Have I ovulated this month? Peak identified but below T/C ratio of 1

Do you think I've ovulated?

I've been TTC since last year. I have also lost over 32kg (5 stone) since April. When I first took ovulation tests last year and earlier this year, I could never catch a peak and the result always read 'low' no matter what time of day or time of the month I tested.
In the past few months now my weight is lower I am noticing egg white discharge and an increase in my sex drive every month, just after midway through my cycle.
Last month I caught my first ever 'high' result, but it was just one test that was high.
This month I've had several 'high' tests in a row going up to a T/C ratio of 0.83 yesterday.
The Premom app has identified this as my 'peak', but is it high enough for ovulation to occur? I thought that a positive result was anything over a T/C ratio of 1.
Any thoughts or advice would be helpful :-)

I have this app and find it difficult to read. I would look at just the colour alone. For it to be peak, it needs to be the same colour as or darker than the control line, which yours is. Before all these fancies apps, we just had to rely on our eyes. You’ve also been measuring your other symptoms such as CM. Amazing achievement on your weight loss too 👏

I'd say keep testing a day or two to make sure it's going down. I peak quickly so I have a very short window of highs or peaks, it's easy to miss. When it starts increasing, I'd do two tests in a day. I found using BBT and ovulation sticks together helpful - the BBT confirmed ovulation, in so as far as we can know at home. And it sounds like you're figuring out your CM. Well done on the weight loss

Your peak doesn't have to be over 1 - I got pregnant on a cycle with a 0.78 peak. If it keeps going down now that was probably your peak but do keep testing to make sure.

Thanks so much, this is really helpful and has made me feel much better and hopeful! I will keep testing.
