stress affecting ovulation help

I am wondering if stress can cause you to ovulate late and sometimes not at all in a cycle do you think I am out this round or what. Is there a chance I could still ovulate and if so how long after a stressful incident would a person normally ovulate if they are going to?


I have been under so much stress this cycle, shortly after AF came to visit there was an incident in our life and the stress of that alone was unbearable but at least tolerable but going through the roles of doing what is right and filing reports about it etc there was a certain detective that actually caused more stress in this family than was called for or even needed and he definately pushed me over the edge both times I have had to deal with him. Not only with stress but getting really angry and all of this went on about a week before ovulation and around ovulation so I was reading that stress could cause me not to ovulate or be late about it. Along with all this stress the week before ovulation our car went down (only vehicle) so we ended up with $1400 in repairs and yes we bought a new vehicle too since we desperately needed 2 cars in this house again. So alot of s**t happened that particular week and during when ovulation was supposed to be happening.


As all of you may

HI stormie - once my mother's sister came to town to visit. now my mother stresses me out enough, her older sister is like my mom times 1,000,000. my period was 2 weeks late that month. this was years before i got into charting, TTC and all that, i was just a happy gal in my 20's. NOW i know, that the stress caused me to delay ovulation 2 weeks, and then AF was 2 weeks late. IT HAPPENS!!!

i would say you definitely have not O;ed. keep watching your CM, and as you relax, it will come!

GL!!

its funny what stops ovulation and yet the summer I got pregnant was so super stressful with my mom in the hospital not expected to make it, my MIL was denied access back into the country so we had to travel 1600 miles to her home and pack things up and clean and get her home ready to sell and bring her 3 cats back to my house and try to find homes for them. Because of all the animals on the way home we slept in the car many times yet some how I got pregnant under all that stress lol But I would rather go through all that again then what we have had to deal with these last 2 weeks. Its just frustrating and today when I awoke and saw my temps low again I got upset and started crying caused my DH to get upset and we ended up in a fight so its been an all around emotional rollercoaster today and I dont think my hormones are being very nice either lol.


Sorry AF showed for you I was really hoping you would get your BFP this month.
