On what cycle day do you O?
| Fri, 09-19-2003 - 9:46am |
Hi-
I recently bought a Clearplan Fertility Monitor and am on cycle day 17. I am high fertility, but still have not hit "peak fertility". I have longer cycles (over 40 days long). Is it unusual that I would ovulate much later than cycle day 14?
Thanks for everyones help.

As I understand it, a luteal phase (time between O and AF) is rarely more than 15 days past ovulation. So if your cycles are 40 days, ovulations would be expected about day 25-28. If your luteal phasesa are longer than 18 days, it may indicate that you were pg at some point.
Good Luck! Best Wishes!!

With 40-day cycles, I would HIGHLY recommend charting your BBT. "Normal" cycles are typically 25-35 days... your 40-day cycle could be perfectly normal & ovulatory, or it could be a sign that you're not ovulating, and all you get after 40 days is anovulatory bleeding. Without a few corroborating BBT charts, it's impossible to tell; and the BBT chart can confirm O, which a fertility monitor does not do.
Good luck to you!
