To be honest as soo. As I first saw the flashing I was testing 3 times a day with both cheap and clear blue. I didn't want to miss it 😂😂

Well the these ones steps are hit and miss as sometimes they seem faulty, like the dye isn’t strong enough but haven’t been testing much with them, once a day as thought these clear blue would pick up quicker? I’m testing twice with clear blue.. once in the morning then late afternoon..
the lines in the clear blue look slightly darker than yesterday’s (if that’s even anything to go by) if I’m getting a smiley does that mean I’m at least fertile? Lol.. these have made me even more Paranoid 😂 I’m gonna do an opk shortly (cheapy) as you are meant to test after 10.30 with those aren’t you? I done one this morning anyway just to see if a second line came up xx

How long have you left the cheap opks for results. Mine always look faint on first 2 mins but get a lot darker between about 3-5 mins

claireb707 · 27/10/2019 08:48

Oh and I would ignore what the app says.... I'd be testing multiple times a day

claireb707 · 27/10/2019 08:47

I ways get flashing in the morning as well as faint lines on cheapy tests. Have you tested in afternoon / evening as well?

Hi girls still a flashing smiley and my opks are just faint lines.. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m even more confused than ever this cycle 😐 apparently by my app I’m due to ovulate tomorrow.. but my cycles are only around 26 days so surely this should be happening by now??

@claireb707 I have some cheapy ones so I’ll try them first later around 1 and if it’s strong I’ll give it ago :) thank you! X

I'd be testing multiple times if you have a flashing smiley. Although cbd say test with fmu your peak is normally in the afternoon so if you only test in the morning then you'll miss it

@Lauraliverpool still a flashing smiley so that’s good 🙂 Hoping I ovulate soon.. do you think I should be testing twice a day or just fmu okay? Xx

OP posts:
Lauraliverpool · 25/10/2019 18:17

And definitely more when you get the solid smiley face too!

Lauraliverpool · 25/10/2019 18:16

@Sunflower2019 did you hold your wee for a couple of hours? The hormones are more concentrated if you hold your wee for a while, the flashing smiley indicates the test has detected a rise in estrogen this is displayed until the test detects the lh surge which occurs prior to ovulation. Try and baby dance if you can as you've got a increased chance of getting pregnant when you get the flashing smiley face. Xx

@Sunflower2019 think it can depend on your cycle length this is the second day I'm using them and I've got a flashing smiley face and the cycle before I had like 3 days of flashing smiley face then the solid smiley face. I prefer using these cause then you're not trying to analyse the lines on the cheapy tests. They give you an idea what's going on. Xx
