Is ovulating late bad?

[SLH]

If the normal ovulation is CD14, does this mean that ovulating later is bad? I always ovulate anywhere from CD16-CD19, and am worried. Am I ovulating too late every month to have a chance?

My other concern is that I never ovulate on the same day. Is it important to ovulate on the same day every cycle, or is it okay for it to be fluctuate?

Thank You!

It's not bad!! That's about when I ovulate! and that's not late either! The 14 day is actually not the norm in women ttc. Now 25-35 days is late. and only because the lining of your uterus gets "old" and becomes less "nutritional" for a sticky bean! but it is still possible to become pregnant!!!

That's not bad at all! Most women ovulate around that time anyways, not on CD14. You can still conceive if you ovulate on CD50!! It's also very normal to ovulate on different cycle days. Most women do, it's actually pretty uncommon to ovulate the same day each cycle. You really should only worry about your LP and if it's shorter than 10 days. Don't worry about it xx

it doesnt really matter what day you ovulate on, what does matter is that the luteal phase....the days AFTER ovulation to your AF are at least 10!! if they arent 10 or more...if you do get preggers then implantation is hard. Less than 10 is normally classed as a luteal phase defect. if you have less than 10 try taking B vits to stretch it out a few days and if its still less see the doc, might need progesterone. x

No it's not bad at all, as long as you ovulate it doesn't really matter when. For some women it can be confusing because they can never predict ovulation but it doesn't affect your chance of conceiving at all.

I have pcos and before being on clomid I was ovulating as late as cd 37. My fertility dr said that not only was I having less chance of conceiving as my cycles were so long, but also the egg quality can be effected if you ovulate that late. It doesn't mean you won't get pregnant with late ovulation just what I was told and was the reason I was put on clomid. Good luck

My cycles are not same each..its acutally frustrating...I had a 43 day cycle past, and to me I get that since I had my first son, but its getting worse. Used to be every 35 days Id get my period, now its from 31-43...hmmmm. I track my cycles, but I have only recently went back to BBT...and that in itself is upsetting cus I actually dont know my lp...like I do from cm and cp but thats it since December 2009

Ovulating later than day 14 is not necessarily bad. In fact, ovulating at any time is fine as long as the luteal phase of your cycle is at least ten days long. Having a luteal phase of at least ten days will give the fertilized egg enough time to implant in the uterus. Good luck! xx

Thank you everyone. I feel better knowing that I am very concerned about my luteal phase because it was at 10 days for 2 cycles that I started charting, and my last cycle it was 11 days. This is not a good luteal phase. It should be longer and the vitamin B complex I was taking didn't work. In fact, the month after I stopped using it my luteal phase increased by a day. I still don't think that a luteal phase of 10-11 days is long enough for implantation to happen.

10 is borderline, it's not good but it's not bad. Anything below 10 is bad. I think you're fine Perhaps progesterone cream would help? xx

Though it can take a longer or shorter period of time, the standard time it takes for an egg to implant is 7 to 10 days. Also, successful implantation can occur if you're at the very beginning of your period. Occasionally, it can take up to 14 days for an egg to implant, but that is less likely.

Like taylorxx said, if you are worried about it, there are definitely ways to increase your LP, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to look into what you can do to increase your chances!

I ovulate usually between CD18-21...and I've had a successful pregnancy with my son! A 28 day cycle(and ovulating on CD14) is actually NOT necessarily the norm! Every woman is different and that's why they say a "normal" cycle length can be anywhere from 21-35 days in length. So don't worry!
