If you ovulate on Day 16, do you have to get a period 14 days later or could it possibly be longer than that? I know I ovulated before Day 23 because I had a blood test, but I'm on Day 34 and no period. Any ideas? I will probably take a test tomorrow.

Hi!
Your LP (luteal phase) which is the time from ovulation to your period can be anything from 10 to 16 days. 10 is on the low side and ideally it'd be 12-16 days. It varies from woman to woman but whatever yours is, it'll normally be the same every month.
Hope that helps...and that you get the result you're hoping for ! xxxxxx

Thank you. That helps a lot.

if u dont get ur period by 18 days past ovulation..ur very likely to be pregnant! good luck if thats what u want!! xxx

Thank you. Yes, I do hope so, I've been trying for 2 years!

Ok, I just did a test (couldn't resist!) and I see a faint line! Only problem is I just looked at the box and the tests expired last month. Could it be a false positive?? *so scared*

ooooooooooooooo........doubt its a false posotive!![] me thinks u r pregnant !! yay!!

i say grab urself another test and do it first thing in the morning..if u gotta line doing it now and ur not sure..buy one thats in date and do it tomorrow morning for a clear cut answer!! but defo looking good for u!!! as a line is a line..so by that test u r pregnant.. and i doubt one month out of date makes that much difference..but to be sure..buy some more test (s) clearblue is the best in my opinion!!!

Ok, I will do that! []

Ooooh very exciting![]

Good luck...let us know how it goes with the next test!

I'd be at Tesco right now buying a test (one with 2 in a box) so I could do one right now & one in the morning - I'm terrible when it comes to waiting, I just can't do it! - Good Luck! []
