I have longish cycles (O on CD 20 - 25) with normal LP. Is there anything I can do to shorten my cycles?

Personally I wouldn't try to shorten my cycles. They're that length for a reason. I O around CD20-21 too.

I agree with @LindsayInNY: if you O consistently, I think it's just the card you are dealt. Once you start trying things to shorten it you risk throwing your O off. I have long cycles too (O CD 20 - 24, so I know how irritating!)

I don't think there's much you can do, short of taking fertility drugs. I ovulate really late (CD 30-33) and I know it's super annoying. My dr did some blood tests and nothing came back abnormal. She said that if it's consistent, then it's usually fine.
FWIW, I conceived on CD 31 and I have a healthy 2.5 month old. I hated the long cycles when we were TTC though.

Thanks guys. It makes me feel better to know that I can get pregnant with a long cycle. It just drives me crazy that I have less chances to get pregnant.
