What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy If Experiencing Symptoms And Delayed Periods?

Hello, my period is close to two weeks late. I got off Bcp's in may and have been getting my period every 37-40 days without being late. My husband and I are ttc and have tried on 9/12. I was due for my pd 9/17 still haven't gotten it. I believe i ovulated on 9/3 but incould be wrong, i was tracking cervical mucus. I took afew hpt's they're all negative. I feel some symptoms such as cramping, nausea, bloating, acne and occasional constipation. I really want to be pregnant, any possibility I still might be even with the negative home results? I'm going for labs on Monday 10/8 either way, I'm just anxious

1.I would advise you to have usg ovulation studybefore planning for pregnancy.
2. Ovulation is 14 days prior to the date of next period.your ovulation would be oon 23rd day or 25th day of your periods .....test the cervical mucus 2 days prior to it (From 21st day of your periods till 25th day
- You can use L.H. surge test to avoid confusion in observation of mucus.
3. When ovulation is predicted .. have unprotected sex from ( 5-6 days from the +ve L.H.surge test).
