Can stress cause you not to ovulate?

[babymaker09]

hi there, i dont usually post - just watch quietly in the background....
To try and cut a long story short - my OH and I had decided that once our 2nd son was 18 months we would ttc number 3...he is now 18 months but for the last 3 weeks we have been fighting constantly because he suddenly decided he wasnt ready. Well now we have came to the comprimise of not trying not preventing for the time being as a sort of truce. (of course im trying like anything lol) The things is every month without fail i get ovulation pains for 2 days (anyone else get this? only me and a couple of my friends seem to) anyway this month, nothing I'm due to ovulate today and not a sausage. OPK's neg also...now really worried i might have fudged up my chances this month any advise ladies? x

Yeah, stress can cause delayed ovulation. Don't worry - it doesn't mean that it won't happen at all, just that it might happen later than normal. Keep doing the OPKs and looking for EWCM etc and hopefully you'll ov soon.
