This is my second month using an OPK (clearblue digital that tells you when you are both high and peak fertility). Last month I didn't get a high fertility sign at all (flashing smiley face), it just went straight to peak fertility (fixed smiley face). This was on day 12 which was a couple of days earlier than expected but still seemed normal.
I only finished my period a couple of days ago but started using the opk straight away as my cycles vary a bit (26-30 days). Today (day 8) I got a high fertlity sign. Surely this is too early?
So, we had sex last night just for fun rather than baby making but now I'm thinking should we do it again tonight as I got the high (but not peak) fertility sign or shall we just start doing it every other day until I get the peak fertility smiley face. I don't want to exhaust DH and his swimmers but don't want to miss the window either.

Advice re OPK please-very early smiley face

Just catching up with this thread. Had a busy few days so not been able to MN.
Great that you got your peak eventually, BNmum. When do you think you'll poas? My AF's not due for another fortnight yet (still a bit concerned that my ov seemed very early, but we shall see).
Sorry you've not had your peak smiley yet, Bambi. I would have thought though, that the flashing smiley would have disappeared if you'd past ov though. I wonder you've got a faulty CB digi? It's a bit annoying as they're expensive and meant to take the guess work out of ov, particularly if, like me, you're really not in touch with your body's signals. At least you've dtd plenty, so hopefully you've caught ov anyway.
It's all so uncertain, isn't it? We spend so much time trying to get the timing right and then so much time waiting and symptom watching. I'm trying not to pay any attention to any pg symptoms I may get over the next fortnight, as the other month I convinced myself that I had pretty much every one and was really shocked when bfn! I even managed to convince myself for a week afterwards that the test was wrong. 
I've signed up with ovufriend too, in an attempt to try to chart my cycle better. If I get bfn this month I think I might buy a thermometer too. Yet another expense!
I haven't had any symptoms yet, either, but not entirely certain when I ovulated either - could be between last Thursday and Sunday - if the opks are correct. With DS I had implantation bleeding and tingly nipples, oh and oddly my eczema completely disappeared! Am trying not to notice anything unless it's staring me in the face though as I have an active imagination - the other month I even managed to convince myself I had a metallic taste in my mouth, amongst myriad other symptoms! Good luck ladies, let's keep each other posted!
