Ovulation test confusion!

Hi all 😊 I'm a bit confused with my ovulation! This is our first month ttc but I've been tracking my cycles for months and I have always had a day or two of EWCM and a distinctive pain in my side. However, this month I'm so confused! I started getting EECM, cramps, nausea and feeling hot last Tuesday (all normal for me during ovulation) but a week later it's still happening! I did have the distinctive pain on Sunday just gone so I thought I had ovulated then but I woke up this morning to even more EWCM and I am still cramping on and off 🙁 I feel tired and worn out.
I took an ovulation test this morning and got a faint positive line, does this mean I am about to ovulate or that I ovulated the Sunday just gone? I have attached a picture! I don't know why this is happening 😊

With ovulation tests there is no such thing a faint positive - the test line has to be as dark or darker than the control line for a positive.

LH is in the system all cycle so you may get faint lines at any time, it’s the surge of LH before ovulation that turns the opk positive.

So, hard to say exactly when ovulation is/was with a faint line!

@Blondemother thanks 😊 I have just read that online aswell! I have a 29 day cycle and since I had that distinct pain on Sunday I would say that I have already ovulated now knowing that ovulation test is negative. I'm just confused as to why I've had EWCM and cramps for a week now! 🤷‍♀️
