Anon, in addition to Alison's comments, have you tried (or have you heard of) basal body temperature charting?
The basics of it are this: You have a basal body temperature upon waking that stays at a certain level before you ovulate. Right before you ovulate, it dips as much as a half degree. Soon after you ovulate, it rises as much as a full degree, and stays there until you have your period.
Charting your basal temperature requires very little: A special thermometer (regular thermometers don't go to the tenth of a degree) and charts, which you can even print from the internet. If you were to use them for a couple months along with your ovulation predictor kits, you might get a better idea of just what your body's doing.
Here's a former EmpowHer post where I explain basal body temperature charting and include some links:
