Ovulation testing, is this normal?

So I've been ovulation testing the past few days, attached in the photo is my results of each test which I have uploaded via Premom app.

Does this look ok? According to the app I had my peak yesterday and today when I've tested its showing a low result, is that normal? I haven't done ovulation testing before.

Me and my partner have been dtd frequently, on some days prior to my peak too so I'm not sure if they'll count

I suppose I best keep myself busy for the tww.

Hey! That looks very much like my ovulation test progression the month we conceived. Slight build up to peak and then by the next day much lower.
I think they can vary from person to person some having a rapid drop like this or a slightly more gradual one over a day or two. It’s also good that you tested AM and PM as sometimes you can miss the peak if you only test once a day.
As long as you ttc the few days before, day of and usually the day after a positive test you should be covered. Sperm can live on average 5 days inside you, so the days leading up to ovulation are good days to try.
I read that the egg only survives 24 hours so any time after that and it’s too late.
We dtd the day before, on and after a positive ovulation and that seemed to do the trick! It also helped that I was tracking my basal temperature so when I had that increase in temperature two days after the ovulation test, I knew I’d ovulated.

@Pizzaandsushi

Thanks so much for your comment 😊

I read that too about the 5 days for sperm living. We have dtd 20th, 21st, 24th, 25th, 28th & 29th.

Hopefully some baby dust comes our way, ttc our 3rd and final baby 🤞

@allthingssparkly good luck!! From the sounds of it and looking at your tests, you’ve covered good dates so fingers crossed! 🤞🏽
