Ovulating twice?

So I had high peak for 4 days and then peak ovulation at the beginning of May. Just tested again today and I’ve got peak. Either the test is wrong or I’ve ovulated twice?

Ovulation tests

I’m coming up to my predicted ovulation date but my ovulation tests are getting lighter instead of darker - has this happened to anyone and they still ovulated at the right time ? Or does this mean I’m not going to ovulate at all or have missed it I’m on cycle day 12 predicted ovulation in 3 days.

I have PCOS so I know that LH changes

But does this look like it was indeed my peak? I had egg white CM as well but I’m so confused as to how LH just started dropping after 3-4 hours. I thought it usually takes a whole day to drop after peak.

High progesterone but got my period??!???

Hi guys, I had my progesterone checked to see if I’ve ovulated and it was 101nmol/L which is inline with pregnancy. I got a vvfl on a test but got my period on the same day and I’ve been bleeding for 1.5 days with the usual flow and period symptoms. I’m so confused. It’s exactly like my period. Any thoughts?

I’m ovulating right?

So yesterday I did a post where I said I never see the test line darker than than control line and I now realize it’s because I was only LH testing once a day. This is my test from a few minutes ago. I’m ovulating right?
