Clearblue ovulation tests driving me crazy!

Clear blue digital

Hi
Started using clear blue digital this month the day after my period finished (30/10). Had flashing face 3rd nov followed by static face 4th nov. Continued testing and this morning 10th nov I have another flashing face. How can this be?
Thanks in advance

Thought I'd update

I got a bfp, can't say it was all down to using the clear blue ovulation tests or not but I think it certainly helped. Good luck to you all.

@surreygirl87. Usually when you get the static on clearblue you would expect to ovulate with 12-36 hours (at least if you go by the instructions). So I’d be dtd tonight and tomorrow if possible just to be sure....

Cheapies are the way forward. You can see the line with your own eyes.

Arghhh last month these worked great but thus month i went from low to peak (static smiley) with no flashing smiley! If I was low yesterday morning but peak today, when do I ovulate? Tomorrow? Just dtd... should j try again this eve or Tomorrow??

@charlie1234567. I’ve never needed a blood test before but can usually get a doctor appointment same day so fx!

@bubblybrit okay good shout, just make sure you thin about timings, 21 days have to be done 7days before the end of your stake, and I don't know what's it like getting a blood test where you are. I am lucky and have a walk in clinic so dinner I could go on my specific day x

Thanks @charlie1234567. Think I’m going to see how this month goes and then make a call. Even if only to put my mind at ease

@bubblybrit I stared using cheapies in the afternoons to help catch the surge. I went to the docs with 4 months f no peak and they got me a 21 day test straight away! Might be worth it to put your mind at rest!

@charlie1234567. I’ve no idea what is happening with me at the moment! Just keeping my fx that I get a static or else that will be 2 months in a row without one

@bubblybrit I got my flashing first on cd 9 this month. But last month I got flashing from cd7 to 20 with no peak! But I found out form my 21 day bloods that I didn't ovulate, so that would explain it!

@charlie1234567. When did you first get a flashing smiley? Fx that this is your lucky month.

Big fat nothing for me at the moment @snufflebabe94! I’m still waiting on the flashing smiley but only on CD14 with cycles that range from 30-36 days. So hoping that flashing smiley appears over the weekend and then static shortly afterwards? I can only hope.....glad you got your static....fx for you this month!

@bubblybrit I finally got my static today (would have been day 7 of flashing) yay! I was about ready to throw the stupid thing down the toilet! Any luck on your end yet? fx for you!

I've totally lost trust in cbafm, cd19 still no peak but getting pos opk on cheapies and when i take the clear blue stick out the monitor there are 2 clear lines on it, only thing i can thinl is my fmu misses the surge but i'm done with it anyway!

Ladies I just got my first static smilie, cd 15 on a 26 day cycle! And with evening wee???

Keep going everyone they are there somewhere

I know exactly how you feel @SparkLee! Although I’ve had the flashing smiley with fmu I’ve yet to show peak fertility (static smiley) and was starting to panic as well. Even although only on second cycle ttc! Seems the consensus is once you get flashing that perhaps you test twice per day so you don’t miss surge. I’m going to try that this month. Fx!

Thank you @bubbly that's very reassuring . Mine is usually about 30 days. I'm glad to hear there's hope for me yet! Didn't expect this ttc business to be so bloody panicky and scary!

I wouldn’t worry just yet @SparkLee. My cycles are usually 30-36 days. Didn’t get my flashing smiley last month until CD21/22

blissful ahh thank you, I obviously didn't read the instructions properly! . I will try first thing tomorrow then. This is all new to me and I expected it to be a doddle. Clearly I have so much to learn about ttc . So I don't need to be worrying quite yet that the test came back with a low chance?

@SparkLee if you're using the Clearblue the instructions say to use FMU once a day until you get the flashing then in order to catch your peak you could test more than once a day but you should hold a wee for at least 4 hours and not over hydrate.

Hope that helps

I used a CB ovulation test today for the first time. I'm on CD 15 and got a low reading :( I'm using a fertility app and it's telling me I'm highly fertile so was very surprised when the OPK came back low. Does it make a difference if you use FMU or test in evening? I'm a first time trier and very confused can someone please shed some light on my situation please? Thank you :)

@snufflebabe94. Seems to be a bit of a theme that the flashing smiley is taunting us! Fx for your static. I started testing CD10. Now CD13 and nothing! Expecting flashing shortly but holding out for static this month.

Day 7 of flashing smiley faces now... still hoping that static face is going to appear at some point.
