LH Test Strip Confusion

Hi all, this might sound a bit daft, but it's my first month tracking ovulation and it doesn't seem promising 😅
Both my tracking apps say I've to ovulate tomorrow but so far these are my tests, you can see the faintest line on the top 2 if you squint! I've just started tracking bbt but this isn't reliable yet as it's only been a few days.
Just wondering if this is normal? I've seen so many others and they're all darker the day before O. My last 3 cycles have been 26D, due AF on the 21st

The second line needs to be as dark or darker than the test line to show ovulation is imminent

What time of day are tou testing @dreamer30?

Apologies, I just realised the times are on the pic.

I noticed that I could only get a good reading on the strips first thing in the morning with stronger pee. If I did later in the day when I had drank loads, they were almost blank!

You may only just be approaching ovulation now. Id keep testing, making sure you are using strong urine, good luck

The strips never worked for me, and I was definitely ovulating as my temperature rose and I got pregnant after 4 months of trying. I think it's fairly common for the strips not to work for everyone, just wanted to share in case they don't end up working for you.

Thanks so much all 😊 I will persevere! Lol this is all new to me, usually I just go by CM and cramping. Don't have EWCM yet and usually only get it for a day or 2 so will look out for that from now until tomorrow. This baby making aint easy 😅
