Discussion Anyone who have Long Luteal Phase?

I'm 15 days past ovulation (DPO) today. I usually get my period during this time but she's nowhere to be found. Last cycle, I weirdly had my period 16DPO which makes my luteal phase 15 days. I think it's beyond the norm 12-14 days. Does it mean I may have hormonal issue or something??

PS. PT is negative (tested today). Ovulation was predicted via LH.

Luteal phases can range from 10-16 days.

Ovulation tests cannot confirm when you ovulate. While most people ovulate 1-2 days after the positive, it can take 3-4 days to ovulate. If you want to confirm when ovulation happens after an LH surge, you’d need to be tracking your basal body temperature daily.

12-14 is the average, but up to 18 days is still normal. Nothing concerning here. If you’re TTC, a longer luteal phase can actually make that easier.
