CBFM and OPK question: Exhausting having so many "tools!"

    I've often wished that there was not so much out there for me to "know" when it comes to having a baby.  I am driving myself absolutely nuts, and the more "tools" I acquire to try to "know" as much as I can, which I thought would alleviate some of the wondering and obsession, just makes me even more batshit crazy.

    I am on my first "true" cycle after coming off the pill.  I stopped the pill in early June, had my white-pill-induced "period" then I ovulated/smiley faced on Day 10 and 11, according to my CB OPKs.  Did not get pg, but one good thing was that on exactly CD 28, I started my period.  I had been worried it would take ages, so glad for that.

    Now I am using the Clear Blue Fertility Monitor, and just because I'm a wackadoo, also using the Clear Blue OPKs.  I just completed my morning ritual, and I am starting to get a little concerned:

    I am on CD 12, and today is my 3rd "high" on the monitor.  I am still getting "blank faces" on the OPK.  Should I be worried that I "smiley faced" on Day 10 last month, but haven't yet?  Or is it typical to ovulate earlier when you first stop BC?

    It's making me worried...Mainly bc I can feel things happening down there, slight cramping/tightness/etc., for the past day or so, but the OPK gives me no smiley face.  And the Monitor just still reads high, but no peak/egg.

    Just a case of my body getting back to normal?  Obviously, I just have to "wait and see" if ovulation is just around the corner, a little later this month...but I'm just curious if anyone else has had similar situations....Thanks, ya'll!!!

    My first cycle was 28 days and the 2nd 36.  This 3rd one looks like it will be similar in length to the 2nd (time will tell).

    I don't have all the tools (yet?) but thought I could answer your q anyways.

    its normal for ovulation to vary a little bit, so dont stress. :)  i used the CBFM and i ovulated on slighty differnt days.  (most of htem have been between day 13-17) One time i didnt ovulate til day 22! i havent been on the pill so i dont really know about that but i LOVE the CBFM.
