So I think I O'd June 11th....DH & I BD 
AF is like 8 days late today...I took 3 tests at 10&11dpo - negative as far as I can tell..
We really weren't expecting to conceive and at the time I thought I was done ovulating so I had a bottle of wine with my dad on Father's day...but now I think I may be pregnant...will take another test on Sunday (15dpo).
Do you think I harmed my baby?

@mrstseluyu: You almost certainly didn't harm the baby. So many people drink before they know they're pregnant. I'm of the "drink til it's pink" philosophy (meaning I don't worry about cutting out alcohol until i have a positive test) and my kiddos are both healthy.
I'm confused by your post though. If you ovulated on June 11 then your period isn't 8 days late, right?
-
@My Only Sunshine: I dont know...I expected my period on the 15th. I didnt think I was ovulating. I dont do OPKs or temp or anything. Just use Ovia. So all I can think of is that maybe I did ovulate that week because still no AF. If I did ovulate on June 11 then I'm 12dpo. My last period was May 22-26.

No harm done!
-
@mrstseluyu: have you had a positive pregnancy test? If you O'd on the 11th, you're period probably isn't due until the 25th of June so you aren't late yet.
-
First i dont think at this point you would be sharing a blood connection so no you did not harm your potential baby.
second, assuming you have a 28-30 day cycle (you didnt say otherwise) you would only just be getting your period in the next day or so. I didnt get a
until 14dpo or at least when i suspected O. If no period by Sat/Sun I would test again

I got really drunk off of tequila for my husband's birthday bc we had been TTC for a while and I assumed that I wasn't pregnant that month. The next day I took a test for the hell of it and of course it turned up with two lines! I now have a healthy 8 week old, so no harm done! I wouldn't even worry about the wine at all if I were in your shoes.
-
@winniebee: My cycle is normally 25-27 days or so. I expected AF on June 15th.
-
@TrailRunner: Thanks that makes me feel better!
-
There is no baby to harm a week after ovulation. There's no blood connection for several weeks after conception.
-
@mrstseluyu: Even with a shorter 25-27 day cycle and a possible shorter LP, if you O'd and BD'd on June 11, I wouldn't expect AF or a positive test until this coming weekend.
-
@T.H.O.U.: I dont think you understand...my cycles are always 25/27 days. I am on day 33. If I did O on June 11th...that would be my last day of ovulation.
Originally I thought I ovulated a lot earlier, was done by June 11, and BD...expecting AF on June 15. Well AF didn't show. Its been over a week late -
@mrstseluyu: What I think @T.H.O.U.: is trying to say is that you have two scenarios here:
(1) Your period was due 8 days ago. You didn't ovulate on June 11th and your period is late, but your chances of being pregnant are extremely small. I think it's exceedingly rare to not have a positive pregnancy test by 22dpo (what you would be).
(2) You ovulated late and you are now 12dpo. Your period isn't late as you ovulated late. Assuming you have a 14 day luteal phase, your period would be due on Saturday.
You can't be 12dpo and your period be 8 days late, unless you are saying your luteal phase is 4 days.
Either way, agree with @yoursilverlining:
-
@LBee: Oh ok now this makes sense...sort of. So if I ovulated late then when should I expect my period?
This isnt making sense to me. I should have ovulated between June 2nd and June 7th...and Ovia said my period was due June 15th.
So I am late - 8 days. If I did in fact ovulate late...lets say I ovulated a week late...then when should I get my period? -
@mrstseluyu: You should get it 14 days later, assuming you have a 14 day luteal phase. So you aren't late yet
-- it's not abnormal to have a wonky cycle every now and again, though. I would just test this weekend and if it's still negative, chalk it up to bodies being crazy!ETA: Change in Ovia that you ovulated June 11th and it should update when your period is due. Also, I would maybe consider pinpointing when you are ovulating if you are TTC - it makes things a lot easier
-
@LBee: Thank you!
@mrstseluyu: Its pretty standard to have a 14 day leutal phase (the time between O and AF). Some women do have a shorter one (like 11-13 day) but that can often lead to issues sustaining a pregnancy. So, if you O'd on June 11 (not sure why you think you maybe O'd late) then you would expect AF 14 days later which would be June 25th. There is a chance you could get a positive test if you were pregnant around 12 DPO (or in that case today June 23) but thats not always reliable.
What makes you think you ovulated June 11th?
What was your CD1 date?
-
@T.H.O.U.: 9-10 day luetal phases are pretty common as well according to my RE. I had a 10 day LP when I got pregnant with my daughter. I ovulated on the 11th, and period is due today. I'm not sure how that makes day 33 for op if she said her cycles are short, since that many days haven't passed since June 11 though.
-
Even if you ARE pregnant, the baby won't be harmed! It is SO early. Don't worry. Good luck!!
-
@T.H.O.U.: My CD1 was May 22. My typical cycle is like 25 days. My Luthal phase is like 10-13 days.
until 14dpo or at least when i suspected O. If no period by Sat/Sun I would test again
-- it's not abnormal to have a wonky cycle every now and again, though. I would just test this weekend and if it's still negative, chalk it up to bodies being crazy!
