Ovulation after chemical

I had a chemical pregnancy last month. I had one before I conceived my eldest so I had a feeling something wasn't right from the start and sure enough, tests never got any darker and a few days later I started bleeding. Tested again after bleeding stopped and it was negative.

I usually ovulate later in my cycle. Can be anywhere between CD 17-22 but recently has been around CD17/18. I haven't been using OPKs or temping as it makes me crazy but I can usually tell with reasonable certainty based off CM and ovulation pain.

This month however, I'm on CD19 and haven't really had much CM. I had a little bit of cloudy EWCM around CD17 coupled with strong cramps on one side. Since then no more cramps, but have had tiny amounts of EWCM here and there.

It's just annoying me because I don't know whether to assume I ovulated around CD17 or if the CP has thrown things off and I'm still gearing up to it. It's making me feel a bit like this month is a write off already.

I should've used OPKs but I wanted to try and be a bit more relaxed about TTC this time. As you can see it's going well lol.

I'm CD 31, I think I'm around 13/14dpo based off when I noticed ewcm but I wasn't tracking any other way so could be wrong as I do usually ovulate later (around CD 20-22).

My LP is usually 10 days so took a test on Wed when I think I was 11/12dpo and it was very faintly positive. Went out and bought a couple of more sensitive tests and tested that evening, again very faint. The line only became clear outside of the 5 minute reading window so I don't know if it's an indent, but it is pink.

Took two more tests the next morning with FMU and neither seemed any darker so started to think maybe it's a chemical. Took another strip test this morning and I think it's about the same.

I've got some FRER coming today or tomorrow so will see how those look but unless I'm way less dpo than I think, this doesn't look good does it?
