What do anovulatory cycles feel like?

We're at cycle 8, and early basic testing suggests unexplained infertility. The doctor said we should keep trying for these final few months until we hit the 12 month diagnostic period. I had cried, made peace with it and begun contemplating whether I could do IVF.

​

And this cycle is completely different. I have no PMS symptoms all. Usually I have the full gamut of sore boobs, cramps, digestive things, emotions, acne etc. But if you told me I was getting my period today (potentially 14dpo) or a nearly a week from now (for late ovulation), I wouldn't believe you.

​

But I took a test this morning - BFN. Even for a late ovulation, this would be when I see other people getting positives at 9 or 10 dpp. So I'm not pregnant. What is going on? Is this anovulatory? I felt ovulation pain pretty clearly in two lots, but can this happen without ovulating?
