A member asked:

Long cycles but always ovulate.. 14 day luteal phase and cycled not more than 40 days. tested hormones all normal how can i shorten my cycle?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why?: This is normal. Your eggs just take a little longer to mature. If you want a 28 day cycle you can get it with birth control pills patches or rings but when you stop them you will simply go back to your normal cycles.
