Is it possible to ovulate multiple times within a cycle?

Ok, I apologize if this is a stupid question but curious...  Is it possible to ovulate multiple times without getting a period after each ovulation?  I have a very irregular cycle (and very long ones)- my cycles are usually anywhere from 60-130+ days.  I haven't had AF since Sept, but I had a opk + in Oct, Nov, and I just got another one a couple days ago.  I thought the opks in Oct and Nov were just faulty tests (something wrong with the kits) since I never got AF but now I'm seeing a pattern.  I just started temping last week, and it kind of looks like I actually did o recently.  I have an ob/gyn appt in a week so I'll ask my dr. then, but wondering if anyone else had insight.  I had blood tests done in Aug to see if there were any "issues" with why I wasn't getting my period every month, but all tests were negative.  TIA!

    I thiiiink it's possible but usually happens within days. If you're getting positive OPKs but no BFP or AF, it's more likely that you're getting a false surge of luteinizing hormone and not actually ovulating.

    From what I understand, you only ovulate once each cycle.  In the case of fraternal twins, two eggs can be released- not necessarily simultaneously, but not very far apart.

    With PCOS, I believe you could gear up to ovulate several times in a cycle, but you will ovulate just once, unless it is annovulatory. GL!

    I think it is more likely you are getting false LH surges than multiple ovulations.  I'll be interested to see what your doctor says, keep us updated!

    Good luck!

    Actually, when I had one of my early u/s my RE said it looked like I had o'd twice that cycle.

    Don't know if I really did, but I  trust her judgment.

    Thanks everyone for your responses.  I was kind of wondering if I had PCOS, but when I brought it up at my dr. appt, she didn't seem to think anything of it.  I got pregnant with my ds on my 1st cycle after bc, so she thought because it happened so fast with ds, that I should just wait it out with this pregnancy and see what happens.  We've since moved out-of-state so I'm seeing a new ob/gyn next week.  I'll bring it up and see what he says.
