Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to conceive, and my cycle is regular at 28 days. I stopped using ovulation kits two months ago but can still track my ovulation based on symptoms. This cycle, I am currently two days late, but my pregnancy tests are negative. Has anyone experienced this before? Could it still be too early to detect, or is there another reason for the delay? Looking for some advice or similar experiences. Thanks!

You likely ovulated later than you think. I had a few months when I was randomly three or four days late. I only ever tracked my cycle with an app so I assume it was late ovulation.

@dukebentleymom,

That’s possible, but I did notice all my usual ovulation symptoms at the expected time. Anyway, I guess cycles can be unpredictable sometimes!

@Campkm,

I know it’s disappointing, but at least you have some clarity,Now you can focus on the next cycle and prepare for a fresh start. Let’s catch up next month and stay positive together!

I was 6 days late and AF decided to show up last night. I was really hopeful it might be a late positive. Sometimes our bodies do some whacky things and make us second guess.
