Dear Doc I posted a question to ask if you can shorten your cycle since mine is 40 days long. You said I might have to go for ovulation induction. I did do an ovulation test this month and I was ovulation around day 20. Is there anything else I can do and does is lessen my chances of falling pregnant?

If you are ovulating, there is nothing you can do to change your cycle length. You can try timing intercourse around ovulation to improve your chances. Best wishes
