Weird flashing smiley shenanigans

I use the Clearblue dual hormone tests and have always found them to be accurate. Peak smileys will align nicely with CM followed by BBT shift a couple of days later.

I had an early miscarriage at about 5.5 weeks in Jan. It was all over pretty quickly and after checking that I had both a negative Clearblue digital and a FRER, we decided to start trying again immediately.

Since CD13, I have had flashing smileys taking the piss out of me every morning (if you'll excuse the pun). I am now CD22 and I'm still getting them. No peak. I usually have a 26 day cycle and ovulate around CD15. I realise that a miscarriage can throw things out of whack and that it's possible for your ovulation to be delayed. HOWEVER, my BBT has been steadily rising for the past 6 days or so. It's creeping up every day. Fertility Friend and I are both inclined to think that I have already ovulated. So why am I still getting flashing smileys?

Has anyone had any similar experiences? Thanks!

Yeah I’ve had 12 days of flashing smileys before then got my peak, sounds like you may be ovulating late this month. It costs a lot but you can test in the evening too to catch your surge x

You may have missed your surge, CB tests can sometimes do this if you are only testing first thing in the morning. Other possibility is an anovulatory cycle but if your temps suggest ovulation then probably not.

Similar story here. Had emc at around the same time. Usually ovulate day 17, had flashing smileys until day 21 and finally got solid smiley today. Not sure whether I've actually really ovulated or my body is playing tricks!

I'm now CD24 and on my 11th day of flashing smileys! And my BBT has done another big jump this morning.
