Help...Clearblue Fertility Monitor reading low...

It is my first cycle using the monitor and I am on day 13 of my cycle and still testing low. I am using apps and I have always used them to judge when I ovulate and they are suggesting tomorrow.

Also, I have used the Clearblue advanced ovulation tests previously and have always got a smiley face.

I am confused as I thought I would have had a high reading by now. Am I being too inpatient? Has anyone had this and then gone onto have a high or a peak? My cycle usually lasts around 27/28 days.

Keep testing. You could be ovulating very late and then getting a period "too close" to ovulation. Or perhaps you have months when you don't ovulate. Testing twice a day close to when you 'think' you will ovulate may help to pinpoint the timing. Some women have very short ovulation peaks. There are a lot of possibilities but you won't know where you stand with regard to your cycle until you do a few months of testing.

I have been using Clearblue advanced ovulation tests for the past 5 months and have always ovulated and got a peak. This is why this is strange.

I am only testing once a day as I have the advanced monitor and it won't let you test twice. I haven't any other tests as I have run out. Will just have to keep testing.

The monitor is supposed to be more accurate so hopefully it is later and this is why I haven't fallen pregnant for the past 8 months as I haven't got the timing right.

We will see...

Oh I see, from your post initial post I thought you meant you were using OPK for the first time.

I had a few months of multiple peaks of OPK then finally had a single-peak cycle. No idea why, perhaps you are having an off month. Good luck
