The paucity of data points will make this only anecdotal. I have bred 18 of my 21 subjects. All breeding has been on observed natural heats. Due to circumstances that arise, some I bred early. Some I bred late. If they were bred less than 8 hours following the onset of standing heat = early. If they were bred greater than 8 hours following the onset of standing heat = late.
The reason I am doing this is because I had about 4 or 5 that I didn't get to until they were very late. I have about an 80 % conception rate and have always been on the early side of the bell curve. Going to be fun.
First one was bred early. She is 22 days this morning and quiet as a mouse. Next one is 21 tomorrow and I bred her late.
