53 days late, 21 days +opk, -hpt

in Trouble TTC
My DH and I have been TTC for a year. I am 53 days late, this "cycle" (if that's what it is?!) has lasted 86 days. I have been testing with OPK and have gotten positive on the last 21 days but every HPT I take is a BFN. I've been using digital tests for both so I didn't have to interpret darkness of lines, etc. I have no true signs of pregnancy. I had to wait to get in with my OBGYN until finally next week. Just tought I would bounce this off everyone. Thanks for any help, ideas!!
Me: 31, PCOS
2nd round of P4 to induce AF. Metformin 2,000mg daily x2months - no change.
Medicated cycle #1 Femara 2.5mg x 5 days + Novarel = BFN.
Benched to redo labs, trying new meds. Starting Clomid next cycle.

Re: 53 days late, 21 days +opk, -hpt
First TTC Journey:
- Failed attempts at clomid with OB
- HSG with OB, nothing found
- Met with RE. Laparoscopy/Hysteroscopy done on 08/04/2014. Results: Hymenal stenosis, minimal endometriosis, and PCOS
2008: HSG (normal), couple rounds of clomid through gyno
2008 - 2010: dragging my feet out of fear and procrastination
October 2010: first consultation with RE, dx PCOS and fibroids (DH slightly low count/motility)
Oct. 2010 - Dec. 2012: In DENIAL! avoided the issue because I was scared of surgery
January 2013: returned to RE, fibroids grew significantly
February 2013: second HSG, fibroids pushed on tubes which blocked them somewhat
March 2013: MRI to determine what type of surgery may be necessary
July 29, 2013: fibroids (5) removed via robotic laparascopy
August 2013 - Nov 2013 : benched due to recent surgery
IUI #3, Feb. 25, 2014 BFN
IUI #4 canceled due to lack of response to letrozole
IUI #4.1 April 28, 2014, BFN
May 16, 2014: wtf consult, start prepping for IVF in June and add injects for one last IUI in the meantime
IUI #5 started letrozole and bravelle but canceled after HSG led to new diagnosis
May 21, 2014: third HSG, tubes blocked, one at the beginning, one hydrosalpinx??
IVF #1 August 8, 2014 - 3dt of 2 embryos, BFN
September 17, 2014 - 4th HSG, the right tube is very patent (open!!) dye went straight through this time. Weird!
October 2, 2014 - started metformin treatment
November 14, 2014 - blood work, brought A1C down from 5.8 to 5.5
November 26, 2014 - RE finally back from vaca and reviewed my chart, no more IVFs for rest of calendar year
December 1, 2014 - Right after Thanksgiving, I called a new clinic and got in right away! Plan for IVF
December 17, 2014 - ER! 29 retrieved (!!), 16 mature, all 16 fertilized (ICSI)
IVF #2 December 20, 2014 - 3dt of 3 embryos, BFN
We are done with treatment unsuccessfully.

Very sorry if this is not applicable to you, but...I was really surprised to read 21 days of OPK+ and wanted to check, is the test line actually as dark as, or darker than, the control line? Since (as you probably do know, again sorry), unlike pregnancy tests, having a test line that is lighter than the control indicates normal LH levels, not a surge.
So sorry about your long cycle, I hope you find some answers soon!
