Am I ovulating? (Pics)

Hi everyone, so I have mild pcos but my LH isn’t always high so I’ve successfully managed to catch ovulation with OPK and gotten pregnant before (I had a loss though), so OPK is my main method for tracking that.

but this month has been a bit weird, as usually it’s quite faint and then gradually gets stronger. But this month my opk has been like one day super light then next day a bit darker, then light then dark over and over.

I got another dark-ish one last night expecting today to be light again, but today is even darker. I’m quite late in my cycle - could this be ovulation finally starting to happen? I’m on cycle day 28 (usually ovulate day 22).

i’m also a bit confused as I usually have ewcm for a week leading up to this but I’ve had literally none. I’ve felt a lot wetter but it’s not stretchy.

I forgot to say, my cervix is super high, and I’ve never felt it so soft before… tho I could barely reach it. Weird that I don’t have ewcm despite all that.

I wouldn't say those are positive just yet. The test line needs to be as dark as the control line- or darker.
Keep testing though! Looks like it's rising

Thanks.

i ended up getting my ovulation pains finally. I’ve had them all day, with pinching on the left side, which is what I usually get when I ovulate.

but I did my test again and it’s only this dark. I’m confused as I usually get my peak when I’m cramping this hard

I've been drinking more water lately to avoid a uti so maybe could be that?

really expected it to be darker than the control line. So confused

Going by those tests you either haven't ovulated yet, missed the peak (maybe over night) or you're not going to ovulate at all this month (this happens some months).

The test line needs to be as dark as or darker than the control line to confirm the required surge for ovulation.
