Clear blue dual ovulation

So this month is the first time me taking the clear blue dual ovulation other months I've done the IC opks. Af is due 23rd may ( I'm hoping she doesn't arrive )

So with me taking the clear blue dual hormone I got my 1st flashing smiley yesterday so dtd last night. This morning I got another flashing smiley do I do them once a day till I get a solid smiley or when u get the flashey do u do them say 2-3 times a day does anyone know. Only asking as I'm getting a bit of pain (not sure if it's ovulation pain on my right side) and Ovia says I'm due to ovulate 10th may xx

I did mine once a day until I got my solid smiley. Then don't worry after that. It worked whilst I was on clomid and fell pregnant, although I lost the pregnancy.

Good luck x

@Shorty2014 thanks for relying I read the instructions where it said u can do it more than once a day when u start getting flashey smiley but wasn't sure. Will be dtd until I get my solid smiley xx

@Sazwest I used IC's along side CB and got a static smiley 6 days after my first flashing smiley..hang on in there! I also only did one a day x

Mummyme87 · 08/05/2017 13:40

I poas once a day using CB and also did IC OPK alongside. However this cycle I did an extra poas as I got a positive OPK and so got my static smiley face. This was the month I got my BFP 😊

Sazwest · 08/05/2017 13:41

Hopefully i will have the same luck @Mummyme87 can i ask did you DTD the night of the static smiley or the run up?

I had almost written this month off as i was on CD23 and felt the need to test and got a Positive and a static so i was glad i did!

Mummyme87 · 08/05/2017 13:55

This cycle I did CB early to mid afternoon as I was in the US, had 4 flashing smiley faces then on the 5th day I did an OPK at about 6pm and it was almost positive, did same next day and when I did the OPK on 6the day it was positive so did anexta CB which was static.
I dtd everyday of flashing smiley and on static smiley day

Solid smiley means you will ovulate in the next 12-36hrs so I would dtd again a couple of times over next 2 days. I would also keep doing your IC as that still doesn't look positive

Sazwest · 10/05/2017 09:14

Yeh I'm gonna keep doing the IC but it says on the instructions not to do anymore clear blue now I have a solid smiley is that right x x

OP posts:
Shorty2014 · 10/05/2017 16:47

Yes that's right OP Smile good luck! Get baby making. Xxx

Mummyme87 · 10/05/2017 17:00

Yep that's right, it will stay static for 48hrs

Sazwest · 10/05/2017 17:14

I I'm gonna wait till kids are in bed and take an IC see if line has gone darker: at 7.15pm it will be 12 hours since I got my solid smiley ( I've been getting on and off cramping on my right side ) with dtd this morning so will either try and do it tonight or in the morning, then the TWW starts Hmm x

Even tho I got my solid smiley this morning I did an IC opk with it that didn't look quite postive. So just done one and it's darker than this mornings. Will do another before bed I think xx

Looks darker

Sazwest · 10/05/2017 18:53

@Mummyme87 in real life it's quite dark. With me getting the solid smiley I wasn't even gonna do IC opks but have a bag full of them lol. Am I right in thinking now I've had a solid smiley I don't need to take it anymore this cycle: we are gonna dtd either tonight or 1st in the morning ( we dtd this morning ) hopefully that will be enough ( we have done it before today aswell xx

Mummyme87 · 10/05/2017 21:09

I got my static smiley in the evening so guessed I ovulated the next day and that's also when I felt ovulation pain. Difficult as you got it in the morning

Sazwest · 10/05/2017 21:14

I got pain in my right side earlier on about dinner time was on and off for a little bit xx

IME bin off anything that's not Clearblue. For me the OPKs were shit and have false readings.

The Clearblue got me pregnant on its first use. Six months of pratting about with OPKs, bah.

Shag your boots off from the point you get a flashy smiley, then shag some more when you get a static smiley. I got a static on the 27th January and got busy with it the 27,28 and 29 January.

Now 17 weeks pregnant (you do the maths).

Good luck OP xx

PretendingToBeAMuggle · 10/05/2017 21:21

Similar to legend here, pregnant off first month using clear blue after months of using OPKs.
Sex every day after flashing smiley appeared and day of solid smiley and day after Smile

Currently 34 weeks pregnant! Best of luck OP!

Sazwest · 10/05/2017 22:12

I have been using the IC opks for 3 months this is my first month using clear blue. I had 2 days of empty circle then 3 days of flashing smiley dtd 5/7/9 then got my solid smiley this morning and we dtd this morning and will be doing it either when we go to bed or in the morning, so do u think I have covered myself. @PretendingToBeAMuggle @TheLegendOfBeans xx
