Question : Hello,
I track my period strictly, & it has been irregular for about 5 months, anywhere from 4-6 days late typically. I know I ovulated somewhere between January 30th & February 3rd. My fiancé is military, but was home from February 11th- 18th. It's my 6th day of being late for my period- is pregnancy a possibility, or no due to the fact that the 11th is a minimum of a week past the date of my ovulation?

Brief Answer:
Pregnancy is a possibility

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns about possibility of pregnancy.

Following is my reply:

1. Pregnancy is definitely possibility.

2. If the ovulation has occurred ate ( as you mention cycles are getting delayed from 5 months), ovulation could have occurred late around time of fiancees visit.

3. But it will be early to test for pregnancy. It is likely to come negative.

4. I suggest you wait for another week and test for pregnancy.

I hope your doubt is clarified. Let me know if you wish any other information.

Regards,
Dr. Soumya
