When to take ovulation tests

Hi everyone, I’m new to this group and only just at the beginning of our TTC journey. We are very lucky that we have our beautiful daughter who is now 15 months old, and we would like to start trying again for our next baby.
As I am still breastfeeding, I haven’t actually had a period since before I got pregnant with my daughter (September 2021). So I want to start taking ovulation tests every day to see if even though I haven’t had my period back, whether I am still ovulating or not? (No idea how it really works so please comment if this is not possible)

Anyway - when is the best time of the day to take ovulation tests? Do I just take 1 a day or multiple? They are just little strip tests that I got off of amazon.
Thank you!

Also I have seen people have an app where they upload pictures of their ovulation tests and it tracks how dark the line is for them - does anyone know what this app is called?

Hi, it says to take 2 tests a day, not the first urine of the day. Between 10am and 8pm. (One morning, one evening). And not to overly drink before testing so there is some concentration in the urine -but the strips should come with these instructions. The app is called Premom 😊 I'm at the very start of ttc for baby #2 as well.

Premom app. I would test once a day until I saw a change in the darkness of the line or until I knew I was getting close to ovulation, just to save money.

Sadly Desperate

I’ve been a step mom for over 6 years now and it seems like this year it has all went to hell. My relationship with my step kids, my feelings as a stepmom and everything else in general. I love my husband and he supports me every way he can I just don’t have anyone else in my situation that can help or understands what I’m going through. If anyone is willing to listen or just give their thoughts I would greatly appreciate it 💜

Anyone had a super early postive ?

Hi am i seeing things ? It's only 6 dpo. I had a chemical pregnancy start of February then a period then a positive ovulation strip a week ago Could this be the left over after the chemical ? It just seems so early. This is an early detection test. This came up within 2 minutes of dipping and it says to wait 3 minutes. I've taken two after that arnt as early detection but still what I think are faint positives ? All appeared withing the recommended time frames xxx

At 8DPO negative test result

At 8 DPO not even a faint line , a straight negative test . So does that means it’s a no pregnancy for me this month . Or there are future chances for hcg to rise
