How do you know that you are O'ing around CD24? For a 30 day cycle - that is very late. Is your temperature rise sluggish? I ask because a temp rise can happen a few days after O and I am wondering whether you are actually O'ing earlier than CD24.
If you are O'ing on CD24 and have a 30 day cycle, then you need to see your doctor because it is possible that you have a luteal phase defect - the reason for which needs to be checked - a common reason is that the corpus luteum (the crater in your ovary left by the egg) is insufficient, meaning it does not produce enough progesterone or does not produce it for long enough.
The normal luteal phase is between 11 and 16 days - 14 is considered average but it is quite possible to concieve with a luteal phase shorter than this - mine used to be about 12 days. A luteal phase less than 11 days should be checked out because it can contribute to fertility problems.
