A member asked:

My cycle=30-31days. ovulation predictors (clear blue digi) tell me i ovulate on day18. luteal phase=only 12days! are my chances of conceiving lower?

No: The diagnosis of luteal phase and luteal deficiency is complicated and a bit controversial these days; but a 12 day luteal phase would still be within normal. Furthermore, luteal-phase defect has not been associated with trouble conceiving. Good luck.

Estimated to ovulate cycle day 14. Is cycle day 10 and 11 too early to conceive? Would that give me the very best chance at conceiving?
