May have ovulated late???

This is my first cycle off of birth control in over seven years, so I didnt really remember what my signs and symptoms of ovulation were. I thought I had ovulated right after my period ended and I calculated my dpo's based on that, but for some crazy reason, on CD 19 I decided to take an OPK and it was positive. The next morning my tempurature had spiked like I had ovulated, and now it's climbing higher than it's been so far. No dip like you would expect when you're about to start. Now my BBT chart is telling me I may have ovulated on cycle day 19 so today I would actually be 8 dpo. My AF was due yesterday or today but so far no sign our symptoms. I know that it can take a few cycles to regulate after getting off birth control, but with all the other things, I'm just s little confused. The reason I took the OPK was because I was having strong pregnancy symptoms like bloating, pinching, cramping and discomfort but i wad only getting BFN's. Now I'm wondering if those might have been signs that my body was trying to ovulate for the first time in 7 years.Lol. I'd pretty much decided I was out this month but now I'm playing the waiting game again. I'm kinda hoping my AF just shows up so I can start the process over again and actually have a clue what's going on this time. Any advice?

Sorry, correction, I took the OPK and think I ovulated on cycle day 21. That's why I think it was kinda late. Thanks.

It is very possible that you have ovulated on CD 19 or 21. I came off of birth control last august, and I have had several cycles where I have ovulated that late. It is very normal, especially since you are just now coming off of birth control. I recommend the book "Taking Charge of your Fertility" - it gives a lot of great information on your cycle, bbt charting, etc.

Great! Thanks so much. I'll look into it. Still no sign of my AF. I'm going to wait a few more days to test. I just started charting in the last two weeks so my next cycle will be my first full chart cycle. My temp is still staying high so fingers crossed. Thanks again.
