Opk confusion

[Presh12345]

So I'm using clear blue opk for the first time. Currently on day 10 of cycle and have been using since day 6. My cycle is only 24 days. I had a bit of EWCM yesterday (not loads) but I keep getting a round circle ie negative. Is this normal?

Ive read that the clear blue ones aren't the best to use i use the cheap Opk sticks from eBay which are way better apparently the clear blue brand has a dodgy smiley face or something and it misses the window

Is it the dual or pinky one you are using?

Do you use first morning urine?

Yes I use FMU and I'm still getting a round circle. I thought the clear blue ones were supposed to be good but I'm starting to get disheartened now....again.

Still just a circle today. Wondering if these sticks are even working as have had loads of EWCM today and yesterday.

So did a bit of googling (while i was lying there after dtd!!!) and loads of people advised that you don't use FMU with clear blue ovulation tests. So I just did another stick and the smiley face is there. It's 18.00 where I am. So glad I haven't missed it. But what if it was from yesterday maybe and I've missed 24hrs already??

Id use the cheap opk sticks from now on ive heard the Clearblue pregnancy tests are just as bad for not working. So long as you have sex every other day you'll still have as much chance of been pregnant as any other month
