Question 1

hi my ovulation was late his month (cd25 instead of 16). i am 8 weeks pregnant now. does late ovulation increase chances for downs syndrome?

Accepted Answer

No: Late ovulation is not a risk factor for your child developing Down’s Syndrome. Congratulations on your pregnancy and be sure to see your OB provider ASAP to start your prenatal care if you have not already done so.

Question 2

can a seaside vacation be the cause of late ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, but there could be other reasons.  Give it a little longer than do a pregnancy test if you do not get your period.

Question 3

can late ovulation cause infertility?

Accepted Answer

Delayed ovulation: If you didn't ovulate on time or didn't ovulate at all, it doesn't mean you can't get pregnant.  Still, it makes it harder to plan when to conceive.  You can track and confirm ovulation with an ovulation predictor kit or talk to your doctor about medications that can help you to ovulate more consistently.

Question 4

can late ovulation cause later period ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The least variation in a cycle is the time from ovulation to the next period.  The corpus luteum which is the remainder of the follicle after ovulation will only make Progesterone for 2 weeks unless there is pregnancy hormone, hcg, to "rescue" it.  If you ovulate on day 14 you will have a 28 day cycle.  If you ovulate day 20 you will have a 34 day cycle.

Question 5

late ovulation cause late pregnant test?

Accepted Answer

Not sure I : Understand completely. If your period is late, then would take a pregnancy test.

Question 6

can early ultrasound show a late ovulation?

Accepted Answer

No: I'm not quite sure what you mean by "early" ultrasound. The only foolproof method to prove ovulation is the development of a pregnancy in that particular cycle. Otherwise, proof of ovulation is, at best, an educated guess.

Question 7

does late ovulation mean less chance for pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No: As long as you are sexually active during the time you are fertile (starting about 6 days before ovulation until 24 hours after ovulation) your chance for conception would not be affected by the specific timing of your ovulation.

Question 8

is there enough time to conceive with a late ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Sure: Sperm live in the reproductive tract for 3-4 days and up to 10+ days.  So even if you ovulated late, you can have a chance.  Good luck.

Question 9

i am having late ovulation and i want to conceive what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Sperm: needs to be deposited inside the vagina 5 days before the ovulation.

Question 10

i am having late ovulation and i want to get pregnant what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Late sex: Many women have longer cycles which means they ovulate later. This does not interfere with fertility. It simply means that the most fertile time is later. If the interval from ovulation to the start of your period is short however that can mean a luteal phase defect which can cause fertility problems. This is very treatable. See your doctor to look into this.
