Getting frustrated

I'm getting really frustrated. I'm TTC. My cycles have been varying between 30 days, 45 days, and 60 days irregularly and in no order. I've been taking OPK's and getting false positives/false ovulation...and I've been taking BBT which I cannot understand because my temperatures are so erratic that it's not making any sense to me. I'm not sure that I'm looking for any advice or suggestions, I feel like I just need to vent and see if this happening to anyone else. My last cycle was 45 days and based on my negative OPK's and confusing BBT, it looks like this cycle might be 60 days, again?! Jeez, I'm just searching for some kind of answer…

Re: Getting frustrated
Some women can get accurate BBT's after 3 hours of sleep regardless of time, some women (like me) have to take it at exactly the same time every morning.
Can you link your chart?
Second, it's hard to tell much with the chart you posted since it looks like you're only on CD 14.
Fwiw, your temps don't look that erratic. It actually looks like you may have O'd on CD 13, but can't be confirmed without at least a few more days of temping.
OPK's don't work well for me and I have never got a true positive, but because I temp (and because of lab tests) I know that I've O'd even when I've not gotten positive OPK's.
Basically, the bold black line in your chart (the one that almost all of your temps are under) would be your cover line (your follicular phase).. Your drop in temp on CD12, and then spike on CD 14 (which is above your cover line) would suggest you O'd on CD 13 IF your temps are sustained above your cover line (which would be your literal phase) until you get a + HPT or the return of AF.
Keep temping, look for your temps to stay elevated to confirm O. But you can download FF and put these temps in and it will do all the work for you!
Also, it can take up to a year sometimes to regulate from long term BC use.
