Ovulating Late

[AKortiz12]

I had an ectopic in February so I may be paranoid but I have been reading some things about how ovulation late in the month may be bad. It seems I have gotten a positive OPK on CD 20 (2:03 pm & 8:02pm) and now a positive at 1:50 pm on CD 21. Is this abnormal?

Well it depends on how long your cycle is, the problem with ovulating late is the luteal phase being too short for the egg to implant before your menstration begins but if you have at least 10 days after before your AF would normally start it is concidered normal. If you have a short luteal phase then you might want to discuss it with your doctor.

I agree with ttc1soon - if you ovulated on day 21, then AF should arrive around day 35. It is not abnormal, I used to have cycles like this, even longer (up to 45 days) and got pregnant twice. As long as the phase after the ovulation is 14 days or longer, it is ok. (If it is longer than 18 days, it means you are pregnant )
