Sooooo confused!! Any help??

Beth

This is the first month my SO and I have been TTC. I bought some ovulation strips to try and figure out when during my cycle I ovulate. Typically I have a short cycle of 24 days. It has been like that for years. My last day of my period was 1st Feb. The app told me I should ovulate around the 8th. I have been using my strips daily since my period ended and I got a positive on the 5th. Then on the 6th it started getting lighter again. Is this too early in my cycle to ovulate? I really don’t understand. I will keep testing and see if it keeps getting lighter. If anyone has advice I would appreciate it 🙌🏻🙏🏻
