The first day of my af was the 14/may/07, I have a 26 to 28 day cycle, I started ovulation testing from day 9. Its now day 16 and I still have not ovulated. I have been mapping my cycle for months now and I always ovulated on day 14.
I am a bit baffeled. my last af was very light and only lasted 4 days as apposed to 6 days. I was on holidays so I just put it down to the heat.

Travelling can delay ovulation especially long distance travel. So can any illness or stress. Once ovulation has occured then the luteal phase is a set time before the corpus luteam breaks down normally 10-14days. Are you charting your cycles as well as using opk's? If so then you will have a better idea if you have ovulated or not by a rise in temperature. You might just find it's because you were away on holiday. hth

Both can make a difference, some women are really susceptible to travel and even an hour up the road can delay ovulation for them. As can having a cold or being run down or tired. The other possibility is that you just missed the surge with ovulation tests that's why some women test twice a day with them. I never get a strong positive with them but I also temp so normally both tie in together.
