A member asked:

Does ovulating late mean it'll be a longer menstrual cycle?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See answer: The onset of one's menstrual cycle fairly reliably occurs in most women 12-16 days after ovulation. So, delayed ovulation often associated with a longer menstrual cycle that month. Absence of ovulation may well lead to a missed or irregular period.
