Anyone had 5 days of flashing smileys?
Where is my static?
I'm worried incase I miss out this month. Anyone had any experience please?

I just started to use these this month.

I had 2 days of the hollow circle. 6 days of the flashing circle and then the following day the static smiley face. I will admit that any more days of flashing smileys and I could have lost the plot. But reading back on the instructions leaflet, 5-8 days is normal in 25% of the cases for flashing smileys.

I have 11 tests left. I believe I was not to test again after the solid smiley? So can I use these with the same CB stick next month? Should have enough to see me through the cycle if it’s similar to this month.

Thanks @Anxious the 2 day one is only a static smiley -no flashing but if I need to use them again I think I will get the 4 day one you are talking about and try later in the day.

I used to get it for 6,7,8 or more days. In the end I found I had to test again in the evening to get my static - usually after about 3 days of flashing then by the following morning it would be flashing again.

@serialplanner I've never had a static from first morning urine, what I do is I use first morning urine until I get flashing, then when I have that I use it later in the day normally after 10 am

@Slippingcareer may I ask what time the day you tested? Just once? I used that kit this month and 20 tests later using FMU not one smiley face.

I used to get static on around day 6 or 7 but have gone up to 9 before! I gave up using them in the end cos of the cost and have fallen pregnant twice using just the cheapies.

I used the CB that pinpoint your 2 most fertile days and conceived my son on the first cycle using them.

Been using the CB that pinpoint the 4 most fertile days and no luck yet, have been trying for 6mths.

I've been using them the last few months and only ever had 3 max flashing days.
If you don't mind me asking, have you had any luck conceiving?

Yes the first month I used it I had 9 days of flashing smileys!

Mine eventually came on the 6th day when I'd pretty much given up on them
