If so you may be late with your period and not pregnant… Unfortunately if you are pregnant it will take a bit to show up on the home test as they are designed to be taken about 14 days after conception. A blood test would show for sure though and you can always call the doctor to find out… mine is very nice about that!! Good luck whatever happens as starting a family is scary but ultimately IMHO worth all of it.
Or there’s the possiblity that you’ve skipped this month. Last year, after a lifetime of clock-like regularity, I mysteriously skipped a month. I still have no idea what happened. I was on the Pill at the time, so there wasn’t much chance of pregnancy, and it showed up again as normal the next month. Shrug. I was convinced I was pregnant anyway, and went off the Pill, which we’d been planning to do anyhow.
Anyhow, you might be pregnant too. Good luck!
