Ovulation HELP!

[imnewtothis]

So I have the clearblue advanced digital ovulation test kit, once you get the high (flashy smiley) do I then start testing twice a day like you do with the cheap tests? Used them last month but didn't get a peak :(

I use the same tests - I just test every morning. Once I’ve had a flashing smiley, I make sure to test first thing in the morning and have sex at least every other day! I don’t think it’s necessary to test more than once a day with them. Plus, the flashing smiley face means peak ovulation hopefully isn’t too far off, so regular sex and then it won’t matter too much if you “miss” seeing the peak fertility result. Good luck 😘

Thanks for the reply! Cycle day9 today so started testing yesterday, hopefully I get a peak this month :) fingers crossed for both of us x

Good luck OP! I’ve been TTC for over a year now, unfortunately have been diagnosed with PCOS and so have really irregular cycles!
Have been getting flashing smiley faces for a few days now too, so keeping everything crossed! X

Hopefully you with get your static smiley in the next few days lots of baby dancing for you! Keep me updated :) x

Thanks! And you too - let me know how it goes xx

@amysara24 I got my first flashy smiley today! Have you tested?

Yay!! Congrats! A flashy smiley here too! Though I’m wondering if the Clomid is responsible for it as I’ve been getting them for a while. Either way - baby dancing for us and fingers crossed 🤞🏽 nice having someone else in the same position xx

I bought the 20 pack this time so I had more tests as I had lots of flashy last month, I'm also giving SMEP a go this month xx

What’s SMEP? Sorry I’m not up with all these acronyms! I’m currently on my last few tests from my 3rd box of 20.. it’s expensive too this TTC malarkey 😂 x

I've just added the think to SMEP I'm pretty sure it's just having sex every other day, it really it :/

@amysara24 another flashy smiley today -.- how are you getting on?

@imnewtothis exactly the same! I feel like I’ve been getting them all week so could be inaccurate. Though I’ve been having little pains like popping ovaries this afternoon so who knows 🤷🏽‍♀️ Plenty of baby dancing just incase 🤞🏽

I've got my solid smiley today yay! How are you? How is everything going xx

@amysara25

Ahh amazing that’s great! I ran out of sticks and so don’t know 🤦🏽‍♀️ According to an online ovulation predictor calendar (and my Clomid days) I’m about 8dpo now though.. but it’s hard to tell with being so irregular! AF would be due next week so I suppose I’ll find out soon enough, and prepare to do it all over again..

@imnewtothis

@amysara25 I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, when are you going to test?

@imnewtothis thank you! I’ve sort of been testing occasionally just incase, yesterday I thought I saw the beginning of something so posted a picture for opinions and most agreed. I’m going to get a FRER today for tomorrow, but this is from this morning. What do you think?

@amysara25 I think I see the start of something, fingers crossed! Hopefully the FRER will be clearer tomorrow xx

@imnewtothis thank you 🤞🏽 FRER in for tomorrow. So so nervous about taking it as I feel like it’ll be a definite answer and my luck hasn’t been good so far x
