Ovulation problem: Lengthening of the menstrual cycles is generally associated with ovulatory dysfunction due to abnormal hormonal signals between the brain and the ovaries. There could be a whole host of conditions causing this but polycystic ovarian syndrome or excessive weight are tow common causes.
