it's my first cycle pp. AF visited on may 8th and i thought i was going to ovulate this weekend, but my temp hasn't gone up and all OPKs are negative. i used to have a normal 28 cycle. since i haven't ovulated yet, does this mean my cycle is going to be longer than 28 days?

Re: ugh... when will i ovulate!?!?!?
I don't know hunny. You might not at all. It might take more time for your cycles to get *normal* again
I hope your egg shows soon.
what's the cause of not O'ing? my doctor never told me about this. is it common to not O after a pregnancy loss?
The first cycle post miscarriage and even a few cycles following can be very different from what used to be normal.
Were you charting before you got pg? You might still have 28 day cycles, but ovulate a few days later and have a shorter luteal phase.
Also, the stress from the miscarriage could be causing your body to delay ovulation. I don't know, but there could be other circumstances that are causing your body to delay ovulation.
You might also have an anovulatory cycle. This is not atypical after a miscarriage.
I'm sure that if you are charting, checking CM, and using OPKs you'll find out when you ovulate soon enough.
The cycle that I got pregnant in was the first that I used an ovulation predictor, after 6 months of trying, and that month I ovulated in the beginning of the last week of my normal 28 day cycle (so in your case, with stating on May 8, I would have ovualted on May 29). I can't say if this was happening in all of my cycles before that, because I wasn't charting or doing anything before then. I assume that I do just ovulate later than normal since I wasn't getting pregnant just trying during the "normal" time I should have been ovulating with a 28 day cycle, and then when I used the ovulation predictor strips for the first time I pinpointed my ovulation time and I got pregnant that month.
So, don't let go of hope that you could still ovulate this month. Good luck!
