You’re supposed to ovulate once within your monthly cycle, usually around 14 days after your period. I used to test from day 5 after my period until the end of the cycle or until I got a positive ovulation result.
Also make sure you’re using clear blue or something that you can trust.

I never managed to identify when I ovulate :(

part of the issue is that I have periods every 3-6 months

same here crazy pcos

i was in the same boat so bought an OvuSense sensor which I wear every night like a tampon. It measures BBT and tells you when you’re ovulating.

Oh wow! I didn't know this was a thing. I'll have a look

I was also going long stretches without ovulating so went to a private fertility clinic and they've prescribed me Metformin and Letrozole. Now I ovulate predictably, but haven't got pregnant yet

Do you sometimes feel like people are having kids for all the wrong, selfish reasons??

I had an old friend tell me that she’s trying to get pregnant because she wants a girl so she can do her hair and she’s “excited to buy cute baby girl clothes” and be able to “have a best friend”. Like sure that’s cool, but also babies are not toys lol. They are expensive and eventually become adults who didn’t ask to be here and will have to deal with the fawked up, failed system we birthed them into and hope to God they’re smart enough to make a real difference.
