Did I ovulate late?

Taylor

As of today my period is 20 days late. My hubby and I took the opportunity to do some extra baby dancing the first week I was late- still not a lot for the month cuz our 3yo keeps us busy, but at least it happened. *shrug*

I've taken at least 4 hpts since being late, the last one on the 9th, and all came back negative.

Is it possible that I ovulated late and the dancing we did later in the month actually did something but it was too early to detect? I'm trying not to get my hopes up and resisting the urge to buy more tests, but it's all I can think about!

Update! I bought a couple cheapo dollar store tests on my lunch break on the faint hope that something might be there. Looks like I'll be buying a digital test to take in the morning because I definitely see something. Still not getting excited because I know blue dye tests are finicky, but I'm so ready for a clear yes or no!

It is possible.. but periods are sometimes just late for no reason really. If you’re not tracking ovulation with tests and/or tracking temps, then there’s no real way to know when you ovulated. Take another test to see or wait another week or two. Best of luck!

Yep! When I was ttc with my daughter, I had a cycle where I was like 15-20 days late (I can’t remember). I was tracking ovulation, but I experienced some stress and sickness that cycle.. I think the combo affected my period.

Thank you. I've not been the best about logging out taking ovulation tests the last few months because my cycle has been pretty regular, but as you stated, periods can change for no reason.

I think it’s gone past late ovulation at 20 days late. You may have just skipped this month. Did anything change for you such as stress or illness? Vaccinations?

Thank you. I don't feel like much of anything has changed. I know I didn't take any medications or get any new vaccinations, but I'm almost always stressed. Maybe this month my body decided that stress and a period were just too much for me. Lol!
