What's going on?!?!

So I had spotting last month, Feb 19 to the 22nd and if it was a very light period.. which I've never had but im also breastfeeding. I should be somewhere a round getting my next period because I usually only have 23-27 day cycles. At most I've made it 28 days and by 29, I've missed my period. Today is cycle day 28 with the spotting. I've been taking ovulation tests since then and they have been light except the past few days. And today which I thought I would be getting some kind of bleeding/spotting and I've gotten an lh surge which is throwing me off. And I just tested lh again and its even darker. Would this be ovulation or early pregnancy or just my body being all over the place? I'll put the 1st Pic of ovulation from earlier with this post and post the most recent one which was just now in the comments..I need advice as this is the 1st time I've been able to breastfeed this long with my 2nd daughter.

It could be either or, breastfeeding can mess with hormones anyway meaning your ovulation could be delayed as your cycle trys regulating. I would say to take a pregnancy test just to make sure

Two thoughts.. first, take a pregnancy test just in case... and second, many women have "break through bleeding" right around 6 weeks which isn't an actual cycle.. could it be that those few days of spotting was that, and now you're ovulating for your actual first cycle? 🤔

Strong positive early on

I got a digital clear blue positive early on, 3 days before my period was due and consistently dark lines already on daily easy@home tests(period was due 2 days ago) without any symptoms (though I have had a head cold). When I previously had chemical pregnancies with weaker test results I did have nausea. Wondering if I can tell anything from this, eg does it point towards twins or anything like that?

Bridesmaids excitement

Last week I posted about needing bridesmaids and was SOOOOO excited that so many people reached out. All I needed was 3-4 girls…. Reality hit HARD though. 60+ comments, 40+ “connections” and only ONE person has been consistent enough with responses. What happened to all the support ? I am genuinely confused by this 🤣 especially knowing that I was willing to pay for damn near everything if they couldn’t, on top of actually paying them a lump sum. Why comment publicly saying you’ll support, just to ignore me privately ? It’s not like it was short notice either…. The wedding is 14 months away 😂 14 months to create a lasting friendship with a fellow, local mom as well. Wasn’t just going to have you be a bridesmaid and that’s it!? This was to also build a friendship! Shoutout to the one girl who is actually sticking by her comment !! 💕

TTC with PCOS

I newly found out that I have PCOS and have been unable to get pregnant. I’m taking Letrozole, but haven’t started ovulating yet. I’m 22 and desperately want a baby. Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations?

Pregnant or no?

Pic taken within the timeframe test allows but line so light and it’s the day my period should come (so shouldn’t mine be darker)?

Advice around ovulation

I have really not been thinking about trying for baby no.2, then all of a sudden had the urge. For context, we got pregnant with no.1 first try by having sex in the fertile zone laid out by my app.

So, I had sex on day 14 of my normally 29day cycle. App said that was a strong day. I had a bit of a panic out our hasty decision the following day (yesterday) and bought some ovulations strips. I tested twice yesterday and once today, and there appears to be no surge. Apps suggest my ovulation should have been today. Can anyone help me guess what might be happening? Might I have missed the surge? Might it be coming later? Have I probably had sex the wrong day for conception if so?
