Need Advice on Concieving

On Christmas day my husband and I decided to start trying to concieve. I had studied the conception calendars, but was a bit confused and frustrated because my period is always different. I am a new teacher so it is a pretty stressful time and I missed my period for two months because of the stress. Finally I had my period of December 4th. So by looking at the fertilitly charts would I have been ovulating on the 18th? It is hard to figure out just by charting when I could concieve. So I should have gotten my period on Jan. 4th, but it is now the 9th and I still have not gotten it. I have taken 3 tests and all are negative. I also have the flu, so I don't know if some of these symptoms could be from being pregnant. I would just like to know what others might think. Thanks!

If you have irregular cycles to begin with, it may be hard to determine when your fertile time is based on text book 14 days for ovulation.
