Help reading ovulation strips
I am using ovulation strips for the first time using the ones from Pregmate and scanning them into the app. I have been testing twice each time in case of a faulty strip and lately started testing twice a day at different times. I started testing on CD 9 and around CD10 up until now, my cervical mucus is consistent with when it gets close to ovulation.
From CD9 to CD12, I have been getting faint lines. Yesterday on CD 13 at around 4:35pm, I had sudden dark lines, but the app said it wasn’t the peak 1.0 or higher value. It was hard for me to make out with my own eyes whether the test line was as dark as the control since it looks really close. Plus I don’t have a previous cycle to compare with.
I tested later on CD13 at 8:28pm and the test line was visibly lighter than 4 hours before. I tested today on CD14 and the test line is lighter but still darker than before CD13 it seems.
Does it seem like I had my surge/peak yesterday on CD 13 and now’s the time for baby dance? Or will it maybe happen later?
My period tracker apps have ovulation predicted at in 3-4 days but I know I shouldn’t fully trust that or the numbers that the Pregmate app say
