Late Cycle

I was running a bit late in December.

I expected to ovulate somewhere around December 21st. Instead, I didn't ovulate until December 30th.

Not so bad. That was perfectly normal for me back when I had a uterus. I had usually two cycles a year that were either skipped or very late.

And of course these usually coincided with large shocks to my body like cross-country travel or illness. I figure the travel back east for the funeral and then the stomach flu probably threw my system a bit. Then the travel for the holidays didn't help.

So, I'm expecting my "period" later this week. I've got the breast tenderness right now, which is comforting to know that I pegged the ovulation correctly.
