Ovulation Tests

Okay y’all, so i took an ovulation test last monday, which was a faint line. and then again on Thursday, which was a darker line than the control line. and then one today, which is lighter than the control line but darker than the first one.. I’ve never gotten a positive test until last week. We’re trying to have a baby and we haven’t been “safe” for the last year or so. I’ve been off birth control since I was 20 and I’m 23 now.

I took a pregnancy test last week and it said negative. I haven’t noticed any signs other than being a little more moodier than normal and I’ve had some cramping but it’s just like pressure (lightest pressure ever)

Could it just be that I tested too early? I saw some people use ovulation tests as pregnancy tests because the hormones are so a like. But should I try to test again in a few weeks or so?

I like drinking (who doesn’t) but I don’t want to hurt a baby if there’s on in there.

Help me please 😂😂
