  I would call your OB if you are concerned. I've never had what you are discussing, and there is no way for us to know what is going on. It's possible you just had a fluke cycle. I had a fluke cycle the month before I started TTC. I was late 3 weeks and no explanation. Like a lot of ladies say here, you're regular until you're not. I recommend reading taking charge of your fertility, grabbing a BBT thermometer, and charting your temp with an app like fertility friend. This will help you confirm and be certain when you O'd and make sure you don't have an LP defect.

  Married to DH 10/6/12

  TTC since 5/14

  Unexplained with (controlled) hypothyroidism and suspected ovulatory dysfunction (but, I do ovulate on my own)

  Clomid 50 mg 3/15 (unmonitored) - BFN

  Clomid 50 mg + metformin 4/15 (unmonitored) - BFN 

  First RE appt. 5/15; Natural cycle 5/15 monitored with 2 mature follicles and Pregnyl Trigger (full dose) + prometrium - BFN

  6/15 HSG - clear tubes & normal uterus; great PCT test results

  TI - 100 mg Clomid + prometrium (AM & PM) + vaginal estrace (AM & PM) 6-7/15 (monitored) --> no additional response and thinned lining - BFN

  TI - Injectables (follistim + Gonal-F, Ganirelix, & 1/2 dose Pregnyl) + prometrium (AM & PM) 9/15 --> 3-7 mature follicles (3 definites and 4+ that could have matured due to trigger) @ O -->BFN + 5 large cysts

  BC for 2 weeks due to cysts
  

  TI - Injectables (Gonal-F, Ganirelix & full dose Pregnyl) + prometrium (AM & PM) 10/15 --> 1 mature follicle --> BFN 

  TI - Last attempt at injectables (Gonal-F, Ganirelix & 1/2 dose Pregnyl) + crinone (AM only) + vaginal estrace (AM & PM) 11/15 --> 3-4 mature follicles --> BFP!! 11/27/15 @ 13dpo (shockingly, actually waited until then to test)

  
  

  Beta #1 @ 16dpo (11/30/15) = 1,075

  Beta #2 @ 19dpo (12/3/15) = 3,150

  One baby: Saw heartbeat @ 5w5d (114 bpm; baby measuring 2.3mm)

  Hi,
  It can take a healthy couple up to a year to get pregnant. You did not mention if either you or your husband have any fertility issues or if you have been seeing a doctor/specialist.
  The trying to get pregnant board is a great place with lots of resources that can help. Are you charting your cycles or temping so you can confirm when you ovulated? Like the PP mentioned, charting and temping will help. You may have had an anovulatory cycle or ovulated late. If it has been 60 days, you can visit your doctor to receive meds to jumpstart your cycle.
  Unfortunately, "early pregnancy symptoms" are identical to PMS, so for your sanity we do not recommend symptom spotting.
  Good luck!
