Late ovulation, pregnancy?

Question

Can you ovulate way late in your cycle and still get pregnant? I know that when ovulation is early that it can be harder to conceive, so I was wondering if it was the same for  very late ovulation. Thanks in advance!

Answer

It depends what that means for the length of your cycle. Your luteal phase is normally pretty stable (the time after ovulation and before your period) and lasts 10-14 days. Having a short luteal phase (less than 10 days) can make pregnancy harder because implantation can happen from day 7 to day 12 (post ovulation) so short luteal phase means less days for successful implantation. So if you ovulate on day 25 but have 35 day cycles you’re all good. If you ovulate on day 25 and have 28 day cycles it will be harder.
