Help needed! Understanding LH vs symptoms vs temp

I'm looking for some help if possible, trying to pinpoint when ovulation was or if it even happened!

Short back story: I have been trying to get pregnant for 20 months. First 14 months, I had 4 losses overall: ectopic, early loss at 8wks, medically managed missed miscarriage at 14 weeks, and another very early loss. I used to get pretty clear results from LH tests as to when I ovulated (although slightly changing cycle length, approx 30-35 days).

Since my last loss, 6 months ago, my LH tests have been inconclusive and never reaching as high as before. But, I'm now getting cramps every month which I assume is ovulation. Highest result I get is around 0.8

This cycle, I have had cramps and diarrhoea for 5 days. In my opinion, based on CM and the feel of the cramps, I ovulated on Tuesday or Wednesday. But I got my highest LH reading (0.81) Thursday morning.

I had a temp spike yesterday, but has dropped back down today. I'll attach photos of the temps and ovulation tests - any advice or opinions greatly appreciated! It's more a case of understanding what's happening at this point rather than expecting a successful pregnancy.

Thank you!

I don't tend to read the numbers on the tests as I feel like they are never accurate (for example your lows recording at .5 are my highs that read and .8 colourwise)
But by the look of your ovulation tests and the raise in your temp you ovulated on day 21
Your lh strips suggest the surge happened day 20 which then allows for egg release 12-24 hours after that, then the raise in temp suggests ovulation occurred on day 21.
Hope that helps
