Answer
Dear Leslie

Women usually ovulate 14-16 days prior to their next menstruation.

In your case,you mentioned your periods were 30-31 days last 3 months. What was before?. Irregular cycles may point to anovulation. On the other hand, Delayed cycle for 5-6 days can be, although not sure, a sign of pregnancy especially if u had this brown bleeding which may mean the occurence of abortion. No 1 can give you a retrograde diagnosis. Home pregnancy tests are usually positive 10-14 days after your missed period.

If you are trying to conceive for more than 1 year in a regualr relationship, you and your partner may better seek medical examination.

Good Luck
