long follicular phase?

long follicular phase?

Hi...this is the first time I've posted here. I'm becoming frustrated because I've been trying to find the answer to this question online but I keep seeing conflicting information.
For the past 2 months I've been usinf a digital fertility monitor to pinpoint my ovulation. Last month my "peak" fertility day (ovulation day) was day 19; this month it was day 22. I've heard some say that this long of a follicular phase decreases chances of conception because the egg is "old" by the time it's released. Is this the case? If so, what should I do?
This is only my 6th month of trying to conceive so I don't think my doctor would take me seriously at this point. Thanks in advance for your help.

I should add that I do have longer cycles overall (30-38 days) and last month my luteal phase was 11 days.
