CB ovulation tests

Hey ladies! Talk to me, how many days did you get flashing smiling faces, before the static? And are you testing more than once a day once you have the flashing smiley? I am doing both CB and my strip tests. However the strip tests seem so low. Worried they are dud!
I got the first flashing smiley yesterday and now today. I saw some reviews that people have had flashing smiley faces for 9 days and then test stopped working.. xxx

Hi @Luna0905 👋ergh I'm not good, I'm stressed right out! I'm worrying I'm not ovulating at all this month! 😔
Aww honey! I'm sorry that AF has arrived! That sucks! I'm sending you hugs too! Xxxx

I don’t think it’s that uncommon not to ovulate on random months but it’s really rubbish when TTC.

My sis tracks her BBT and does OPKs normally and she doesn’t think she ovulated this month, she has 2 kids and had no fertility issues, I think it’s just one of those things that happens sometimes.

hang in there lovely, I know it’s so rubbish when t

Hey @Floralsandsmiles how are you? I count my cycle from the first day of proper flow so that could be putting your dates out. I know it’s easier said than done but try not to worry too much as that can also affect your cycle and sending hugs lovely 🤗
Af has showed up today so I’m out for this month 😩xxx

I am on day 10 of flashing smiley face and I am so depressed! I'm also worried that because I counted my AF from the first day's of spotting, its maybe calculated my CD wrong? So I could be CD18 not CD21? Either way I'm guessing I haven't ovulated 😩😩😩😩 xxxx

@NWnature I use the Flo app and put it down as positive when I get a static smiley as it then calculates ovulation as being the following day and a pop up will tell me ovulation is coming in the next 24-48 hrs!
AF arrived for me a day a day late so was getting my hopes up 😩 but onto the next cycle we go!

NWnature · 25/02/2023 17:22

Good luck for the FRER tomorrow @Luna0905 xx

Hey guys, if you get the static smiley do you put that day or the next day into your app as ovulation day? I got the static on Friday 17th so put ovulation in to Premom as the 18th. On that basis I’m 8DPO today. I caved and weed on a cheapo this morning and it was starkly negative but I guess it’s still early days. Sending everyone who is still waiting good luck xxxx

Hey, I always put the next day as ovulation day but I always keep in mine that it could have been the following day so I guess you could be 7 or 8 dpo today? If that makes any sense 😂 8dpo is still early for testing. I’m supposed to be 12dpo today and still showing BFN on a cheapie test. I guess it could be 11dpo in which case it is still early for me too. AF due on Monday for me but going to do an FRER tomorrow xxx

I’m sure it is coming but hopefully it comes soon for your sanity!
It could be too early, DH pointed out this morning that might only be 10dpo if ovulation took longer than 24 hours. So crossing everything that it could be too early. I’m going to try and wait until Sunday or Monday to test again xxx
