New to TTC and already feeling lost! Please help...

[FunkyClaire]

Hi ladies, I hope some of you can help me because I am *so* confused already.
This is our 1st month of TTC, I've never really kept track of my cyles before but I think they've been roughly 30 days... last 2 months were 31 and 35 days.
So already I wasn't totally sure when I would ovulate.
I had what I'm pretty sure was a positive OPK on day 13 which I thought was a bit early but not sure? Made sure we had most days around this time anyway!
But, I don't seem to have any CM. Like... almost nothing. And I don't see a temp spike. So is it likely I haven't ovulated yet? Could it still happen or is that me out this month now?
I'm trying to think if I normally get much in the way of CM and I know I do get it but can't think how much/often as never paid attention before!

Argh I just feel like it's cycle 1 and I'm already 'failing'!

Oops, sorry for the rant for my 1st post - I'm looking forward to joining in here with you all!
