Does late AF mean Preggo or no ovulation

Hi, I need some advice.

We are TTC #1 and I am 5 days late!! I took a test yesterday and got a BFN. But this is what I am thinking. Since I went off the pill I have always had my period but not necessarly a 28 day cycle. For example, Mar-April 39 day cycle, April-May 32 day cycle, May-June 30 day cyle. So it has been difficult to know exactly when I am ovulating. I feel absolutely great with just a little bit of cramping once in a while but that is it. (Which I am not looking to feel bad when I am pregnant)

So do you think I should wait and take another test in a week or so? Call my gyno, because if I am not pregnant and not having my period then that pretty much means I am not ovulating, right? And that isn't good. So, if anyone has some advice or has gone through the same thing please let me know. I want to be pregnant so bad, I want a baby!!! If you know what I mean!

Thanks for your help,

Summer

TTC since April

Hey Summer,

I know for me, since I have gone off the pill, my cycles have been a little off...similar to you, 28 days one month, then 32 the next. There are a few ways to see if you are ovulating: one is to us an OPK (ovulation predictor kit) and the other way is to chart your temps. (I don't do the last one, so I can't offer you much info. on that, but I think you can look at fertilityfriend.com and find out more info.) You might want to give it a few more days, and if no AF,test again.

I hope my comments have helped a little...and I hope to read about a BFP soon! Good luck and sending ++++++++ vibes +++++++++ your way!

Thank You Amber for your advice! Your note was so personal, I felt like I was talking to a good friend of mine. Hopefully we'll get to know each other on this board. I hope to meet some people here. It seems like a great place! Thanks!
