For those who temp and use OPK's, have you experienced a longer cycle length when you ovulated later than usual?

Question

opk's, have you experienced a longer cycle length when you ovulated later than usual?" /> Just wondering about your personal experiences, as I've read the luteal phase remains the same, give or take a few days, regardless of when you ovulate.

Answer

This is true otherwise you have what is called luteal phase defect.

Answer

Yes, if you ovulate late, you will have a longer cycle. The luteal phase (time from ovulation to period) is the part of the cycle that is the same for almost all women. It should be about 14 days, give or take a day or two. Women with a regular cycle ovulate around CD 14, which would give them a 28 day cycle. Women with a longer cycle may ovulate on CD 25, for example, and have a 39 day cycle. Women with a shorter cycle may ovulate on CD 10, for example, and have a 24 day cycle. The follicular phase (time from period to ovulation) is the part of the cycle that varies for a lot of women and causes different cycle lengths.
