Day 39 of my cycle… what is happening?! 😩

I’m usually a VERY consistent 26-day cycle girly, so this is super unusual for me.
I traveled in early June to take care of my parents and came back toward the end of the month. It was a pretty stressful time, and my July period was 7 days late. I took a pregnancy test (negative) and literally got my period the next day.
Now I’m on CD39 and still no period. 😭 I’m technically 13 days “late” based on my usual cycle, although Oura doesn’t consider me late because it didn’t confirm ovulation until CD27.
I basically haven’t been having sex because I’m not on birth control and definitely not trying to conceive, so pregnancy seems extremely unlikely. I’ve always been able to predict my cycle pretty accurately, so this whole thing is throwing me off.
What’s also weird is the temperature rise again today (screenshot attached). Oura is predicting my period will come later this week, but I’m confused by the late ovulation + now a much longer cycle.
Has anyone else had this happen after a stressful period/travel? Is this just a weird delayed-ovulation cycle, or could this be the beginning of perimenopause? I have my physical at the end of the month and definitely plan to bring it up then.
Would love to hear if anyone has experienced something similar!
