Does Late Ovulation = Shorter LP?

Does a late ovulation mean you'll have a shorter LP or just a later period?

I'm ovulating super late this month - currently on CD19 and just getting +OPKs with no temp spike yet. My LP is on the shorter end of things: 10'ish days. If I ovulate tomorrow - should I have an even shorter LP or just a longer cycle?

I think it really depends on the person. I haven't been tracking very strictly up until I started using OPKs this last cycle, but as far as I can tell based on EWCM and so on, my luteal phase stays about the same, and my cycle just varies by a few days. I think,, but I'm not sure, that that's more common than late O leading to a shorter luteal phase.

Do you tend to have clockwork cycles, or do they differ by a couple days now and then?

I was like clockwork up until I had a MMC and D&C in October. Ever since then my cycle/ovulation has been off. I've been ovulating every month, just this month it was later than normal. I was at the latest, CD17 ovulation and earliest CD13 and then this month BAM, CD19 ovulation. Bodies are so weird. lol

They really are, aren't they? I'm going to guess your luteal phase will be the same as normal, but it's hard to say if you don't have a clear pattern.

Well, I do hope so! FX!
