Question 1

does a late period mean late ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Ovulation: A longer menstrual cycle could mean a longer follicular phase (the time before ovulation) this is variable although usually about 14 days. The luteal phase is the days after ovulation which is constant 12-14 days. It could also indicate that you are not ovulating.

Question 2

does a late period also mean late ovulation next time?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: The cycles can vary in length.  While most women will have cycles about 28 to 30 days in length, normal cycles can vary between 21 and 36 days from start to start.  If you cycles are in this range, even if they vary a bit from month to month, you would be considered within the normal range.

Question 3

can a late period also mean late ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: A late period either means late ovulation or no ovulation.  If you count back 2 weeks from the first day of the period this is when you probably ovulated.

Question 4

does really late ovulation mean really late period?

Accepted Answer

Usually : One should expect a period about 2 weeks after ovulation  so when you ovulate late, the next period is likely going to be late. This is not a hard and fast rule since the luteal phase (the last half of the cycle) can vary in length.

Question 5

can late ovulation cause late period ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The time from ovulation to the next period is usually 12-14 days.  This is the most reliable part of the cycle.  The time before ovulation can be shorter or longer causing the variability in length of cycle.

Question 6

can late ovulation cause late period next time?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The period will consistently come about two weeks after ovulation, so if ovulation is late the period will be late.

Question 7

does late ovulation mean late periods?

Accepted Answer

It should ...: The 2nd half of the cycle (luteal phase) starts with ovulation and ends with a period, or goes on into pregnancy. Most luteal phases should be 13-14 days. The most accurate ways of telling the length are to use an ovulation predictor kit, or ultrasound monitoring if seeing a fertility md (rei). If you have a short luteal phase or long cycles (35-40 days or more) get checked by rei to find out why.

Accepted Answer

With negative: pregnancy, and no period, likely ovulation did not 
occur, if you had ovulated the period would start 14 days later if not pregnant.  Measure of day 21 progesterones to document likely ovulations

Question 9

can late ovulation cause your period to be light?

Accepted Answer

Shouldn't: The nature of the periods can vary with time and from cycle to cycle.  The timing of ovulation in a specific cycle is not likely to affect the amount of bleeding you experience.

Question 10

what might lead to a late period when you ovulate at a normal time?

Accepted Answer
