CB Advanced Flashing Smiley

Hi ladies,

Just wondered who here has used the CB advanced ovulation tests and if so how many days of flashing smileys did you get before your static? I'm currently on my 4th day of a flashing smiley but getting symptoms like OV is imminent. Just wanted to see what the average time for the flashing smiley seems to be? I know everyone is different, I'm just impatient lol.

Thanks x

I got 4 days I think before a solid? I actually reviewed it for my blog and used it alongside a few other things if you want to have more Info?

@lunamoon1 last two cycles I got it it day 4. This cycle my CB actually missed it. I tested at 7.30 negative. It was my last one unfortunately. Tested at 4.30 with an ovaview Internet one and was positive. Tested again at 8.30 with a clear blue as my new pack of sticks came and my Internet cheapy and both very negative. So looks like my morning one was too early to pick up my peak and it had already dipped by 8.30pm. I'm just happy I tested with the cheaper one as I'd have thought I hadn't ovulated otherwise. Next cycle I'm going to hold off and test a bit later in the day x

@CL1982 thank you! & for your blog link too, I'm going to give it a read tomorrow 😊

This month, i got 11 days of flashing. I had all the symptoms of ovulation, pains, bloating but no EWCM. So i gave up.

A week after i last tested i noticed alot of EWCM so went out, bought the CB test (a whole 10 of them) to then get my static smiley.
Im guessing, had i of continued to test, i would of got at least another 6-7 days of a flashy smiley!

Frustration was an understatement!

Can I ask you ladies, when you eject your CB advanced stick from the holder do you have one or two lines? For the last 2 days I've had two lines of equal colour which would make me think I've had my LH surge but the holder isn't picking it up.. Any ideas?

@lunamoon1 I usually get two lines as well but not of equal colour. Instructions say to not look at the stick. I do think the CB are more sensitive and need a higher level of LH to turn static x

@Nic555 thank you😊 got my static smiley last night finally!
