Slow rise after estrogen surge? Anovulatory? Late ovulation?

So my chart is giving me all sorts of issues this cycle. Since I'm inconsistent with CM and CP checks, that doesn't help anyone, but I was hoping I could get some feedback from you all. I've asked in several other groups and sites I'm on and I either get no feedback, or people just saying "yeah, that looks weird. Sorry, no idea what could be going

Well, last cycle my chart was a bust because I was in 3 different time zones and five states in one month, haha! I feel like I ovulated for sure last cycle though. My CM, CP, and libido all corresponded with it (even though it's not marked -- I kept commenting on how eggwhitey my CM was, haha).

Yeah, the only thing I can think is that this cycle is anovulatory. I had really bad cramps yesterday and a wet feeling and I was convinced I'd started my period before I had a chance to get my cup in, but when I went to check, there was no blood, not even a spot. My cervix is really high and really soft since last night though, so I don't know what that means, if anything. If my period was impending, my cervix would be much lower (at least, it has been in my experience of charting), and firmer.

But yeah, since we're trying to wait til after we're married, we've never bothered with OPKs. We just wait til my temperatures have been elevated a few days and my CM has dried up to go unprotected.

I guess we'll see in the next few days what all happens. :)

ETA When I change the settings from FAM to Advanced, FF gives me crosshairs. So I guess I really do need to wait and see -- maybe my cycle isn't as weird as I initially thought.
