I'm so confused/worried!!

I'm 23 yrs old. I had a rough 2009. In late July 09 I stopped taking birth control to ttc with my fiancee. My last period was late in July and I got pregnant rite away. I found out I was pregnant Aug 31 and was sooooo happy and surprised. (I had been told I may have fertility problems in the past due to a severe infection that caused scarring). The happiness soon turned to fear because before I found out I was pregnant I had my wisdom teeth pulled. I had no idea I would get pregnant rite away AND I took multiple preg tests before the procedure to be safe and they all came out negative. I found out that the high dosages of a preg category x drug the oral surgeon gave me would cause severe birth defects. I made the horrible decision of going through with an early abortion by the pill  in september. It haunts me everyday..but the doctor told me the pregnancy would not have survived if i went along with it and it would be harder to miscarry if i was further along..so I made the tough decision. Soon after the horrible experience my fiancee and I agreed to try again. But I waited october, nov, dec, jan , feb, march to make sure my body was ready and healthy. During this time I cut out all alcohol and kept track of my cycles. They were exact each month (31 days). So last month we finally ttc..however we didn't get pregnant and my period was oddly 10 days late. I even took a blood test and it showed i was definatley not pregnant. Now this month I'm confused because 14 days after my period began late I noticed some light spotting after sex. Am I not ovulating normally? Why was my last period so late? We are having sex on my ovulation days and doing everything we can to get pregnant I'm just so worried my body is suddenly not fertile :( please some helpful info

Thank you. I am going to take your advice and call the doctor's office first thing in the morning..I agree that it may be the stress of trying to get pregnant. I think waiting and anticipating all those months to try again has made me so stressed out about getting pregnant. I am going to try to stay postive...like the docor's said I was able to get pregnant easily before so I should be able to concieve with time again. But I also think going to the doctor's is a good idea to be on the safe side. thnx again for your advise!

You should go to a gynecologist to get an ultrasound and see if everything is normal with your overies.. Some women get late periods due to policystic cysts in the overies. Not that, that is your case. It could also be psychological. Some times due to too much thinking and planning that also causes our period to be delayed.. Best thing for you to do is just go to your gynecologist and she will give you the benefit of the doubt. Much luck to you..
