1 Day Late

My periods are quite regular. I have been tracking them for 11 months. One time right as the hottest weather period ended and it cooled down significantly my period shifted. I took a pregnancy test 4 days ago and it tested negative. I hope this is not another shift. It can be a real downer when you are TTC because missed periods are the earmarks you look for. I hope this is the real deal.

Sigh. Have you been charting BBT? If not, you haven't been "tracking" anything.

Even people with incredibly "regular" cycles have variations from month to month.

How do you track?

I mark the day it begins and the day it ends. I also mark the days when I feel like I am ovulating which is usually around 14-16 days after and it is almost always on time. I looked at my calendar down to 11 months back when I started marking it down and the only time it changed is when the weather went from extremely hot to cool. I have only been TTC since last month though. I am sure it is unusual for most women to get a home run the first time.

I am able to tell when I am ovulating by the color and consistency of my cervical mucus. I also tend to get cramps when I am ovulating. But it is primarily mucus that tells me when.
