I am on CD23 and STILL haven't O'd. I'm on my 3rd patch of EWCM since CD14. I keep waiting for a temp spike, but nada! Nothing particularly stressful has happened this month, and I was diagnosed with PCOS at the beginning of the year, but haven't had many irregular-cycle issues up until now. It has been 6+ months since my IUD removal and m/c, so maybe my body is getting back to "normal"? So frustrating!!

I'm sorry hun. I'm in the same boat!!! I'm having EWCM for the third week and I'm on day 30! It's so frustrating! I hope it regulates itself for us soon... I might call my doctor if nothing happens for me by friday.

such a bummer. maybe you're just going to have an anovulatory cycle this month? i've read it's very normal for women to have 1 or 2 a year...

copied and pasted from ff:

My chart is not showing an ovulation pattern at all. Should I be worried that I am not ovulating? Can I ovulate without my chart showing it?

If you are not taking your temperature at the same time every day or if there are other external factors affecting your chart data, (drinking, medications, travel...) there is a good chance that you ovulated without your chart showing it. If this is the case, a change in charting habits will usually allow you to see your ovulation pattern in subsequent cycles.
If you are sure that you are charting accurately and there is no sign of ovulation on your chart, you should assume that you are still waiting for ovulation, especially if you typically have long cycles. Keep on having intercourse when you see signs of increased fertility, particularly fertile cervical fluid, as ovulation may just be delayed.
Some women typically ovulate late in the cycle, while others may have delayed ovulation due to stress, illness, travel or other factors. You can't tell whether or not the cycle will turn out to be anovulatory until it is over so it is best to assume that you are still waiting for ovulation so you don't miss a chance.
The occasional cycle without ovulation is usually not cause for concern. If you have several charts that do not show an ovulation pattern, however, or if you suspect that you may not be ovulating, you should talk to your doctor.

You always get really good info from FF - I should start to search myself. Hopefully I'll O today, as I see my temp is on an upswing. Waiting to O is almost as bad as the 2WW!

I had a huge dip this morning - I had to take my temp twice in a row because I thought my thermometer was broken!

Oh I hope you O'd and caught that egg!!

I FINALLY got a spike - my temp yesterday morning was so low I thought for sure my thermometer was broken and discarded the temp. No crosshairs yet, but I see them in my near future!

I had 2-3 patches of EWCM with my last pregnancy. I think that is why the baby measured 5d's behind. I think with the last bacth, I actually o'd then. Good luck to you, sounds promissing with your temp spike!
