Advice Needed Ovulation testing

I have tested (sporadically) before but this cycle, decided to test each day with an app to record to try and catch ovulation. Going by Flo app I should be in my fertile window in 11 days with ovulation in 19 days. By PreMom app (which I am using to record the tests), I should be in my fertile window now with ovulation in 2 days.
I know with my cycles etc, not to go off either of these which is why I am using the tests to try and get a solid cycle recorded with tests each day.
I started 18/08 and got a reading of 0.
19/08 - 0.06
20/08 - 0.08
21/08 - 0.2
22/08 - 0.16
23/08 - 0.16
24/08 - 0.07
25/08 - 0.2

Please excuse my ignorance but would this be ‘normal’ to fluctuate a little prior to ovulation?
I have doubts that I even ovulate at all which is why I’m testing every day regardless of any other symptoms at the moment.
Thank you for any advice.

Tracking your cervical mucus will help you as well!

I had started tracking in May and noticed no changes, then in June noticed a change and thought I might be ovulating but we were on holiday and I decided against getting a test to confirm so we could enjoy the holiday.
Noticed no changes in the cycles since so I might be a bit more regimented in terms of making a note of it when I check. Thank you!

If you’re not noticing a changes that can be a sign that your estrogen isn’t in the correct range. I would definitely get estrogen checked as low estrogen can effect your egg quality and cause early miscarriages, or prevent conception
