Ovulation question related to pregnancy

We’re trying for baby three so you think I would know by now LOL, a few weeks ago I went off the yaz birth control pill as we decided to start trying. This was about 10 days into the pill pack...
I bought ovulation strips and started peeing on them because I was told that stopping the pill mid pack can bring on ovulation and sure enough, last Wednesday, the strip turned positive. I also had extra vaginal mucus. I thought I was doing the two week wait when lo and behold, today, the ovulation strips once again turned blaringly positive. I am, what I think to be, eight days past ovulation...I have super tender breasts, and i’ve had a twinge in my lower abdomen almost like gas for the last few days.
Either I never ovulated eight days ago, and I’m about to ovulate or I have early onset pregnancy symptoms and maybe the ovulation test is picking it up? I took a pregnancy test this morning which was completely negative.
Has anyone else been in the same boat?
Are tender breasts a sign of ovulation?

Re: Ovulation question related to pregnancy
Ovulation tests are less sensitive to pregnancy than any HPT so if you took a pregnancy test and it was negative, you must be having an LH surge. That being said, we don’t typically post one-off threads like this. You will get better responses if you read the newbie guide at the top of the page, lurk to see how we do things here, intro on this week’s newbie thread, and post your question on one of the established threads (minus asking if you could be pregnant, directly or indirectly, which is against the terms of use).

please read the pinned posts at the top of the board and introduce yourself on the newbie thread for this week.
we don’t do one-off posts here because it clutters the board, this would be a good question for the daily threads (wto/tww) or the chart stalk/questions thread.
Also, we use trigger warnings when talking about other children/past pregnancies
To answer your question, it’s generally recommended to not stop birth control mid-pack as it can severely mess with your cycle. So really, anything is possible. You should start temping and charting.
feel free to join us in the community, we give support to get support and don’t treat each other like google, if you do happen to be pg, please move on to your bmb and do not update us here. Thank you.
Edit: my eyes are bad
What @konoha said about stopping mid pill pack.... I never understand why people do that. Just chill and let your cycle do its thing.
