Feeling very deflated, still no period

Hi Atomic

I've been so careful on the diet to make sure I reach my daily totals. It took 4 antibiotics to clear the UTI I recently had still feeling drained from it. I've been a nervous wreck for the last couple of weeks, a loved one is waiting on test results to see if cancer has returned after finding a new lump. I'm on cd 42 and no period, I've had pms type symptoms for 2 weeks.

Do you think any of those things could have resulted in delayed ovulation? I hadn't been tracking with opks so I dont know if I had a surge or not. Do you think I will eventually ovulate if I haven't already?

Most agree that antibiotics should not delay periods although some people disagree (you can read the debate about that here https://nicolejardim.com/antibiotics-effect-period/)

Far more likely is that the UTI plus the stress you're under would delay O.

I do think that you will probably ovulate still. Most people who are generally having regular cycles will have a long one occasionally and in most cases they will still release an egg in those cycles.

Thank you Atomic😊

Thank you for reassuring me yesterday, AF turned up this morning😊 I'm only 5 weeks on diet so I'm going to wait another cycle maintaining diet etc before starting ttc attempts. Hopefully this new cycle wont be just as long lol
