I'd think a blood test would be the only accurate way of being sure. But whether that would determine whether you ovulated now, or whether it would have to be your next cycle I'm not sure.
I'm on my first cycle of clomid, and had a BT test today (day 21) to see if I ovulated.
Seems a little funny though that your AF hasn't been late before and now it is. My cycles have generally always been a little whacky and long, so it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for me to be annovulatory iykwim. As for whether or not to worry ... I think it never hurts to see your GP if you're concerned.
Are you temping? Annovulatory cycles don't have a rise in temp after ovulation even if all the other signs are there that you ovulated (CM, position of cervix, positive OPK).
Yep, I second Just Me. The other thing that might have happened is that you might have ovulated later in this cycle so for most people the days between period and ovulation can be vary a little, but the luteal phase is usually consistent so you can then work out when your AF is due.
I don't temp or use opk's so I don't have any record of when I O'd by using those methods. I'm not sure how long my Luteal Phase is either...
My Sister has suggested that I think about seeing my doctor or see a gynecologist and have them run some tests for me so I can get an idea on what is happening.
I hope you get some answers. If you have trouble getting in to see them, I would suggest that you start temping now, before you see them. The more info you can give them, the more they will be able to help you.
Easiest and quickest way would be via blood tests, usually on about cycle day 21 to
Confirm if you have ovulated. This confirmed I had annovulatory cycles. I would go
To your GP and ask for some basic testing and/or a referral to an OBS/ Gyno. GL
