Breastfeeding + faint LH tests… am I ovulating or not?

Hi everyone! This is completely new for me but hoping to get some advice.

I’m still breastfeeding my 14-month-old and my periods came back about 4 months ago. I’ve been using LH strips to try and track ovulation, but they’ve all been pretty faint so far.
My app says I should have ovulated already, but there’s been no obvious peak. Could I still be ovulating later than expected, or is it possible I’m just not ovulating yet because of breastfeeding?

I’ll attach a pic of my tests so far. Would love to hear from anyone who’s been in the same boat thanks!

I would keep testing as it looks like they are getting darker.

When TTC #1 I ovulated around D11-13, but now I'm TTC #2 and I've ovulated anywhere from D15-20 and I think breastfeeding is delaying it. Last month I cut down on the feeds a bit (DD1 has turned 2 and I'm ready to stop!) and my ovulation was the earliest yet!
