Ovulation confusion

Hi , so a little confused as my natural cycles app and Premom says that today I should test. This time last month CD16 I was getting darker tests, but the test I took this morning was really low (see picture attached) I’m a little confused (and worried!) Has anyone had anything like this? Or does anyone have advice ?

Confused

This is my ovulation test from this afternoon, i pictured it a couple times as the lighting wasn’t great and kept getting different readings but they were all high. (My morning one was high too just not as high as this afternoon) I’m assuming I’ll be peaking soon? When’s best to BD? Thanks

Chances of getting pregnant this month

I downloaded this app to try and track my ovulation date. The purple circle is the day I ovulate according to the dates of my last period, the pink flowers are fertile days and the hearts are days me and my partner had unprotected sex. Looking at these days is it likely I could get pregnant this month?

Ovulation after pregnancy.

How is ovulation during your postpartum? I’ve been having a ton of eggwhite discharge for over 6 days now. Which is not normal for me. :0

Day 9 post 5 Day Embryo Transfer

Is this line fainter than it should be at this time? With my daughter the line was much darker (also through IVF). This is our last Embryo and captured in the timeframe and so hoping it is all ok 🤞

TTC

Hi, Can anyone explain ovulation strips. I haven’t really used them before - yesterday the two lines were equally dark and today one is lighter. Does this mean I ovulated yesterday? Or not? Any help much appreciated.

Am I not ovulating

Is it safe to assume I’ve either missed my peak or I’m not ovulating this month? Ty x

If I don’t have definite line on tests, does that mean I’m out this cycle, or could it still be early? Period isn’t due till 14th.
