I am so confused about this dumb cycle. I O'd on CD31 (typically O around CD20) and now my LP is several days longer than normal. AF usually starts 13-14DPO, but now I'm 17DPO and not even a hint of spotting. Dollar Tree cheapie at 16DPO was negative.
So I did some googling and couldn't find any info about long LPs, just short ones. Most of what I saw said that an LP of 12-16 days is normal and avg is 14, and that though every woman is different, her LP is usually pretty consistent...
Any of you awesome, learned ladies know what else can cause a longer than normal LP? And does it have anything to do with Oing late this cycle?
I agree that this might be a possibility, FF tends to have trouble accurately predicting O when temps are jagged like yours and also with longer cycles. With only one temp up CD32, then dip right back down to the same temp as 31 on 33, you may have actually O'd on CD33 or so, not on CD31 as FF is saying. Also, I've found that longer LPs can happen at any time, my LP certainly hasn't stayed just the same in my 16+ months TTC. I used to have an 11 day LP, then all of a sudden jumped to a few cycles ranging from 16-18 day LPs, and finally have settled on a 15 day LP for the last handful of cycles.

iPad acting wonky. Didn't see all these responses before I commented...and now can't edit. :P
Thanks for the chart stalk, ladies! I suppose I'll just be patient and test in a couple days. Ugh.
