Late Ovulation

I don't, but a friend of mine does. She has three children and didn't have any help or problems.

Hi Brooke,

I agree with the advice "M" offered when desribing the book, "Taking Charge of Your Fertility". I also ovulate later in my cyle (I am usually at 21 days) and have successfully gotten pregnany by following the advice found in the book - coupled with an ovulation predictor kit. (my daughter is now five) I would recommend using a kit - especially since you already know approximately when your ovulation date is. I am actually trying to get pregnant with our second child right now. Good luck to you and have fun!

No need for a doc's help simply due to ovulating later in your cycle - an excellent book is Weschler's "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" where she addresses the wide variations among women's cycles and has excellent information and charts on charting your fertility to conceive a child or to avoid pregnancy (whichever is your focus). A must-have book to understand our awesome female bodies! :)

If you now know when you ovulate, you really shouldn't need a doctor's help. That's half the battle right there. My suggestion would be to get the ovulation predictor tests at the drug store and use them. If you're not already, I'd also suggest charting by taking your temperature every morning and writing it down to watch for when you ovulate. A great site for that is fertilityfriend.com. It is, by far, the most user-friendly site for fertility that I've found. I wish you much luck! :-)

Hi Brooke, I used a fertility monitor to chart my cycle and pinpoint peak fertility. It worked the first time (I am only a week or so late right now) and according to the monitor, I ovulate very late in a 28 day cycle... around day 22 or 23, so if that is when it happens... oh well. As long as you can conceive, who cares when it happens, right? Good luck! :)
