I had a static smiley on a clear blue on Thursday after 8 days of flashing.
I've been getting cramps on and off so took a cheapie test - is this a positive ovulation test?
I don't temp as I work nights so can never get a true reading.
I just don't even know what to think anymore Confused

I haven't done clearblue before but a static smiley is a positive isnt it?
It looks like you are on the way down from the surge.
Have you dtd on thursday??

SunnySideUp2020 · 16/05/2020 13:49

also the actual ovulation occurs 24hours after peak so your cramping is probably the egg being released x

Temple29 · 16/05/2020 13:51

I would say that’s positive and I’ve conceived both my children (currently pregnant with DC2) using the clear blue smiley tests and found them reliable so I would take that as positive too.

MsChatterbox · 16/05/2020 13:53

No that's not positive it's just close so would make sense for a positive on thursday. Don't you get your static at the peak and not at ovulation? And ovulation is 12-36 hours after that? So again the cramps now would make sense.

imhereforthecake · 16/05/2020 13:54

Static says that ovulation to occur in the next 24-48 hours occurring to instructions.
Dtd Thursday and every other day prior to that.

Is it worth dtd tonight as well? Or test again tonight and see what it says?
I'd quite like a day off now if I'm being honest Blush

SunnySideUp2020 · 16/05/2020 13:57

definitely dtd tonight too

MsChatterbox · 16/05/2020 14:24

I would personally dtd again today but I know that cba feeling! The month I caught I did it with the cba feeling 😬 not very romantic I know.

imhereforthecake · 16/05/2020 18:44

It's getting lighter isn't it?

Yes which makes sense. Should be properly negative tomorrow
Dont worry you ovulated :)

imhereforthecake · 16/05/2020 19:45

Thanks @SunnySideUp2020
Do you still think dtd tonight? Will it be too late?

OP posts:
SunnySideUp2020 · 16/05/2020 20:37

No it's worth it if you can be bothered :)

SunnySideUp2020 · 16/05/2020 20:38

i think tomorrow will be too late..

imhereforthecake · 17/05/2020 09:55

This mornings test was completely negative.
Made sure we dtd last night. So I'm officially on the 2WW. Going to be the longest 2 weeks EVER.
When's the earliest everyone tests? I have a frer waiting Grin

Well done! Now you know you've given it your best shot. I got both my bfps at 11dpo with afternoon urine rather than morning 🤞🏻
