I just googled late ovulation and got this:
Member: When is ovulation considered too late? Is an 11-day luteal phase cause for concern?
Dr. Amos: Let's first talk about a "late" ovulation. Ovulation normally happens from CD 10 to CD 21. Ovulation that happens regularly after CD 21 is not considered normal. That does not mean you cannot get pregnant with late ovulation. Women get pregnant all the time even when they ovulate late. But your chances of getting pregnant are decreased significantly when you ovulate late. This is for several reasons:
- The lining of the uterus is too old for implantation.
- The egg is considered not as good as when ovulation happens earlier.
- When ovulation happens late you ovulate less often over time, further decreasing your chances of conceiving.
The corpus luteum phase is the time between ovulation and the next menstrual period. If it's often less than 12 days then there may be a problem and your doctor should do some further testing.
Not so promising news if I am indeed ovulating this late...
