Baby dancing on the wrong day!?

So I’ve been TTC for three months this now. I’m new to this, my other pregnancies were like BOOM pregnant. So I am new to ovulation tracking but this whole time I’ve been making sure to baby dance when LH is the highest but I recently learned that you ovulate 24 hours after that. So now I feel like I might have been...
