Newbie seeking advice re: OPK test getting dark now faint!!

[prickly]

Hi ladies,
Am new to this site and seeking advice from some more knowledgeable ladies!

Have been ttc number 2 for some time...have a 10 year old from prior relationship and my partner has two kids from prior relationship also.
Had a m/c at 10 weeks some months ago and since then my cycles have returned to regular 30 days. have been doing OPK's but am confused!!
Here is what I have had this months cycle and can someone offer any advice??? I am currently on Day 13....and wondered if I have missed my surge / ovulation??!!!
Day 11 Sunday - EWCM and a faint line on the OPK at 2pm (will upload photos asap);
Day 12 (yesterday) EWCM and then watery cm later that day and a nearly as dark line on OPK at 2pm, however this was followed by only a faint line on OPK at 8.30pm that same evening!????
we had at 5.30pm on Day 12 (just to be sure)!!
Day 13 (today) and have had dry cm / tacky cm all day and only faint / getting fainter lines on the OPK!!
Have I missed my surge? Has my timing been off????
I have started taking pregnacare vits and folic acid again for the first time this month...could this have lengthened my luteal phase / shortened my period cycle??
I am so confused and would appreciate your advice!!
Thanks

Oh and forgot to add....last night around midnight until 4am I had hot flushes and cramping - similar to the usual ovulation pains I get....down one side of abdomen....was so uncomfortable it woke me up...
today some light cramping this morning...but since then nothing more....
hmm..............

The photos go from top left to top right then bottom left to bottom right, in date order...first photo top left is day 12 afternoon....then day 12 early evening...then day 13 morning...day 13 evening...then today day 14 at 10am!!

What on earth

Think, after reading through lots of your posts on here, all saying similar things....I am just gonna keep testing and keep
Hopefully something will work!!

Hi again ladies.....can anyone share any advice??

Here are my two OPK tests done today (day 14)...the one from this morning is definately fainter I feel and compared to yesterday and the day before the lines have again gone darker...not there yet I feel...but I am confused as my cm dried up yesterday and have had to start taking Guanefisin cough meds again late last night to start to thin / loosen my cm again....its now gone back to watery!???

WOO HOO!!!
Just tested for second time today - here it is....started my surge...2pm...(the line looks even darker in reality - my phone does not capture the line's true degree of darkness that good on photo....
This is as dark as my OPK tests ever go...and I know I am surging as my ovaries are going mental! crampy ov pains, horrid tugging and pinching 2 inches under my belly button....so I just hope I will ovulate soon today...I had last night at 5.30pm...and will again later tonight with DP...he thinks its great and all his birthday's have come at once at mo!!
I have to agree with other posts on here, that perhaps our bodies really do gear up to ovulate and then can't...but then gear up for it again within a week - this certainly fits my pattern this cycle given the OPK tests went darker then lighter and now darker again....fingers crossed for this month for me ladies!!
