late period???

[tiff27]

Hi! My last period was Jan 26th and my cycles on average are about 31 days. I think I ovulated on the 12 and had sex on the 7th so I pretty sure I'm not pregnant. I started exercising and doing weight watchers over a month ago! My question is could my period be late because of exercising and dieting? Also is this something I should be worried about 5 days after I ovulated in Jan and Feb I started spotting for a couple of days and then nothing, I have never done that before!!Thanks

I think you should take a pregnancy test.  You are most fertile BEFORE you O, not the day of.  Sperm can live for up to 5 days so if you Oed on the 12th and had sex on the 7th then you may have been having sex during your most fertile days.  Yes, starting a new diet can interfer with your cycle, but the fact that you saw spotting may mean that you are pregnant.  Take a test so you know for certain.  Best of luck to you!

I think greenpixie is right on the money with her advice. Especially if you ovulated a bit later than you estimate. Pregnancy is a real possibility here and you should test to make sure. If negative, then make an appt. to see your doctor to make sure that the diet you are on is safe, given the missed period, maybe you are overdoing it?? Just best to be safe than sorry. And a doc being involved in a weight loss program is always recommended.
All the best, and let us know what happens please..

Well I took a test to day and I got a BFP++. I'm kinda in shock because My husband and I wanted to try in May, but I guess we are getting an early surprise.. This will be my third child and we are done after this. I guess everyone is right it only takes one time because we only had sex on the 7th and I think I ovulated on the 12 so who knows. I'm excited.. So much for my diet Ha Ha

LOL sounds like my story! I had just bought my slim fasts and ready to start my diet and excerising, then didn't start my period. I figured I would wait on the diet because that can delay it longer. Well I went 5 days and nothing and that just dosent happen to me! Tested and BFP!!! Congrats to you and your family! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!
