Can not get my head around my fertile window!

I think I'm a bit thick on this one. I have various apps and all say my window is different, based on my last period. I've got ovulation sticks and now see they only show up positive in the days BEFORE you ovulate. Is this right? This is so complicated, I'm so confused 😩

Hey op. So the surge you get is positive when the test line is as stronger or stronger than the control line. In theory you should ovulate within the following 24-36 hours (although it can vary). Ideally you want to dtd in the build up to ov so that the sperm is there ready when the egg pops. Hope this helps.
