Either you ovulated and your period is late, OR you didn't ovulate although you think you did......IF you ovulated you WILL have your period. I get uterine pain and cramping much different to ovulation and still have a bleed, all be it , just a one day period. Anovulatory bleeding. It is close enough to the feeling of ovulation, just not quite the same. It has been going on for the last couple of years now. Perhaps that is what you are experiencing??? If your period is scant, then you may know wink.gif

I had this happen about 3 times as I went through peri. I'm now post. They are called Phantom Periods. You ovulate, get all the signs you are going to have a period (sore breasts, bloating, etc), but then no period. And the symptoms just go away. It's another sign of being in peri. It is a weird feeling though, and you keep thinking you are going to start your period, and then nothing. It's almost disappointing.

Hang in there!

thanks for the replies.
I've had phantom periods before,but those were the times when i didn't ovulate...this time i'm pretty sure i did ovulate,so didn't quite understand what was going on.
