LYnn,
There is a mixed reaction to late ovulation. Remember our bodies are pretty clever (I know you're not thinking that at the moment )
I havae spoken to a number of obs who deny there is an issue with late ovulation and over mature eggs. Many many women naturally ovulate later in their cycle and are happily mothers to healthy little people. I personally ovulate around cd16-18 naturally. On clomid I ovulate later as you know. I conceived my last angel baby on cd22 and she was a very healthy baby who as you know died due to other causes completely unrelated to ovulation times.

The other issue is your Luteal Phase. The time after ovulation. It is thought the LP should be at least 12 days long in order for the progesterone levels to be high enough to sustain pregnancy. As you know the ovaries are what produces the progesterone in early pregnancy so this needs to be maintained in order for pregnancy to be maintained. A LP of 10 days or less can make it more difficult to maintain pregnancy. I say can because some women will be fine with a 10 day lp it will depend on when implantation occured. If implanatation occurs around 5 days post ovulation there is a good chance that the pregnancy can be maintained. If you implant at 8 days after ovulation it could be a bit tricky. Each pregnancy will implant at a different time. Some pregnancy's will implant early and some late. No woman has a particular time that she implants it will differ with each pregnancy. Generally it's thought tath most implantations occur between 5-8 days after ovulation. Althoght some will be a little later and some earlier.

One of the things that is not uncommon to happen is that a woman will have a shortened LP after birthing. It can take a few cycles to get that back on track. Vitamin b6 and vitex are natural remedies for this (though they didn't help me at all )

Women with shortened LP have a higher incidence of early miscarriages or chemical pregnancies.

Is tomorrow your appointment LYnn??? I hope that you can get some answers. REmember that we ALL have annovulatory cycles from time to time also. Even on clomid that can happen. :hugs: :hugs:
