Am I not ovulating?

I have a fairly regular cycle, always between 26 and 28 days, and have been tracking my LH and BBT the last few cycles. I have been getting a sudden LH surge on CD11, with all the usual ovulation symptoms and EWCM, and with OPKs staying positive a few days after and BBT rising a few days after and staying up until AF. Possibly ovulating around CD12/13.

This month though, I have been getting positive OPKs since CD9, now CD15 with no obvious peak, and my BBT has ranged between 36.1-36.4C during this time. I haven't had any obvious symptoms of ovulation either.

Has anyone experienced this before, could I be not ovulating? Any advice welcome please, feeling very disheartened that this could be another month with no success ☹️

Thanks @Kay00, will keep trying and hopefully it's just late this month 🤞🏻

It looks to me as though you have had an LH surge but not a peak, and as a result you haven't ovulated yet. Your body may try again this cycle (your cycle may be longer) so keep testing with OPKS

Wouldn't let me upload more than 3 photos, this is last months peak OPK!

It is normal to have anovulatory cycles do you know @Kay00? I've researched it a bit and it makes me worry there is something else going on causing it, which is maybe why we haven't had any success so far...

So below is my chart for this month and then compared to last month - it's given me a LH peak but if you compare the 2 peaks you can see it's not really a peak. Plus I have attached my tests so you can see the peak test looks pretty much the same as all the others I have done, and compare it to my last months very obvious positive OPK peak!

Hi @MF24 it is possible that you haven't ovulated yet, or that you won't ovulate this cycle. It doesn't seem unusual for women to have random long cycles where they ovulate much later or to have an anovulatory cycle. The good news is that all cycles until now you have been able to identify ovulation.

Do you have a chart you can share?
