Late ovulation with a cycle of 28 days

According to medical terminology, late ovulation with a cycle of 28 days is considered the exit of a mature egg into the abdominal cavity after 18 days. Normally, this should be observed exactly in the middle of the menstrual cycle, i.e. approximately for 14 day.

The causes of late ovulation are quite numerous, and not always physicians after the conducted studies reliably manage to determine exactly what caused the violation. Let's try to name the main ones.

Because of what can ovulation occur later than the due date?

To begin with, it must be said that in order to maintain that a woman has this process with some delay, it is necessary to observe at least 3 consecutive cycles. Single cases of delayed ovulation are possible in almost every, even absolutely healthy woman.

Talking about why in a woman's body there is late ovulation, doctors usually call the following factors:

• strong overstrain, stressful situations, poor environmental conditions;
• diseases of the reproductive system;
• disruption of the hormonal system;
• premenopausal period;
• the effect of having abortions in the past;
• period after childbirth.

How is late ovulation diagnosed?

In order to determine whether ovulation in a particular woman can be late, the patient's assumptions alone are not enough. In such cases, doctors prescribe an ultrasound examination. It is this method with high accuracy allows you to determine the time of release of the egg from the follicle. In this case, a woman needs to undergo this examination almost every 2-3 days, starting from the 12-13 day of the cycle.

Suppose that the fact that a girl with a cycle of 28 days late ovulation, helps the analysis of blood for luteinizing hormone. The two methods listed above are conducted exclusively with the participation of physicians. However, the woman herself can determine the approximate time of ovulation. To do this, it is enough to use special test strips, which are sold in each pharmacy.
