Question 1

i am 18 days past ovulation and no period and no symptoms of being pregnant? my period was supposed to come on dec. 2nd 35 days regular cycles

Accepted Answer

Late for period: Eighteen days late for a period with 35 day regular cycles is not unusual.  Ovulation takes place 14 days before a period, even with 35 day cycles, so Dec. 2 is only about 14 days from your ovulation.  If no period in 7-10 days, get a serum HCG test from your provider to see if you are pregnant. "18 days past ovulation" would be day 39, on a 35 day cycle, so that would be December 6 or 7.

Question 2

i ovulated on saturday night, and my period started yesterday (thursday) so i got my period 5 days post ovulation. why would this happen?

Accepted Answer

Short luteal phase: the luteal phase is the time from ovulation to the onset of your menses and average is 12-16 days. your recent cycle was short.  the ovary produced low progesterone during that cycle.  there are many causes for this and if you monitor your cycle and find that there is a consistent pattern, I recommend that you consult your gynecologist.

Question 3

cycle usually 21-28 days. i am on cycle day 30(20 days post ovulation), had spotting on cycle day 20, have had 2 negative tests but still no period ?

Accepted Answer

Wait 10-14 days and: repeat the test.  You might get your period by then, or if not maybe the test is then positive.  If still no period and no positive tests, either wait another 2 weeks or see a doctor for more detailed testing to be done, usually a blood test.

Question 4

is it normal to start feeling little cramps 4 days before period? its 11 days post ovulation and i am feeling cramps in ovaries and cervix a little bit?

Accepted Answer

Ovarian cramps ?'s: At "11 days after ovulation" , a drop in estrogen may occur leading to cramps, indicating that menstruation is about to occur. If pregnancy is possible, and your period does not begin at expected time, obtain a serum HCG test to be certain.

Question 5

my last period was september 11th im currently on cycle day 33 of a usual 28 day cycle. trying to conceive, i noted a positive ovulation on sept 30th making me today 14 days post ovulation. i have had some spotting 4 days and neg tests . advice plz?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy tests?: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by foods, herbs, common illnesses, sexually transmitted diseases, or medications. A correctly done urine test gives a reliable result by 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have happened) or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon.

Question 6

i am 16 days post ovulation. i took a pregnancy test this morning and it was negative. i have no pms sysmptoms like i normally would before a period. the only symptoms i have had this month were for 5 days after ovulation. severe bloating, cramping, dizzi

Accepted Answer

After missed period: Conception, as defined by the generation of a fertilized ovum, occurs within day or so of the sex. However, it takes about two weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG to produce a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 7

how many days past ovulation should your period arrive?

Accepted Answer

About 2 weeks: A woman usually ovulated day 10-16 and two weeks after ovulation she will experience her menses.

Question 8

im having ovulation type pains/ light cramping at 8 days past ovulation, period due in 6 days, could this be implantationunprotected sex 11 days ago?

Accepted Answer

Possible: It can be implantation pain. Do you want to make sure ? You take a pregnancy test 3 weeks after the unprotected sex.

Question 9

i'm 7 days past ovulation and i'm having period like cramping i usually don't get cramping til a day before my period?

Accepted Answer

Cramps: This cramping pain could be related to a number of factors.  If your menstrual periods are irregular it is possible that this is ovulation (it it is ovulation then your period will start in about 2 weeks).  It is most likely an ovarian cyst: known as a corpus luteum  there are other possibilities.  Consider seeing your physician to determine cause.

Question 10

Possibly yes: From your symptoms it sounds like you may potentially be pregnant. If your pregnancy test is negative today try repeating it again tomorrow.
