Should AF be slightly delayed if this is an anovulatory cycle?

Folks, do any of you know much about anovulatory cycles? I strongly suspect I may be having one right now. Since I started keeping a record of my cycle again about 6 months ago (just cm etc, not temping) I've always been pretty certain when I've ovulated, as I get cramping for several hours followed by a sharp pain in either ovary area, then the next day EWCM has gone and without fail 10 days later AF(I have a pretty short LP). This cycle EWCM has just vanished since yesterday with no cramping or ovary pain. Is AF likely to be delayed if it WAS an anov cycle or should it just come as usual 9/10 days after CM disappears. I have read that anov cycles happen occassionally to normally ovulating women, so not too concerned if it has happened, but just interested to know if theres likely to be any clues in when AF arrives that'll tell me if I was right or not.

Forces - I had one a few cycles ago - confirmed by scans and day-21 bloods and my cycle was longer by about 5 days. Hope you're wrong and you did ov and get a BFP as a result!
