Maybe: Ovulating beyond day 16 may affect the quality of your egg( called brown egg), however, this is not an absolute. There may be an underlying cause for you to ovulate late. Please see your provider to sort this out. It usually can be fixed with treatment.

Maybe: The length of your menstrual cycle does not affect the quality of the eggs but the underlying condition that causes you to have longer cycles can at times affect the quality of the eggs. I would recommend to discuss it with your obgyn or fertility specialist.
