Late ovulation/random cycle question

I have a 2.5 year old (conceived problem free with not much science involved!) and have now been TTC and temp charting for coming up to 5 months. My first 4 charts were identical : 29 day cycle with significant temp rise from around 97.4-6 to well over 98 on day 20. I think I therefore ovulate around day 19/20. I think this is quite late - should I be concerned? this cycle something weird has happened. I had my usual temp jump at day 20 then day 24and 25 had period cramps and light spotting. Day 26 my period has started full on. I find this really odd compared to the last 4 cycles. It also gives me a luteal phase of just 6 days this month?!

Should have said I am 34! Does anyone have any thoughts?

19/20 is pretty normal. I conceived DC1 on day 29, and I usually ovulate on day 20-24 without supplements. I have around a 9-10 day LP, and it never stopped me conceiving.

A 6 day LP is too short, but if it's just a one-off it is likely just one of those things. I had a much shorter LP last month by two days and I think it was because I took ibuprofen at ovulation time which can cause LUF (as I found out afterwards Hmm) which is where the follicle does not rupture, but the hormones carry on as normal. My temps post ovulation were really rocky so I think things just didn't go quite so well so AF came a bit early. Perhaps something similar happened to you, or you just didn't have a particularly strong ovulation.
