Ovulation test newbie!

[Loz1093]

Hi all. TTC #3 and I've never used ovulation tests before.
No.1: took a year to conceive, it was during lockdown and was in the mindset it'll happen when it happens.
No.2: first cycle-extremely lucky!
No.3 cycle: 3/4 (can't quite remember) but my periods seem a little all over the place this time.
My last cycle was 44 days long, now on day 11 following a normal period and I've just done my first test. Which was reading 0.29 on my app (low chance)
My random question really are, how often should I test ?
Could it be low for a few days with the same reading and literally peak the next day?
Does the low readings mean I've missed my chance?

Sorry for the strange questions. You'd think third time round I'd know it all 😂

This is from my app

Personally I test once a day until it starts either getting darker or I get two days from my earliest ovulation cycle day. Ie my earliest had been CD 13 so I start twice a day at around 10/11. For me this is also usually around the time the EWCM starts.

If you don't know what is average yet just maybe do two a day from now just to get used to it. Good luck!
