Did I ovulate?

This is my 2nd cycle off birth control so I expected my cycles to be a little wonky for a while, but last cycle, my temps were exactly as I’d expect them to be, had a temp rise right after positive LH test and then dropping back down right before my period. So this cycle, I started LH testing the day after my period ended and was surprised to see a dark positive. I know LH surges can happen outside of ovulation, but my temps did start coming up right after. However, now they’re dropping back down, so has anyone had this happen? Is it possible it was a false surge and I should be looking out for a second one? Or could I have ovulated and am now having a secondary surge of estrogen? So confused😭

Indent?

Husband and I are not actively trying but will be happy if I am pregnant. I am supposed to start my period in a few days, have no idea when I could have ovulated because I’m not tracking, I did have some brown discharge for a few days this past week, thought maybe I was starting an early period, but it was never enough to even wear a panty liner. I took a test yesterday, thought I could see the shadow of a line (husband can’t see it), so I took another one today and this showed up within the timeframe. Hard to tell if it’s anything real or maybe an indent? Or maybe I just have horrible line eyes🤪 I did make the picture triple negative and can see color there, but I didn’t upload as edited pics aren’t allowed!

Late period?

This is probably going to be a little confusing, but I’m going to try to explain the best I can. I recently got married, and was supposed to be on my placebo week the week of my honeymoon, so I decided to try taking my birth control continuously to delay it. Before I could even finish the pack I was on leading up to my wedding, I started bleeding. So Thursday 6/4, I started bleeding, then I continued to take my BC straight through, starting a new pack on 6/7. I still had what I assumed to be withdrawal bleeding, for about 6 days despite continuing my active pills. The week of my honeymoon, I forgot to take at least 4 pills in a row. I doubled up for the next few days when I realized, but I guess we had been essentially having unprotected sex with that many pills missed. Now, I’m on the placebo week of my current pack, and I am not having any bleeding when normally I’d start bleeding right after stopping active pills. I also have had extremely sore boobs (mostly nipples, they feel like they’re on fire), and serious bloating with mild cramps that don’t feel like period cramps. Instead of blood, I’m having white, creamy discharge. I’ve had an ectopic pregnancy before (while on this same BC), and I didn’t have these symptoms, but I did have awful insomnia, which is now back. I suspect I may be pregnant, but I’m having completely negative tests. So I’m trying to figure out, would I possibly have ovulated during the time I missed the pills, or would the missed pills be enough for me to ovulate after the fact, even though I restarted taking them? Trying to figure out a timeline has been confusing, so I can’t tell if these negative tests could be because it’s too early, or if my hormones are just completely whacked because of my BC changes and maybe I’m just overthinking things. Any insight would be helpful!

Indent line?

Read within the window, first picture is first test I took that I thought might be positive. Second is shortly after (because I’m having to pee every few hours now) and I just can’t tell😭
