Morning,

I've just done some morning OPK tests and found that my CB fertility monitor is showing different results to the ICs. The ICs have been basically nil all cycle.

Which would you believe? I guess in any case I need to keep up dtd?

CB doesn’t properly if you have PCOS or other hormone conditions. Appears positive when it’s not. Have you been tested?

I don't have PCOS as far as I know. I have a regular cycle, light periods and no hair problems..
Thank you though!

I had a regular cycle and no hair problems. Was diagnosed with pcos after 2 years of CB showing positive results. It was only picked up for testing after the opk strips the NHS consultant gave me showed negative results.

@confusedbyopk I think the clear blue is more reliable, I have had two days flashing smileys one day of solid then back to negative, my IC never went fully positive though.... xx

Thank you all, it just seems weird that the CB is not showing peak but the IC definitely is.. I would have expected the opposite

Is this the first time using the digital? I heard that it takes your baseline the first few times using it, so if you either started to late with it it's reading your high as a baseline and won't trigger a positive above that.... x

Nope, been using it about six months!

From your picture i dont think you have peaked yet. I also think CB needs a higher level of LH to show as peak and that's why it hasnt yet. Id keep testing twice a day. Looks like you are close to ovulating x

Thank you. Frustrating thing about this cb monitor is that it only lets you test once a day!
