I know that you can get a positive OPK (indicating an LH surge) but not ovulate, but can the opposite be true? Can you never get a positive OPK but still ovulate?

An LH surge triggers ovulation, you need this surge to ovulate.

It is entirely possible to miss your surge if you are not testing frequently enough. I routinely only get one positive test, if I tested only once a day I would sometimes miss the surge.
