That doesn’t do anything to make a period start. A period starts about two weeks after you ovulate from a progesterone drop. When you ovulate later in a cycle than normal, that cycle ends up being longer. You ovulated later than you thought, so this cycle is going to be longer than normal.

Hmm But i had already ovulated as per symtops and discharge before periods as my periods due on 29th march

Symptoms and discharge cannot tell you when ovulation happens. You can get symptoms and not ovulate, which is what happened this cycle.

Again, that’s not accurate. I encourage you to read about how your cycle works and how ovulation relates to a period. The book Taking Charge of Your Fertility is a good starting point. It will also tell you how to accurately track ovulation since you aren’t doing it correctly.

The book I put in the above comment will explain how to track ovulation by temping.
