AF late... not pregnant... why?

I agree

My cycle is always 33-34 days long and AF is 8 days. My last AF started on the 23rd of September and was a no show on the 25th of October so i am now 9 days late. I started taking EPO, Flaxseed oil, Vit D and L-arg in October, would any of this cause me to lengthen my cycle? I stopped taking the L-arg because of this, but still no AF. Also i have done 2 pregnancy tests and both were negative. Because i have been charting my O, we have had unprotected sex, but nowhere near O, usually just a couple of days before AF is due. Its annoying now because everything was like clockwork before this happened, now i will probably only have 1 cycle to chart before ttc in December.

How certain are you of your O date?? The usual reason why one would have a late AF is because you ovulated late. The other usual reason is because of a chemical pg - was your AF normal or was it shorter/longer lighter/heavier than normal?? Usually one would have a BFP, but sometimes not. Can you post a chart??

To echo everyone's answers, people are finding that flaxseed and l-arg are really screwing up their cycles. Some have also said EPO made their cycles different too altho overall I have seen l-arg to be the worst offender, then the flax, with EPO a distant third. For now I am recommending a combo of EPO and fish oil for the blue swayers because it seems to work the most reliably with the least amount of messing up of the cycle.

Thanks Atomic, my cycles were so predictable and constantly the same before i started taking any of the supps. I think i will still drop the l-arg from my sway but keep EPO and add in fish oil.

Yea, I dropped flaxseed oil and just take EPO and fish oil now. I'm not doing much other than taking a good prenatal and green supplements and also Fertilaid for Women, but that all really sways blue. My cycle got really long or short with various other boy supps during the past 1.5 years of swaying, so you have to watch and kind of do a trial and error thing (this is if you have the time to plan).
