Should I be worried..?
I''ve been off BC since Dec. '11 and my cycles have been very regular since. We threw caution to the wind in July, and I received my longest cycle of 33 days. By August I had purchased OP sticks and it said I O'ed 4th-6th and my period arrived at day 28. This month OP sticks said I O'ed 9th-12th. AF is suppose to arrive tomorrow, but I guess that isn't happening!
Would I get AF 2 weeks from the 12th?
Does this sound normal? What is going on???
For next month I picked up CBE Digital OPK, a basal thermometer, and ordered a copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility.
Any and all advice is welcome!! Thanks!

Re: Should I be worried..?
I think you're doing all the right things. 
I tried OPKs and they didn't always work for me / were sometimes confusing, but Taking Charge of Your Fertility and consistently temping was how I really got a handle on what my cycle was doing.

I learned through this whole experience that as much as I thought I knew what was going on with my body, I really had no clue. I think opks and temping has really helped me map out my O days better

Yes. On the 9th, the test line came up before the control line. And then the next few days it was the same. On the 12th, I thought I wasn't but the more time I let it sit, it became the same color as the control line.
This cycle has really thrown me for a loop.

Sounds like it's time to use a smiley OPK. You're getting a lot of "positive" readings so my guess is some are close to positive without yet being positive. Use the line tests until you think you have a positive, then double check with the smiley. After you get a smiley, there's no need to continue testing...just  then!

ita..were they ever darker? not as fast as it came up but needs to be darker,all other ones r not positive so it can make uthink u r 12 dpo when u r only 9 and vice versa
and if they really were all positive that would be odd,do u have PCOS?

The first day was extremely darker. The other days were equal in color. I don't think I have PCOS. I have a friend who helps women get preggo for a living and she said, based upon what I've told her I don't have PCOS.
I picked up CBE Digital for next month.
