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

Chart Advice

Hi I’m 10dpo and just confused on what’s happening. Typical cycle is about 28-32 days, miscarriage 4 months ago, I was trying to save the ultra wands for the beginning of the cycle and end so I missed FSH cd15-22.
UPDATE: Took a test after 4 hours and got a faint line!!!!!

Help with chart! So confused!

What’s up with the two LH surges? How can I pinpoint when true ovulation really was if PDG has been rising the whole time 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m concerned about a short luteal phase so honing in on O day would be super helpful!!

Thanks guys, this is not for the weak! ❤️

First month using Inito. Do we need to BD again?

😅😴 inito detected a false “surge” earlier this month around cycle day 10 but I knew that wasn’t how my cycle normally goes so I kept tracking. I’m confused how you actually tell which day ovulation is. Wondering if I need to try again tonight or we had good enough coverage for this month?
