negative ovulation tests - please help!

My husband and I were ttc for only 2 months before we fell pregnant. We were over the moon and I had no symptoms whatsoever - bad or good. I got to about 10weeks when I insisted on an internal scan, and found out that my pregnancy was ectopic, although they had the heartlessness to show me the baby's beating heart.
Because my ectopic was so out of the blue, and so far on for an ectopic, the fallopian tube exploded and we lost not only our much-longed for baby, but I also lost my right fallopian tube.
I was told that while the surgeon was doing my laporoscopy (or whatever its called lol!) he checked out the rest of my womb, left tube and ovaries and everything seemed fine down there.
My periods are regular as clockwork, every 28 days and are 5 days long. I have all sorts of apps etc telling me when my most fertily days should be.
But every month, be it every day or only on the important days the apps suggest - I just do not seem to have ovulated, let alone had the joy of falling pregnant again, since the ectopic. (Although we didn't start properlt ttc again until february 2010.
I am 23 and my husband is 34. We are both healthy and look after ourselves, and have actually conceived before, although it was devestaingly but through no fault of our own an ectopic.
I have been to the doctors but they seem to not really care, and have just offered me blood tests to confirm what I already know - I AM NOT OVULATING SINCE THE ECTOPIC!!
Has anyone any advice, or have a similar story which may help let me know what to expect after the test confirms it and what usually happens next?
My husband does not want to be an old dad, and we know thanks to friends having trouble ttc that the process can take years - I'd rather get the ball rolling now so perhaps I may Know where I stand before my biological clock starts ticking loudly, rather than just broodiness and worrying, which it is at the moment!
Please, any advice would be soooo appreciated you would not believe.
And good luck to everyone on here currently ttc - sprinkling my dream dust for you all!!
Much love and many thanks guys.

I'm so sorry to hear about your ectopic. If you're not ovulating, I would ask your doctor if he would let you try clomid or a similar ovulation-inducing drug (like femara). Both clomid and femara are pills and are easy to take, unlike other fertility meds which usually involves giving yourself shots. Best of luck with everything!
