Trying to Get Pregnant

Newbie w/ a few questions

I'll start by saying that we are not actively TTC. We use FAM for BC so I do have a chart for reference. https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/254e2e

I stopped temping around CD 25 largely due to a moderately severe car accident I was in. I was just too sore and tired to temp for a few days and figured well, according to my chart I already O'd so it shouldn't matter too much, I just won't know for certain when my period will start. In general I have 36 day cycles so I was expecting my period this past Sunday which didn't happen. I got antsy and took a test Sunday (useless I know) and then again on Tuesday, both negative. Now today, I'm having quite a bit of EWCM which I almost never get.

So I guess I'm asking for some ideas about what is going on here. Is my period just late due to all the stress of the accident? What's up with the EWCM? Should I test again in the morning?

  • Ovulation could have been delayed from stress, your period could be late because of stress. It could be a number of different things your best bet would be to use condoms until AF comes and you are back on track with monitoring yourself. If you are that worried call you doctor and maybe they can tell you what is going on.
  • I would test again in the morning.

    You never know what might have happened with your chart after you stopped temping. You could have had your CHs moved since they were only dotted. That means that there was a conflict somewhere that two signs did not show you were fertile.

    If you don't received AF after 60 days see a doctor. I don't suggest stopping charting after you see CHs.

  • It is most likely due to your accident.  I have had my cycle stop twice in my life (for reasons other than pregnancy)....once was after a major trauma (in hospital for 4 months)--period didn't return for 6 months.  The other was this past spring after I had meningitis.  I was 9 days late.  I wasn't having sex so I knew it had to do with being so ill.
  • I'm sorry about your accident. I hope you are on the mend! It does seem from your chart that you did O on CD22. Usually, stress after ovulation can't delay your period.. your LP is your LP after ovulation. But maybe something crazy happened? Do you have any other charts or is this your first?

    with the EWCM its almost like you are gearing up to ovulate now?

  • Since your accident was after you O'd stress shouldn't cause your period to be late.  Could you have injured yourself in that region in the accident?   You may want to contact your doctor because of the accident, just to make sure everything is good.

  • Yeah it's my first chart so I don't have anything to compare it to unfortunately. And it wasn't my plan to stop temping but the timing of my car wreck made it tough. And perhaps important detail that I left out - I've been having some right side lower abdominal pain. I assumed it couldn't have been O-pain but now w/ the EWCM I'm not so sure. Lord this seems  complicated when it shouldn't be. Thanks for the advice ladies.

  • Good luck with everything. Hopefully either a BFP or AF show soon, not anything else that would need a doctor to diagnose.

  • this has happened to me before. I went 170 something days with no AF and i would have EWCM, and then nothing, then more EWCM, and then nothing. it was like my body was just waiting to O. It was due to stress (i had to move for a job and DH could not move with me till later due to his job transfer taking longer). As soon as the stress was gone, and i mean like the day we moved back in together, my AF came.
