Going to discuss with midwife anyway.

Sounds like a hormone imbalance - see you dr and take a period diary with you. Likely it will all settle down soon.

If you are pregnant its probably best to go by how many days after ovulation that you are rather than days over period late you are - if that makes sense! If you ovulated late in this cycle you may...
