Odd bbt chart - 2 months post op

Hi,
June 5th I had my right tube removed at 8 weeks pregnant due to a ectopic pregnancy.
I've finally had two full cycles and started tracking bbt again on day 4 of this cycle.
It's honestly the oddest chart I've ever seen and I'm starting to panic.
I desperately want another baby but I'm terrified I will lose my last tube and won't be able to conceive again. We aren't using protection as I do want a baby (although after this panic I realise I may need more time)
but I've been keeping my distance from DH this week as according to LH I ovulated day 14/15 except my bbt never went up properly. I tested again today on CD18 and if anything the lines slightly darker which has never happened before. My lines were also quite dark the day AF which again, never normally happens.
How likely is it that I ovulated around CD4 and could have fallen pregnant then?

I didn't realise until today but I've been I've been having pregnancy symptoms all week that I put down to mild food poisining/IBS 😳.

Im hoping my bodies just confused, the first LH spike wasn't when I ovulated and my bodies trying again.. I'm so scared :(

I was going to wait until next month to start trying again but if I'm not pregnant I think I might give it a bit longer as I don't think I've gotten over the ectopic yet 😓

Sorry its a bit of a ramble but hopefully it makes sense. I do have 1 digital test that I was saving and logically I know I can't be pregnant but there's a bit of doubt that I can't get rid of.

It is obvious that your surge started from CD 14 and is yet to end. The ratio of 5.14 is not accurate to me, though the test result is positive. With 5.14, the test line must be way darker than the control line. You can swipe left, click the pencil icon and readjust the color intensities of the test line and control line to correct the ratio. I feel sorry for your loss. If you want to take a break, it would be better to stay away from the fertile window (days in purple). Send blessings!

I am so sorry for what you have gone through. I just want to give you some hope that I had an ectopic pregnancy in March with right tube removal and then fell pregnant in the May Thanks

Unfortunately I miscarried at 6 weeks but it has made me feel more at ease knowing I have had a pregnancy in right place afterwards Smile

But do give yourself time if you need it x

Thank you for the replies Smile
Sorry for you loss @WJK00 Flowers
I've carried on with LH tests and BBT and temp finally went up so I must have ovulated later than normal as it's putting me at 3dpo now. LH test also got lighter 2 days ago but now it's getting darker again.
As I've ovulated Im now pretty sure I won't be pregnant this cycle which is for the best.
I think my bodies still not back to normal so I'm going to try and give it one more cycle before trying.
As stressful as I find bbt and LH testing, in my view it saved my life as it was the first sign that something was wrong. I had positive tests really early on but my temp remained at or below the coverline. That with the bleeding pointed to a ectopic, without bbt I wouldn't have known something was wrong so I will try to keep doing it even if I don't do the LH test each day.

And tests - not sure why it would get darker but I'm hoping it doesn't mean anything other than my body likes to play tricks on me
