Short answer is who: knows but you probably should establish an ovulation chart using core body temperature as a guide. This is more accurate than going with the dates and assuming luteal phase accuracy. If you have already been keeping ovulation chart, then make sure you are "working hard" from day 11 to day 17 (3 days before 3 days after) to maximize contact of sperm with ovum. Hope this helps.

Keep body weigh down: Although premature death of the dominant follicle followed by replacement or follicular suppression are possible causes, the most common reason for long follicular phases in women is prolongation of the time from recruitment to emergence of the dominant follicle. This is most commonly seen in PCOS. You are ovulating and menstruating, so that is good. There is not much for you to do.
