Am I ovulating soon? Pictures

On CD21 and it seams to slightly go up and then back down again. These tests are over the last few days; bottom test is just now.
Could I have already missed my peak or when does it look like it will peak based on the past tests? I know that's quite a broad question..

It’s impossible to say from the photo really, none of those tests are positive and they don’t look to be getting particularly any darker however that’s not uncommon. Some people go from those lines to a peak and then back to those lines all within 12 hours so if you only test once a day then you could easily miss it x

Thank you! I've been testing a few times today so maybe I'll just keep testing and see if I get a peak. My periods are up to about 45 days at the moment so it's hard to know. I appreciate the response.

@ukMummyof1 if your cycle is up to 45 days and assuming your luteal phase is 12-14 days then you might not see a peak until cd 30-32. It depends how regular that is. I would just keep testing 2-3 times a day if it was me.

The test line usually gets as strong if not stronger than the control line if this is all new to you. I use the Premom app and easy at home tests but it might allow you to upload your own brand into it too. It helps to keep track of the days, the tests, the peak, it can also help record other data too eg when you had sex, CM.

I may just be a bit early. I conceived my second baby easily with help from tests so I understand the concept- I had a very regular cycle; 28 days and ovulated on day 16 but since birth my periods have been super irregular which definitely isn't helpful😆 thank you though- I'll take this on board x

Ah okay, I only mentioned incase but it’s great that you used them with your first. I did too.

How many cycles have you had since your first? I wonder if it will eventually regulate back to your old cycle length.

@Blue2020 he's now 8 months old and I'm still breastfeeding so not expecting them to be completely regulated yet. I'm not actually trying to get pregnant but working out when I ovulate to avoid ovulation day (and just before ovulation). X
