Dear student 
Ovulation would occur at 26th day.
You can calculate by = no of days in menstrual cycle - 14 = 40 - 14 =26
Last 14 days of secretory phase are constant.

Ovulation happens about 14 days before your period starts. If your average menstrual cycle is 40 days, you ovulate around day 26, and your most fertile days are days 24, 25 and 26.
