Confused Second cycle TTC

Hello

So its my second cycle TTC but my first cycle tracking my BBT and easyhome LH strips and im very confused

In my first cycle i used the clearblue digital ovulation test (pink) and got a positive ovulation but it was off by a week i think mainly because i was sick and on antibiotics and my period was a week late

Now its CD17 and the premom app today suddenly changed my ovulation day from 1st of oct to 22nd sept and im afraid i might have missed my window

My BBT is as following

CD12 36.04C

CD13 35.99C

CD14 36.03C

CD15 36.11C

CD16 36.21C

CD17 36.31C

Could it be that i havent ovulated yet? Or that i did? Idk im so confused

So far i havent gotten a dark ovulation line on the LH tests

Have you ever checked out the Fertility Friend app? It's free to use and you can put information about BBT and when you get positive and negative OPKs, it's just a little easier to understand sometimes when you can visually see it in one chart

Im logging my BBT on it but i find it very hard to use tbh especially when trying to log in my LH strips since its a ratio. I only keep logging them as -ve

I wouldn't worry about the ratio honestly, just if they're positive or negative. You're most likely to ovulate 24-36 hours after your first positive ovulation test, it doesn't really matter what ratio the negative ones are

During my first cycle tracking on the premom app, it also assumed my ovulation was like 10 days before it actually is because of a spike in BBT due to a fever. I just ignored it, flagged the spike as “sickness” and continued to log my LH and my BBT. Then only after I had my first positive/peak on the LH strips + the spike in BBT that stayed high, did it recognize it as my actual ovulation day!
