"Surprise" O on CD 20...Had BD night before. Probl

Quickly- We suffered at MC at 9 weeks in February. My very regular cycle started back like clockwork... 28 days, ovulating on day 14. With one exception month where I o'd on day 17/18. Last month we had a chemical pregnancy and I started my cycle 4 days late (likely due to the progesterone I am on). My OB said I likely would have started my cycle normally had I not been on it, never realizing even I was pregnant. DH didn't want us to be "trying" (i.e. OPK's) necessarily. Our first two DD's were conceived very much on not trying. I vaguely agreed and didn't really test to check O. We BD on CD 9 and 10. I really didn't think I was O'ing around day 14 like normal so I did take an OPK which was negative. I took one a day over the next 4 days and assumed either I was a screwed up now, or I had O'd and missed it somehow or was having a ever convenient anovulatory cycle. Well...we had a little wine one night and BD on CD 19. The next morning I was going to throw out the box and put the last test away for next month when something told me to take it. Your guessed it- positive! I had to laugh. I didn't tell DH because it was so nice to have fun without 'trying' or him thinking that's all I want from him. NOW- I'm having either all kinds of early symptoms and/or I'll be starting my cycle, as scheduled, on Friday. I was under the impression though that AF will come 14 days after you ovulate...then why in the pregnancy test calculator is it telling me to take one tomorrow (a day that would normally be CD 26, but, is only 7 DPO). Secondly, WHile I am taking a load of supplements to help with implantation, I'd love to hear some encouraging stories where ladies O on CD 20+ and have had normal pregnancies... I certainly have no trouble getting pregnant, it's just the keeping them now that freaks me out. HELP! :)
...and thank you!
