Clear Blue Smiley Confusion!

So yesterday I got my first ever fixed smiley (dual hormone) in the year we've been trying. I was so excited and late for work that I left the stick in the device and tucked it away to show DP later. Now usually in the past, if I left the stick in the device, it was just switch off until I ejected later. But when I got back, the smiley was still there and stay there even when I ejected the stick... And left it for a few hours.

Now I'm worried that it was a false smiley. Anyone else had this?

I seem to remember it keeps the smiley on display longer than the other symbols so this may be normal? Do you still have the leaflet?

thats happened to me...still there 2 days later , perhaps 3 wtf???//

That's understandable but it was like that for a good 12hours. And then I took it apart I'm definitely my fathers daughter lol took the battery in and out and now has an error code.

I looked at the booklet but it didn't say anything about the smiley. Just the error code. Hmm

I just used one of the sticks from the dual hormone kit in an old monitor for the normal digital (pink one) and that just came up with a smiley too, but last night I did that an just got a clear circle. So I'm using a ic opk I don't think they work for me

Yesthe fixed smiley stays on for two days.

Usually the first stick you always get a clear circle, because iT uses that first one as a base line, to judge whether your oestrogen or lh are rising later on.

i left it in for a little longer by accident but the positive sign is still there!!!! ...perhaps its faulty???

No it is normal that it stays on for 2 or 3 days. You won't need to use it until after your AF again anyway.

Lol I have figure this all out now. I feel like an idiot as I emailed cb haha

It is bcos I've never ever had a smiley on my cb or a + opk. And I was going to work at the time of testing so I was just so happy. Then when I got home I was so busy packing and squeezing in a quick dtd sesh, that I forgot to bring the instructions.

Oh well, luckily in my wash bag I had an old monitor for the cb opk (pink) and I used the sticks from the advanced cb opk (purple) and got another smiley which put my mind at ease a bit more :)
