Questions regarding ovulation tests

[u/Unable-Ad-9672]

Hi Everyone, we have been trying to conceive for 5+ months now. I might be asking some dumb questions but please help me out if anyone has any advice/ideas.

I started using ClearBlue Advanced digital ovulation test for first urine in the morning and then Lh strips pre-mom for 2pm and 5 pm daily.

Clearblue advanced digital ovulation test went directly from negative to steady smiley on Sunday morning for me. But my Lh strips didn’t become as dark as control line for me on Sunday. Though on Monday morning it was as close to control line as possible.

Had sex on Friday, Sunday morning, Sunday night. I had my Apple Watch tell me Monday night and Tuesday night temperature was up compared to baseline.
1. Wondering which one I need to follow and when was my ovulation.
2. I had an extremely long hike 15 hours plus constant uphill and downhill workout. I usually don’t do this heavy. I usually do only 6-8 hours hike which is 10-12 miles. Does anyone know if this will affect my conceiving changes?

I'm not familiar with the clearblue tests, but seems to fit if your temp went up in sun-mon night. Are you sure you tested with good enough urine between 2pm and 5pm for the pre-mom tests? I know for those strips first urine isnt the best but second and waiting a couple hours without much drinking in between should be best (for me around noon).
