A difference in terms of egg quality, I guess. I have no answer for you, but this is an interesting thought. I would wonder about the quality of the " older " uterine lining rather than the egg quality, simply because our eggs are there for a long time (since birth), and only the one is becoming mature right then...in the course of a lifetime, what difference does a few days make? But then, I'm not speaking from any real knowledge here; just blabbing, really. Do you have longer cycles, or do you just ovulate later within the 28 (or so) days? -G in Tempe, AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2002 Report Share Posted April 25, 2002 Thanks for the input, . I have thought about the OPK idea. I do know I ovulate because I have been charting for over 3 years, and have always had long cycles. I have only ever had one annovulatory cycle since charting, during a month I was training hard and ran a marathon. I had a long cycle post-septoplasty, but still ov'd. I guess i am just concerned that a longer than normal ovulation(for me) may not produce quality eggs for successful preg. And also that the quality of mucous since my surgery hasn't been all that great compared to usual. I may break down for an OPK though. Thanks!
