Pregnancy with late ovulation

Author, everything is fine with you. Late ovulation is not uncommon; I myself have a long cycle and am now 18 weeks pregnant, with a big discrepancy from the obstetric term—my doctor calculates it based on the ultrasound). However, the ultrasound doctor who examined you is unprofessional and doesn't deserve their position. I've had a retrochorionic hematoma in every pregnancy, early on. It's a mystery to me... why prescribe Duphaston right away when there are papaverine suppositories, No-Spa, and rest... I advise finding a good ultrasound specialist and doctor. Don't stress yourself out; think about the baby).

Rina, thank you so much for your support. I agree about the doctor, but where can I find one? I live in a small town in Crimea; even the gynecology ward in the hospital doesn't have an ultrasound machine, so what can I say? But they perform cleanings in no time. I had an ultrasound done at the "Ultrasound of Everything and Anything" center, where I used to be able to go. If needed, I'll head to Simferopol.

I didn't understand what the author's question was. Late ovulation is a very common occurrence, and so is early ovulation. You need to change your doctor... "She doesn't know if it's a pregnancy"... where did you dig that one up.

I agree with the previous posts. And also, author, if you have started taking Duphaston, under no circumstances should you stop it on your own! Now you'll have to complete the course and discontinue it strictly under a doctor's supervision!!! It is taken for a minimum of up to 16 weeks. Some even up to 28 weeks.

When I was 5 weeks by my last period, the ultrasound showed a 2-week pregnancy, and it was also questionable, by the way. Then the doctor said it was due to late ovulation... When I went for my first ultrasound at 11 weeks, the fetus had already completely caught up to its gestational age... So don't worry!))

I didn't notice the delay either, as my cycle had always been irregular. When I realised I was pregnant, I went for an ultrasound. According to the dates of my last period, it was calculated as 10 weeks, but the ultrasound showed 7 weeks.

Obviously, the author is pregnant! Don't fill your head with nonsense! You've just come across such a "clever" specialist—it's a perfectly normal pregnancy! That's why women always use contraception, regardless of their cycle; otherwise, if everyone only got pregnant on certain days, there wouldn't be any contraceptives!)))

I also had my pregnancy questioned today - there's a corpus luteum in the ovary too, and according to my last period, it shouldn't be there. They also said it might have been a late ovulation, and I have to go for another ultrasound in a week!! ((

Girls, I had a four-week delay; initially, for about 2-3 weeks, I did tests and ultrasounds, and everything came back negative. I had been taking birth control pills for two years and was told it might be a hormonal imbalance after stopping them. During this time, I had three ultrasounds, and nothing showed up, so I let it go. About a week later, I went to get tested for an ectopic pregnancy and decided to take a test—it showed two lines. I went for an ultrasound and was told I was five weeks pregnant, even though just 10 days earlier, the ultrasound showed nothing! I don't understand—could it be that neither the ultrasound nor the test can detect pregnancy in the early stages?

So, I have a 50-day delay now; my last period was on November 22nd, and my cycle is usually 30-34 days. I've been doing tests, but they're all negative so far. Every evening, I feel a pulling sensation in my lower abdomen. I really want a baby.

Oh, I'm going through almost the same situation right now. I had an ultrasound five days ago, and the doctor estimated it at 5 weeks based on the scan and didn't see a heartbeat, even though the gynaecologist said I was 6-7 weeks pregnant. They told me to come back in two weeks. I'm absolutely on pins and needles... I can't bear waiting two weeks; I'm going to try again in three days... The main thing is to hear the heartbeat, that's all I need!

I'll share my story. On 17 October 2014, I had a laparoscopy. My next period came on 21 November. But in December, I never got it, so I went for an ultrasound on 26 December and was told everything was fine, nothing unusual. In January, the tests were negative, still no period, and the clinic was closed until 12 January (only handling emergencies). I went to a private one—they attributed it to a hormonal imbalance and ordered tests.

Another 10 days passed... and then there they were, two faint lines on the test. A digital test showed 2-3 weeks. I rushed for an ultrasound, scheduled for 23 January—I had it done, and they diagnosed a missed miscarriage. They gave me a referral for an abortion. My grief was beyond words!!! I didn't go right away; I decided to wait. On 29 January, I went for another ultrasound, but privately this time, to get a better machine's assessment—the result was a 5-week pregnancy with a plus for heartbeat. When I went to the doctor, she was shocked and set my term at 10 weeks (based on my last period), but only 5 weeks by ultrasound. So, girls, this is what a pregnancy with late ovulation looks like. Be attentive to your body.

My story turned out to be even sadder. During my period days, I experienced spotting, pain, and a fever, but I didn't pay much attention to it because my cycle was disrupted after stopping birth control pills. On the third day of my expected period, I took a pregnancy test—two lines. Three days later, I scheduled an ultrasound. The ultrasound technician diagnosed a missed miscarriage, as it had been 6 weeks since my last period, but the gestational sac was only 3 weeks. I rushed to my doctor, showed her the ultrasound, and, choking back tears, told her about the diagnosis! She examined me, asked a few questions, and told me not to worry, to cry less, and to take care of the baby, which was conceived through LATE OVULATION. In the evening, I felt a pulling pain in my lower abdomen and called an ambulance. They took me to the hospital, examined me roughly until I bled, and sent me to a ward. An hour later, the bleeding started... I ran to the treatment room to wake the nurses, begging them to do something, to which they replied, "What is there to do? Lie down!" I lay down, suffered all night with cramp-like pains, and in the morning, I miscarried my two little embryos. They cleaned me up immediately and with apparent satisfaction, refusing to answer any questions. The only thing they said was: late ovulation—an old, doomed egg. I think this is complete nonsense and an excuse from the doctors for their inaction towards me:'(. While I was in the hospital, I met new acquaintances, some of whom had late ovulation, and their pregnancies were progressing normally. So, author, don't stress and don't overthink. Rejoice in what the Lord has blessed you with and take care. Wishing you a good pregnancy, easy delivery, and a healthy baby :-)

It's already day 45 of my cycle (my cycles are usually like clockwork, 28-30 days), but still no period. I took tests on the 8th and 10th day of the delay... the first one was a faint line, the second had a pink line... I rushed to the doctor for an ultrasound to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. There are no signs of that. They said it could either be an early pregnancy (something seems to be developing... they even measured 0.48) or a late ovulation. They told me to come back in two weeks. My lower back aches a bit sometimes, but nothing painful. I'm going crazy. Has anyone had a similar experience, and what was the outcome?

Our female bodies can work wonders in various ways. My story is this... I have two children, I'm 40, and about five years ago, I decided that was enough. But as it happened, time seemed to turn back, and we decided to have another baby. However, it wasn't that straightforward. My Müllerian hormone was almost zero, the endometrium was non-existent, and my ovaries were practically inactive. I started running from doctor to doctor. After a year of unsuccessful stimulations, my ovaries finally woke up and started working. But even though everything seemed back to normal, it just wasn't happening. The last time, we planned insemination, but on the 11th day of my cycle, the endometrium was 8mm, and there was only one follicle of 8mm in the right ovary. The doctor said to cancel everything. My cycle was regular, 28 days. The last menstrual cycle was on 28th March, and today is 5th May – a 13-day delay. Thinking I had probably overdone it with the hormones and brought on early menopause, and given the doctor's words that ovulation couldn't have occurred, I went for an ultrasound. The doctor was astonished when the ultrasound showed two corpus lutea, 16mm and 18mm. So, there you have it – late ovulation. Now I'm sitting here waiting, hoping something might have worked out. According to the doctor, an incredible, inexplicable miracle has happened. So, girls, don't despair. Even though it's too early for me to celebrate, we must always believe, and it will happen. And I might even be having twins :-)

Girls, today I went to register for my pregnancy. The obstetric term is 10 weeks, but according to the ultrasound, it's 8.3. Late ovulation. Right away, the doctor prescribed Duphaston without any tests, on the very first appointment. I've read up that you shouldn't take it just like that. Tomorrow I'm going to see another doctor. Can they really prescribe hormones without any basic examination or tests?

Girls, today is day 35 of my cycle, with a 7-day delay. Yesterday evening, I had some spotting. I got really stressed about it, as we've been trying to conceive for a very long time. I rushed to the doctor this morning, and she suspects it might be a very early pregnancy. The ultrasound didn't show anything, neither inside nor outside. She basically threw her hands up and said she couldn't help me. I was absolutely shocked! I've scoured the entire internet since then. Could it be that I ovulated late? I'm leaning towards it being the implantation period because I've taken six tests, and all showed two lines. I've never had that happen before. Hope dies last, after all. I'll wait another week or two and then go to a different doctor for another ultrasound. Can you tell me, dears, what this might be? My head is spinning with worry, I don't know what to think!

Karina, if the test shows two lines, it indicates the presence of chorion, which only occurs during pregnancy or with a tumour. Get a blood test for HCG and don't agonise over the result—see a doctor. The ultrasound didn't show anything for two reasons: either it's an ectopic pregnancy or the sonographer is incompetent.

Irina, believe me, Duphaston can only harm your liver; the baby needs to be saved, and if the doctor prescribed it, it's necessary. My daughter is 12 years old now, and back then, we took Duphaston from the very first days, although I prefer Utrogestan more—it can be administered vaginally. Duphaston is synthetic progesterone, while Utrogestan is natural. The only downside of Utrogestan is that it comes in capsules, and it's hard to adjust the dosage—you might end up needing to take one and a half tablets. Progesterone is essential for the proper attachment of the fetus to the uterus because, in the early stages when there's no placenta, the corpus luteum releases progesterone for development. Take it and don't be afraid! I'm planning for another child and have been taking it for a year every cycle; my endometrium is very poor, and I'm fine, and it won't harm the baby.

Tell me what happened in the end! I'm going through exactly the same thing right now!

And how did it all end up?

My cycle is irregular, it varies a lot; last month, there was a 7-day delay, but eventually, my period came. This month, the delay is already 8 days. After the 25th day of my cycle, we didn't use protection, and now I'm worried it could be pregnancy. I've also been taking herbs this month for inflammation, or could it be because of them, like some kind of disruption?

Girls! I was on the pill before this after an ectopic pregnancy. I have one tube left. In March, I took my last pack. In April, my period was 3 days late but then came. Now in May (today is day 5 of the delay), I've taken tests yesterday and today—both negative. Nothing hurts or bothers me, except for the absence of my period.))) My estimated ovulation should have been around May 13-15 (according to my calculations), how much could it have been delayed? (I know it might be a silly question) but could ovulation happen just 2-3 days before my expected period??? Usually, before my period, I get a pulling sensation in my back and lower abdomen, and there's some spotting with blood, so I know it'll start in 2-3 days. But this time, no signs at all, and the test is silent!! I just don't know what to think; I understand it's silly to rush for an ultrasound and start searching for something. But with two laparoscopies behind me and this burning desire to get pregnant... what do you think, should I wait another week? Or should I go to the doctor and have them induce my period?

Girls, it turned out that I ovulated, as I later understood, only during my expected period (my cycle was fluctuating between 30-38 days, and it was regulated to 28 with Duphaston).
I got terribly stressed because of the doctors. A very faint line only appeared on the 8th day of the delay, and for a long time, nothing was visible on the ultrasound because the actual term was very small. I was repeatedly scared about an ectopic pregnancy. My endometrium was 16 mm, as if my period was about to start (it seems my body was expecting them and no longer anticipated conception). The outcome: on the 21st day of the delay, I was given a term of 5 weeks and 6 days. Yesterday, I had an ultrasound, and they even let me listen to the heartbeat! HCG levels are normal. They said everything is fine, and sometimes late ovulation happens just like that. So, girls, the main thing is not to panic or worry! My ovulation had always been on time before, I underwent many examinations, had many ultrasounds, but in that month, it was delayed by a whole two weeks!

Girls, please help, I'm all stressed out ((( My cycle is regular, 28 days, with periods lasting 7 days. My period was supposed to start on 25.06, the last one was on 28.05. And for some reason, I decided to measure my basal temperature. It was 37.2. I decided to take a test, and there was a faint second line. Then I took three more tests, and they also showed a second line. I went for an ultrasound a week ago, and they didn't see anything. Today I had another ultrasound, and again they didn't see anything, but there is a corpus luteum. The doctor estimates 5-6 weeks, but at this stage, shouldn't they be able to see something? This is my first pregnancy, and it took so long to conceive. They've scheduled me for an hCG test and to come back in 5 days. Now I'm afraid to go, what if it's bad news ((( Could this be due to late ovulation? Has anyone experienced something like this?

Hello girls, I'm in a similar situation... According to my last period, the pregnancy should be around 10-11 weeks, but today at the ultrasound, they said it's 7 weeks. When I called and told my midwife about it, she was very surprised and said, "How can it be 7 weeks? Why?" She told me to come back in a couple of days so we can decide...! But what is there to decide? Are they going to start giving me something??

Please help! Unprotected intercourse since day 1 (28.05). Last one on 21.07. Period is 8 days late. Nipples hurt, breasts have enlarged. Veins have become visible all over the body. Frequent urination. Drowsiness. Increased appetite. HCG

[quote="Expecting a baby"]Please help! From the first day of my period (28.05), I've had unprotected intercourse. The last time was 21.07. My period is 8 days late.

Hello. I'm sharing my story about late ovulation. In November (from the 5th to the 12th), my boyfriend and I flew to the seaside (my period had just ended before the trip). During the holiday, I fell seriously ill (complications with sinusitis, treatment with antibiotics, etc.). We used protection for the rest of the time, and just before my period was due (30th November, we let our guard down) (my cycle is 30 days). My period didn't come when expected. I took a test – negative – and assumed it was a disruption due to the antibiotics, so I waited calmly. About five more days passed, I repeated the test, and there was a very faint line. I rushed to the doctor. She, of course, couldn't see anything and sent me for an ultrasound. Before the ultrasound, I took another test, and the line was much brighter. The ultrasound didn't detect a fetus either. I had a blood test for HCG (pregnancy was confirmed at 1-2 weeks). They told me to come back in 1.5 weeks. In the end, the ultrasound showed 3 weeks. The doctor explained that the antibiotics had caused a disruption, resulting in late ovulation.

Hello, girls. Reading your posts brings me a sense of calm. I want to share my story. My last period was on May 26th; my husband and I had been planning this pregnancy. We tried tracking ovulation twice before without success, but the third time, when we just went with the flow, it happened. My cycle is 28-29 days, and my periods are regular and on time. I had a delay, and my period was due on June 24th. Two days later, I took a pregnancy test, and the line was very faint. I repeated it after 2-3 days, and it was much clearer. I booked an appointment with the gynaecologist for July 4th, which was roughly 6 weeks from my last period. She examined me but didn’t send me for an ultrasound, saying there were no signs of an ectopic pregnancy. The spotting started the next day. I called her, and she said it was nothing serious, that it was normal, etc., and added that she didn’t recommend trying to save the pregnancy at such an early stage—now I realise just how much of a **** she was!!! Sorry! On Saturday, July 9th, we went into the city, and when I got home in the evening, my panty liner was soaked in dark red blood. We called an ambulance, and they took me in with suspicions of the worst... They examined me and did an ultrasound, but the idiot sonographer, relying only on the date of my last period, diagnosed a possible non-viable pregnancy... They had no clue about the concept of late ovulation... I was, of course, in shock. They prescribed Duphaston, No-Spa, and papaverine suppositories and sent me home. On Sunday, it all happened again, and no one at the first ultrasound mentioned a haematoma... At the second ultrasound, when I was admitted again by ambulance the next day, they saw the haematoma and admitted me to the hospital for early pregnancy and to try to save it.

I had my HCG tests done: on June 11th it was 5000, on June 13th it was 6700, and by June 18th it had reached 11,400. However, the ultrasound still didn't show an embryo or detect a heartbeat. The gestational sac grew from 0.7 mm on June 10th to 12 mm by June 18th... They said the progression is good, and now I'm scheduled for another ultrasound on August 3rd to hear the heartbeat. They estimate the pregnancy at 4-5 weeks by ultrasound, but based on my last menstrual period, it should be 8-9 weeks... So, I'll share more of the story with you after the 3rd. The girls have prescribed complete rest for me. I have to lie down for two weeks and not get up, except to use the toilet, eat, or take a shower. I've been lying like this for two weeks already. The discharge has stopped; they say it's just the hematoma resolving. The most important thing, as the doctor told me, is that there should be no bright red blood. In that case, I should raise the alarm. Otherwise, I'm continuing to take it easy.

Good evening

I want to share my story with you. My husband and I have been trying for a baby for about a year. I was under a doctor's care who told me everything was fine, but I wasn't satisfied with that. I changed doctors and am now undergoing tests, but during an ultrasound, I was told I have polycystic ovaries. The doctor said it's just an ultrasound finding and was very supportive. My periods are irregular, ranging from 30 to 35 days. This cycle, I have a 14-day delay. I took a test three days ago, and it was negative. There are no signs of PMS; my breasts have enlarged but don't hurt. I've noticed feeling nauseous in the kitchen sometimes, but otherwise, there's nothing else. Tomorrow I'm going to the hospital and am very curious to hear what they say. There's a small hope, but we'll see.

Hello everyone. I never cease to be amazed by the peculiarities of the body! My cycle is 30-31 days; it used to be irregular but now my periods come on time. My husband and I have been trying for a second cycle. On day 29, I took a test—first negative, then a very faint second line appeared. On day 30, I had an hCG test—result less than 1, no pregnancy. But this morning, I measured my basal temperature and it was 37.2! Not giving up, we had intercourse again—could it be a late ovulation? Before my period, it was always 36.9, and I've been thoroughly checked. It's just mind-boggling; currently, I'm two days late and don't know what will happen next!

Dear Pppr, what was the outcome in the end?

Please tell us what the outcome was! This is the first time I've had a 10-day delay, and all tests are negative. We're planning for children. But nothing has happened for 4 months now. I've undergone all the examinations with the gynaecologist (over 2-3 months), and everything is fine, including hormones. Occasionally, I feel a pulling sensation in my lower abdomen, but it goes away after a while. There are no signs of pregnancy! What could this be?((

It's already day 40 of my cycle, and I still haven't gotten my period. My cycle is irregular, ranging from 28 to 33 days. I've taken two tests—both negative—but I know tests can be wrong. On February 9th, I had an ultrasound, and they said they couldn't see anything and even scared me with the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy! No one even considered the possibility of late ovulation! For me, this is a nightmare because I only have one fallopian tube and one ovary! I'm going to see my gynecologist on Monday to see what she says. I'm sitting here absolutely terrified and going crazy with the uncertainty! We've been trying for a long time, but nothing worked, and now I'm scared of losing everything! Has anyone else experienced something similar? Please share how it turned out.

Good afternoon, girls, I have this situation... In 2014, I had an ectopic pregnancy, in 2015 I had a diagnostic laparoscopy... and then nothing. My last period was on 22.01.2017, my cycle is usually 28 days, but occasionally it's 29-30, though mostly it's 28. I take Duphaston from day 16 to 25 of my cycle, but this time on day 25, I went to get an HCG test and it was 3.5, although it's always been 0.1-0.2 for me, which made me concerned, especially since I read that it could be late ovulation. I continued taking Duphaston, and two days later, I took another HCG test, and the result was 5.3, meaning it increased... I haven't had my period, but there are very slight, minimal discharge (yellow with red), and my lower abdomen is pulling as if it's about to start... Today (after another two days), I took another HCG test (I'm still taking Duphaston, my doctor said not to stop under any circumstances), the result will only be available tomorrow, and I'm really hoping it has increased... the test today was negative...

I'm going crazy, all on pins and needles....

And I'm 11 days past ovulation today. My last period was on 17.02.04. The test showed a faint second line only at 7 days past ovulation. The tests aren't getting much darker, I've been for an ultrasound twice and NOTHING! No discharge, just a slight ache in the area of my right ovary (where the corpus luteum is). I feel nauseous, and my breasts hurt on the sides. My endometrial lining was only 7mm at 6 days past ovulation!! By 9 days past ovulation, it had grown to 10mm!! Naturally, everyone's scaring me about an ectopic pregnancy. Why scare me? I'm already terrified, shaking like an aspen leaf. But there's nothing left to do but wait, in case it was just a late ovulation. The uncertainty is killing me!

Hello girls! Here's my story. I had three cysts on my right ovary, all of different types, and the ovary wasn't functioning. I was waiting for surgery to remove them... My periods only came after stopping Duphaston, which I took as prescribed by my doctor, tailored to each cycle! The last cycle was about 60 days long—5 days on Duphaston and then my period! That was on the 3rd of December. The next cycle, I started Duphaston on day 30, took it for 5 days, and then stopped... but my period didn't come! I had intercourse on the 7th of January, the day before stopping Duphaston! I waited 4 days, took a test, not really expecting a result! It was completely negative! I thought even stopping Duphaston wasn't working anymore! (( But a week later, with no period and very swollen breasts, I took a second test—it was clear again after 5, 10, 15 minutes! For some reason, I didn't throw it away... BUT to my amazement, an hour later, a faint ghost line appeared on the dried test!!!! The next day, another one, veeeeery faint but on a more sensitive test! I rushed for an ultrasound, around day 47 of my cycle—they didn't see anything, no gestational sac, HCG was only 35, so nothing conclusive! Another 5 days later, another ultrasound, and amidst a bunch of endometriotic lesions in the uterus, the doctor seemed to see something about 0.8 mm! I got my HCG tested—950!!! But again, lots of doubts... The next ultrasound around day 60 of the cycle—4.5 mm, and most importantly—a heartbeat!!))))) It was definitely a pregnancy, and not a biochemical one as the geneticist had predicted )) Two months of strict bed rest followed; I was even afraid to sneeze)))) and the first screening told me I could relax for now!!! There's a complete discrepancy between the ultrasound dates and the obstetric dates; I'm all confused about what to count and when... And by the way, I haven't taken Duphaston since stopping it! Girls, to all of you dreaming of pregnancy—bless you! May all your wishes come true, amen!!!!

Well, I'm not sure about my case either.
My cycle isn't particularly regular, and pregnancy showed up right away, but the ultrasound was problematic too—there was a hematoma and a threat of miscarriage. They just prescribed Utrogestan, and that's it! No follow-up ultrasounds or anything!
At the first ultrasound, based on my period, it should have been 6 weeks, but the ultrasound showed 3–4! I was in shock!
But I went for another ultrasound a week and a half later, and it showed 6–7 weeks. The embryo was 8 mm.
Now it's already 13 weeks, and everything has caught up.
But still, I'm thinking, could it have been late ovulation??

Good afternoon, girls! I'm in this situation: today is the 48th day of my cycle. Usually, my cycle is 33-35 days. The first day of my last period was 31st August. Ovulation should have been around 18th September (and I did have symptoms that matched). Just to mention, I'm already a mum twice over. My children are: a daughter aged 9 and a son who's 9 months old. Both were delivered by C-section. Four months after giving birth, my milk supply started to decrease, and a week before he turned 6 months, I had my first period. The first three cycles were like clockwork. We've always used the withdrawal method for contraception, and it's never let us down before))) We consciously tried for our son for half a year. And now—a delay. I do sometimes have delays when transitioning into autumn and summer. And I wouldn't be overthinking it now if it weren't for one thing: on the 9th and 10th of October, already during the delay, I had some pinpoint pain in the uterine area and a bit of pink discharge. I thought, "They're here!" But—no... I read about implantation bleeding and started wondering (I didn't have it in my previous pregnancies). All week from the 9th, I've been feeling nauseous, my blood pressure dropped (low blood pressure is my thing, especially when pregnant...), I've never measured basal temperature, but my body temperature in the evenings until Sunday was 37-37.4°C (with my little one, I had a temperature up to 37.4°C throughout the first trimester). Since Monday, everything's been fine. Today's test with a sensitivity of 12.5 came back negative... I'm wondering, could it be late ovulation or even double ovulation? Did I test too early if implantation was on the 9th-10th of October? Of course, I'd love another baby))) but I'm a bit scared because of my two C-sections. And my husband is practically tearing his hair out everywhere))) Today, after the test, he perked up a bit, but I, being the desperate one, got a bit down.

So, did your period not come at all when expected? Or did the pregnancy occur despite having a period?
