Anyone have a late period a after a pelvic exam?

Had my first PAP smear/pelvic exam a few weeks ago. Have yet to hear anything back about the results. It's a military doctor so the results could take up to a month (but a friend told me hers took 5 weeks). I experienced an extreme amount of pain during the exam and didn't get an explanation in return. Now it's been 35 days since my last period... I'm usually between 27-31 days. Taken a couple HPTs (all negative) and I don't feel like I'm going to start yet... I have a history of chemical pregnancies (5 since July 2010).

I'm wondering if what she did during the exam (when it hurt) could have delayed my cycle this month? Anyone experienced this?? Thanks!

Hey! Have u been pretty stressed about the whole thing (or anything). Stress (without us even realizing) can delay ovulation! You MAY have ovulated later than usual and thereby, your period will also come in later - than usual!

To understand your body and reproductive health better, get your hands on this book Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler.

She explains Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) and dare I say, it's fantastic! Has worked great for me! It enables me to know just where I am in my cycle, identify fertile days, know when to expect period. Too good, I say!

I actually haven't been this RELAXED in a long time. I watch my cycles/body carefully and I know when I ovulated. It's now been 40 days since my last period... I took another test last night and it was negative. I went to my doctor the other day and she said if I don't start it within the next couple of weeks to call & she'll schedule me a blood test. I have been having cramping today though so I'm hoping to start soon.
