A member asked:

If your early dating ultrasound shows that my conception date is 18 days after my lmp, does that mean i ovulate late?

Dr. Joseph Accurso answered

Specializes in Radiology

You ovulate when: Your body decides it is right for you. That might be a day or 2 later than what is called average. But, if your cycle is a day or 2 more than the average of 28 days, that makes sense. Most women ovulate approximately 14 days before the first day of their next menses.
