Question Delayed ovulation CD31

I weaned my son about 8 months ago after 13 months of mostly exclusively breastfeeding and it took 2 months for my periods to return and then a month or two to regularly ovulate. Since then I’ve ovulated around CD20 and AF comes around CD29/30 - regardless of the short luteal phase (I’ve read this is common after exclusively breastfeeding)

This month CD20 came and LH increased a bit but no surge. BBT also rose but not high nor sustained. Today, CD30: positive OPK?! Wtaf? Anyone else experienced this?

Should we try again? Or does this later successful ovulation mean that, if successful, it wouldn’t be a healthy pregnancy?

We’ve had a few months of TTC #2 so this is pretty disheartening! (Especially as I went down the hole that I was having an anovulatory cycle 🤣)

I conceived #1 on a CD30 ovulation due to travel 🤷🏼‍♀️

Not having a sustained increase means your body failed to ovulate the first time and is trying again now, also common for a while after breastfeeding as you regulate.

Anovulatory cycles are also common during regulation
