An ovulation calendar makes sense only if you experience regular menstrual periods/cycles. In your case, you’ve missed your period for 2 months without being pregnant. Your cycle was disturbed (became irregular) and therefore, the ovulation calendar has no power of predictability. The bleeding on the 3rd of December was probably a period and it is another sign that you are not pregnant. You could be experiencing a functional ovarian cyst that delayed the period. Functional ovarian cysts usually exist for 2-3 months and after that, a new cycle begins. Perhaps this happened in your case.
