No LH surge

I’ve had clear and stretchy and clear and run CM the last few days.

I don’t know how to read temps yet. Tracking though.

My ovulation strips have all been faint. I’ve been testing morning, lunch time, and evening and they all look the same.

Is it possible to have a bold surge just before ovulation without the strips progressing?

Yesterday and the day before I was having light ovulation pains (I think). Could the strips be wrong. Could the CM and pain mean that ovulation is actually a few days away from the symptoms?

Please help. I’m like terrified that my body is trying to ovulate, but can’t— which explains the symptoms without the surge.
