Apps: These apps just predict the day you ovulate based on the information you input. Its just an approximation and is the same thing as counting cycle days like women used to do and still do. If you're ten days late check a pregnancy now as you may already be pregnant. For better prediction use ovulation prediction kits, which are found at most of the same stores you can buy pregnancy tests

Miscarriage 31.08. Last period 29.09. Now 8 days late. No symptoms for PMS or pregnancy. Negative hcg blood work 3 days ago and HPT this morning. Gyno says I ovulated ~ 11.10, period should come now. It's never been late. I worry something is wrong?
