Late O-does this usually mean problems?

If someone usually ovulates later in their cycle - myself, around day 20, do they usually have more problems conceiving than someone who ovulates a more text book day 14?

Just wondering you've detected ov yet as you were a few days ahead of me if I remember correctly from last week. I am on cd 13 now and my fert. monitor detects NOTHING as far as ov goes and I still have no cm and dry as a bone (sorry, lol, tmi) but like I said, if I ov accordingly to my 32-34 day cycles, I should not ov until cd 21 but should start having some signs around cd 18-actual ov day.
We'll see, just checking in with you, have not seen you post this week on the board.
Keep in touch.

I have a short cycle, if I am still O'ing on cd14 I do not have a long enough Leutal Phase to allow implantation. Sorry Just wanted to clarify that. If you are O'ing on cd21 or so and have a 28 day cycle thats only an 8 day LP which might not be long enough for secure implantation (from what I am reading).
Sooo O'ing later does not necessarily just make you have a longer cycle. Just wanted that to be clear.
So, for example if you usually O on CD14 and have a 14 day LP, then you will have a 28 day cycle. But if you O late, say on CD20, then your LP will still be around 14 days and you will have a 34 day cycle (even if you typically have 28 day cycles)...O can sometimes be delayed due to illness, stress, or "just because" :)...or it might just be that is normal for you to O later than "average".
At least that is how I understand it! :)
Just didn't want the late O people to panic thinking they won't have a long enough LP!

I agree with you 100%! My ov day is always later than cd 14, as you explained, my cycles are 32-34 days so I do ov later, more like cd 19-21 and my lp is exactly the same, 14 days (I counted) so I think you're right, it is the same distance between the lp just your ov days can vary. Also, from what I have read, a cycle lasting anywhere from 28-40 is normal as long as each month you have af and it falls within that range each and every month. so far I am cd 13 and I have no signs of ov, no cm, cp is same (low and firm) and my Clearblue fert. monitor tells me I have low fertility so I should start to see changes within my body and the monitor early next week if I do indeed ov on or around cd 18-21.
Thanks to you all for clarifying more in depth.

>>>So for the original poster let me rephrase my previous post, if you ovulate on day 20 your cycles should be at least 30 days and any sooner could be an indication of a problem.
Sorry I was so vague in my original post, just thought I would clear things up a little. Thanks for pointing that out.

Once again, this is a just a wealth of knowledge..... Thank God!!!
That being said, my RE said that people conceive all the time with late ovulation. Right now I'm on Clomid to help me O earlier. Hope this helps. Since you had #2 in 2 cycles, it seems like your body can get pregnant, which is great news! It might just take awhile. Good luck to you.
