OPKs are not infallible. You may have ovulated but based upon the OPK,
probably not. this may be your first anovulatory cycle. We see this
frequently when people are stressed about getting pregnant. If you are
ovulating, why would you be going on Clomid?
If you ovulate on day 20 and get pregnant, that should be fine too.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
