5 days late (what's going on)

September 05, 2008

I took HPT yesterday and it was negative. I know that there is a very low chance that I'm pregnant this month because we went to RE during my O time and did not really BD. I don't understanf why I'm so late with my period, I'm usually very regular. Has this happened with anyone whose cycle is usually prety regular?

You must have ovulated late or not at all. Maybe have your RE run a beta test as well as a progesterone test to see whats up.

But that never happened to me before, I've had regular period since 13. Could it be that at 33 I'm not going to have AF for the first time?

it can happen at any age - i would ask the doc to do some hormone tests to see whats going on tho.

Hi maria,

Im no expert but i would think the most likely explanation (if pregnancy is ruled out), is that u ovulated later than normal hence why ur af is late. I know you said u've always had regular periods but its not uncommon for cycles to vary occasionally especially if theres any extra stress going on. At 33 i think its unlikely your going to be pre-menopausal.

My cycles are pretty regular but the last 2 months i have ovulated 5 days later than normal and i think the reason is because i was having a lot of fertility tests at the time and waiting for the results put me under more stress than normal.

I think u should take a HPT in a few days and if it bfn and ur af still hasnt arrived u should visit ur doc.

Good luck, hope everything works out ok, keep us updated.
