21 Day Cycle Overview
Ovulation: Day 7

High Fertility: Day 28 | Next Period: Day 22

Is It Late, or Just Delayed?

If your cycle is normally strictly 21 days, a variation of 1-3 days is still medically considered normal due to stress, travel, or minor illnesses affecting the exact release of your egg (delayed ovulation). It is officially considered "late" once you pass Day 26 without a period.
