Possible.

>On Saturday night, I had all the signs of ovulation: egg-white cervical fluid, pain on my left side, OPK said definitely. I thought I timed intercourse perfectly. I was just sure when I woke up Sunday that my temperature would be up because I had ovulated but it wasn't. It also did not go up yesterday. My temp finally went up this morning (Tuesday) but not much. I am just wondering if I may have ovulated but the progesterone did not kick in for about two days - does this happen?

Yup. Actually, it's the progesterone that may have been elevated but just didn't elevate the temp;

>That is not usual for me. I normally ovulate on day 14 and today is day 23 and I am still not sure I have ovulated. I am wondering if I may be having an anovulatory cycle this month. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you.

Anovulation diagnosis will have to wait and can only be made in retrospect at the end of the month.
