Not sure when I ovulated!

Hi everyone,
First month TTC here!
I track my cycle using the Flo app, (this says my ovulation day is 14th september). I tried the clear blue digital ovulation tests, for 3 days I had a flashing smiley (high fertility) and then on 11th september I had a solid smiley (peak fertility). I used cheap ovulation strips the same time as had dark lines on 11th but also yesterday (12th). Today my clear blue is saying low ovulation and the cheap test strips don’t even have a second line.
Does this mean I’ve ovulated already? I had intense cramp pains in my left side and back yesterday evening.
Confused to whether I ovulated on 11th or 12th?
Thank you I’m advance! X

The digital tests will give you a peak as soon as they detect a lh surge. Ovulation can happen in the next 12 to 36 hours, so mostly it's around 24h later. Your ovulation would have been on 12th September I'd say based on your tests.
About the flo app, they always calculate with a 14 day luteal phase. I think you can manually enter your positive ovulation test and it will learn from it.

Thanks so much!
I entered my positive result into the Flo app on the 11th as this is when I had my first positive result using clear blue and it changed my predicted ovulation date to the 12th instead of 14th!
I’m just wondering if it’s normal to get a ‘low fertility’ reading at 1DPO? X

Honestly I never tested after peak but it sounds plausible to me. In theory the day after would be considered as a fertile day as an app won't be able to predict ovulation exactly so it's more like a fertile window. But once you ovulated the lh drops significantly.

Thank you so much for your replies. Started to worry that I hadn’t actually ovulated since having a negative test so quickly afterwards.
Fingers crossed, now the dreaded 2 week wait!!
