How Can I Calculate The Next Periods And Ovulation Dates To Conceive ?

Hi, I am off birth control, sort of trying to conceive. Period is 3 days late, I have been brown spotting on and off with tinge of red since Tuesday (estimated period date) have taken two pregnancy tests and they are negative. Today I had diarrhea. My cycles have been normal but last month was the first time I was 2 days late and put it down to stress (moves house and had a bad month) but I've been fine this month. I don't know if flow will come. If it doesn't, when am I supposed to calculate my next period or ovulation date? Could I still be pregnant even though the tests came back negative?

Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

its difficult to calculate exactly the ovulation time, as it takes time for periods to regularize after stopping birth control pills.
Roughly in 28 day cycle he period occurs on 14th day of cycle. If the periods are longer or shorter, it occurs 14days before the expected next period.


In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Wishing you happy and healthy life

Take Care
