Dude, what is going on with my chart?! 41 days and counting. [X-Posted]

This is seriously the most frustrating cycle of my life. Words can't even describe how confused and upset I am that I am on CD 41 with NO ovulation and NO AF and NO pregnancy.

Here it is, the friggin ugliest chart you've ever seen (not for the squeamish):

Now, I saw my OB/GYN on July 6 and he took a look at my chart and photocopied my last six charts for his records. He doesn't understand it either, and he specializes in menstrual and reproductive GYN stuff. He said that MAYBE my body was "gearing up" to get AF around CDs 21-22 because of the spotting and subsequent temp dip, but it still doesn't make sense because there's no clear sign of ovulation. He said it could just be hormonal so he took some blood. He ran like nine tests, all of which came back totally normal. So he has no explanation for this.

He also did an ultrasound and there was nothing there. Everything looked totally normal. He didn't see a follicle or a corpus luteum on either ovary, and the lining looked normal. There was also no pregnancy, regular or ectopic. He was totally baffled too, especially in comparing this stupid chart to my previous pretty charts. Nothing has changed in my life -- not my diet, not my medications, nothing. My weight is the same, and I do not have any excessive stress. So what could be causing this?!

My cycles, as you can see (my chart is linked below in my siggy) have been pretty consistent since I began charting. But this?! This is total insanity compared to all my charts. I had a miscarriage and D&C in February, and then another D&C and hysteroscopy a couple of months later to remove a blood clot, and my three cycles after February were all five weeks long. Now that was weird, too, but not NEARLY as weird as THIS!

I seriously feel like this is the cycle that would never end, and it's frustrating as hell because we want to TTC but have no idea what's going on!

Does anyone have any suggestions? Insights? Comments? What do you think?

I wish AF would just SHOW UP ALREADY. It's bad enough having no clue where you are in your cycle, but now I am starting to seriously worry that something is broken, or that there's something wrong with me.

Anyone? Please?
