Clearblue digital OPK – smiley face (peak fertility) on day 8?

[charleylarlie]

Has anybody used these and what are your experiences of them?

I?ve never been able to detect any natural signs of ovulation, so I tried unsuccessfully with the cheap ones bought on the Internet and never had any positive result from these, so started this month with the Clearblue digital ones (the newer version with the dual hormone indicator that is supposed to tell you your four most fertile days).

I only started testing yesterday on day 7 and got a low fertility result, but this morning (day 8) I got a smiley face! However, the test seems to have skipped the flashing ?high fertility? symbol and gone straight to the3 ?peak fertility? smiley face.

It just seems a bit early in the month to ovulate as the test would mean that I?d be ovulating in the next day or two (so, around day 10, I guess). Does that sound rather early? My cycle is usually 29 days, give or take a day. Or are these tests a bit inaccurate?

I'm starting to think these tests make the whole babymaking thing a lot more stressful than it already is!

Im having the same problem i wish i could get answers to this but i had a MC 4 months ago and i tested and on the first of Dec and got a peak then decided to test and today the ninth of Dec and showed a high:( According to the opk i already ovulated on the 1st but why did i get a high on the 9th??

You have to make sure that you are testing in the morning, after your longest sleep; if not, you can get unexpected positive results (i.e. false positive). It says so right in the instructions. Also, the test needs a benchmark from which to start, meaning that the first time you use it, it will be negative because it has nothing to compare to in order to register a rise in anything. If you start testing too late in your cycle, it could be possible that you have already had a rise, and so there is not a big rise between your benchmark sample and your subsequent samples. I was getting false positives but then realized that thing about taking morning samples after longest sleep. Then I started a new test, but it was already day 11, so on day 11 was negative but on day 12 jumped right to the solid happy face. So make sure that you start testing early enough in your cycle, and make sure you do it in the morning after your longest sleep. Hope this makes sense and I hope this helps!

I had a blinking smiley for 4 days straight (always testing right when I wake up), and then a fixed smiley on 5th day. Dtd for the next two days, and decided to test again the following day (today), and I'm still at peak! 3rd day of peak - and I know I'm definitely peaking because the blue bar that measures your LH hormone is stronger than ever. I attached a photo. 1/1 is the 3rd day of peak for me. Not sure if any of this info helps anyone, but posting just in case. I've also have irregular periods - have been this way since I started my cycles at age 14. Crossing my fingers for some positive news soon

Hi,

I have recently started using the clear blue ovulation kits abut I have had 3 days blank and now i'm into my 7th day of high fertility, I haven't had peak fertility and now i'm worried that the tests are not working?

I don't know what else to do as was relying on these tests :(

Hi ladies, I've been using these and this month and this morning I got my 9 th flashing face in a row.......not sure what that means. ....am I going to peak or am I not going to peak?!?!?! This is all very confusing. Anyone had the same or can shed any light on it? We have only missed a couple of days out of trying it's been every night for the past 3 weeks we have been making love just so we don't miss ovulation but the tests say I haven't yet.......!?

Thanks

FINALLY GOT A HIGH ON DAY 23!

hello ladies

I think this is the first online post Iv ever done
But just had to as Iv been ripping my hair out all month thinking I don’t ovulate
Basics- ttc 18 months , two miscarriages ,PCOS and previous over active thyroid and hormone issues when I was in my teens ( too much testosterone).aged 28

I just couldn’t pin point when I was ovulating
My cycles are between 31-35
I was thinking surely I don’t ovulate that late in the month
Low and behold I get my 1st high on day 23
After 18 sticks ! Technically it’s day 24 but the moniter for some reason starts a day late as I started my bleed at 2pm so it’s registered day 1 on the first full day of bleeding which was the day after
Anyways moral of the storey is .. stick it out girls
I know it can be upsetting when all the odds are against you .
I did my test window 0500-1100 and this has worked for me
Mucus yes as they say like raw egg whites
Hopefully I get my peak and so does everybody else
Baby dust to all 🤗

Hi ladies.

I've been using clearblue dual opk for about a week now.. I'm cycle day 19 and ovulated on 29th June according to premom app but according the femometer app I ovulated yesterday... I have been using cheap opk strips too and have constantly had high readings on those! And I've had constant blank circles on the clearblue ones...I have pcos and very absent periods...however I have fallen pregnant twice naturally so I know I must ovulate at some point I just don't know when.
My 2nd time of conceiving led to a MC at 5 weeks 2 and half weeks ago, @AS2019 you give me hope that maybe I will get a flashy face sooner or later...I just feel like nothing is helping me get a result and its abit disheartening :( i read they are more accurate for pcos, as they track the two hormones so shouldn't give false positives. Hopefully theres more good reviews on here for them.
