Age and Length of Luteal Phase

Two years ago I was ovulating on Day 18 of a 27 day cycle. I am now 36 and have a 26 day cycle. Does that mean I am now ovulating on Day 17 as my luteal phase should stay the same as I age whilst my follicular phase decreases? I am trying to decipher my BBT tables for the last 2 months and it looks as if I could be ovulating either on Day 12 or Day 16 (the pattern is not yet clear). Am I right in thinking it's unlikely that my luteal phase has changed from 9 days two years ago to 14 days now?
Thank you

I have been insane about charting for many, many years. Lp should still stay the same. My cycle changes from time to time, but lp is consistant. Do you use OPKs to check o?
