Stress delay question during tww

[Chai_w]

Hey ladies,

Was wondering how delayed you've all been on your cycles in the past due to stress. I can't recall the last time stress really made any impact on my cycle.

I knew I was going to be a bit late this month because I had a super stressful week last week (April 18-22), but I also very likely hit my fertile window too this month, which makes my tww more complicated to determine.

OH and I dtd plenty this month to cover a few different fertile windows depending on how long my cycle will be (would have been fxd). I'm having a few minor symptoms of PMS/early pregnancy but can't decide which side it'll fall towards since I'm not sure when to expect the witch.

Thank you in advanced for any help you are able to provide

For me stress tends to impact the first half of my cycle, but not the second. I have high prolactin anyway which is caused by stress and delays ovulation though but apparently it's common for it to happen that way.

The stress was at the second half of the cycle, per my average cycle length I'm a day late today. Had a bfn yesterday but if my cycle was delayed I'd have tested too early...hmm
