Vitamins/diet & period changes?

Hello all!
I know your diet can effect when you get your period/produce changes in your cycle...I am starting to get a little worried, though, because I never really thought that eating *BETTER* could delay my period...Could it?

I have been taking a women's multivitamin every day for the past month. My last period was November 10th, my cycles are 31-32 days long, and I'm quite positive I ovulated on November 24th. I didn't have sex up to/on my ovulation estimate date, but did have sex on the 26th of November and have been having sex consistently since. My SO and I use withdrawal and fertility awareness as our only form of contraception, though this is soon to change. My period is due TODAY according to my calendar and I have been feeling kind of PMS-ish on and off for the past week, and today I had some slight cramping when I woke up but it's since ceased...other than that I my period should be here :(

I'm really worried! Could me bettering my diet and taking a multivitamin consistently delay my period? I also got kind of sick the week of the 24th, don't know if that could mess anything up...it was nothing major though, just a very minor cold.

Thinking about going to the store in a while and picking up fresh parsley and some cheap vitamin C to try to make it come faster...any thoughts? I'm starting to get really scared!

Nope, woops! That's my average cycle length. Was looking at an online tracker I use. Usually 16-18 haha.

So if I'm counting correctly, you're 18 days past ovulation right now? I can understand why you're concerned, then. But you said it's possible you ovulated late, and it is possible to have a long luteal phase occasionally. So I'd say you've got a couple more days before you need to get too worried, since it doesn't sound like you had any Oops moments with your birth control methods.

Since you're 18 days past ovulation, a pregnancy test should be accurate, if you think it would be comforting.
