in TTC after 35
My cycles have been different in length nearly every month. I've had some 28 days cycles, 30, 31, and 32. Last month it was 28 and I believe I ovulated on day 16 see last months chart. Today is day 16 and no signs of ovulation and continue to get negative OPKs and my temp is still down. Anyone else in a similar boat? I'm wondering if I'm not ovulating each cycle.
I never thought getting pregnant would take this long. sigh

Consider yourself very lucky!
Me 38 MH 41 - TTC since June 2010 - dx with Severe MFI. Straight to IVF with ICSI. IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!! First U/S 12/21/12 - We saw one beautiful gest. sac. 2nd U/S is 01/04/2013 - H/B 183 02/05/13 - NT Scan - everything looks good and IT'S A BOY! Aiden was born 08/20/2013.
IVF #2 is in progress. ER was 05/12/14 - 11 eggs retrieved, 8 fertilized with ICSI. ET was 05/15/14 - we transferred 3 embryos as we did on the cycle my son was conceived. We were able to freeze 3 embryos. Beta is scheduled for 05/26/14. 1st beta - 111. 2nd beta - 159 didn't double
3rd beta Friday 5/30) - not a lot of hope left. Beta # 3 is 247 - probably ectopic. Beta # 4 is 813 - possibly vanishing multiple sydrome? 06/05/14 - 5w4days - first U/S - we see a gestational sac and yolk - still have hope! 06/17/14 - 7w1day - U/S and saw and heard the heartbeat - Finally! 06/27/14 - 8w4days - Baby and heartbeat look and sound great 
EDD 02/01/14 and It's a boy!

According to FF (which, although good, is relying on my sometimes questionable data) my cycles have ranged from 25-35 days and my day of ovulation has ranged between 14 and 23. Since I started charting, I haven't seen any 20s, but I have seen a 17.
I don't believe I ovulated months 4 or 5 off the pill, but I was only using OPKs (and not very successfully). I only started temping after more than a year off the pill. I do see ovulation consistently now (and usually have no trouble identifying a LH surge).
Anyway, all this is to say, I've seen quite a bit of variation and I think it took my body a while to regulate. Best wishes!

CD12-15 for me and I have cycles from 23-27 days.
I see you got a + OPK today. Assuming ovulation tomorrow and a 12 day luteal phase like last month, that will put you right on track for a 30 day cycle. Going forward, it's likely you'll be ovulating between days 16 and 20 and have 28-32 day cycles. That is, if you don't get pregnant. Good luck! I hope this is your month.
Awesome, ladies! Thanks so much for your input! I don't have a lot of "real" friends in my life that are trying to get pregnant, and my friends that do have children got pregnant really quickly and easily, so you are all my go to people when I have questions!
Annalisel-Yes! I got a +OPK today! I am so excited! I missed getting a positive test last month because I had only been testing once a day and I think I missed the surge but am still pretty confident that I ovulated. I hope this is your month as well! Thanks for the good info and feedback about my chart :-)
