Nope-the time can vary a lot (usually within a week to 10 days of the normal menstrual period, though).

The average luteal phase (the time between ovulation and the beginning of the next cycle) is 14 days. However, not all women are average. (Honestly, how many women out there have the textbook 28 day cycle?) The luteal phase is shorter for some women and longer for others. Also, stress and other factors can potentially lengthen the luteal phase causing a delayed period.

No. All women are different. Whether you are trying to get pregnant or prevent pregnancy naturally, I highly suggest purchasing the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler.
This book will teach you how to "chart" and "track" your cycle to help optimize your chances of conceiving.
I can tell you from personal experience, I have been a paramedic for 10 years and when my husband and I began trying to have a baby ( 2 years and no luck), we purchased this book. I learned things about my body and my cycle that I had no clue about. And after following the methods from this book, we conceived within 6 months.
If you are having problems conceiving, you should also see your gynecologist to make sure that there aren't any underlying health conditions causing your problems.
Best of luck to you and I hope this information helps!

not necessarily, it can get delayed for months due to stress, tension, hormones etc. it's not always the case of pregnancy
