I’ve been tracking my ovulation for a week, this is my first time doing this… My tests have been going up and down but today my flo app tells me i’m supposed to be ovulating… I only recently found the app, these tests are from during the week. I just logged them all at once.

That’s a lot of tests for one day! Just do one, first thing in the morning. Your results will differ depending on how concentrated your urine is, so best just to do one, first thing.

Wow that’s lots of tests! I don’t think they’re going up and down, you’re just using different tests and testing too often. Ignoring the blue ones, the green look to be steadily increasing so maybe you’ll ovulate in the next few days.

I think with some you are supposed to wait until about 1000, not first thing. I would try and do it once a day at the same time, then twice when you look like you’re about to ovulate.

Are you using the Premom app and the Premom test strips or a different brand of test strip? I think to Premom app doesn’t pick up lines on sticks that are a different brand so it won’t give you accurate readings.
Also, the ovulation hormone that it picks up rises throughout the day, so the best time to do it is between 2-8pm. I used to do one around 2:30pm and another around 5 or 6pm. You might find that you do a test one day and it’s still low and suddenly the next day you’ve got your peak - it can rise really rapidly for some people.
I’d suggest getting the Premom test strips and and app and using both. Do the tests in the afternoon. This should give you more accurate results.

That’s the problem from your update. You need to log them as soon as they’re done. Otherwise you won’t see the proper progression.

Use the same brand test strips.
I used the green ones that you’re using (if they’re from Amazon)?
test in the morning & evening, don’t leave it till the next day to upload your test
