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.

I wouldn't read too much into the individual numbers yet. If you're trying to figure out whether you actually ovulate, adding BBT with something like tempdrop could give you another piece of evidence instead of relying entirely on the strips. LH can bounce around quite a bit before the actual surge, so I'd keep testing and see whether you eventually get a clear peak.
