A member asked:

My periods are coming later does mean my ovulation and fertility days are longer or start on differents my periods are now 28-29 they use to be 24-26?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a whole lot diff: The difference is really insignificant. This means your ovulation may be coming a day or two later than before.
