@Peach1204 @Poppyismyfavourite @Summertime1992 I'm sure everyone here would love to hear how you're getting on!

@Th197 welcome. I'm on CD21 and no smiley face yet (I'm using the pink CBS so I won't get a flashing, just straight to static). Mine varies month to month from about CD17 to CD23, I just checked my app and I ovulated on CD27 once. Do you normally vary? It's very annoying. I'm getting very fed up seeing the blank screen now, and I just had to buy some more for this cycle, even though I bought a box of 20.

@hampshirerose34 I personally can't see anything on the photo, but when I have had genuine faint positives before they were very hard to pick up on the camera. Fingers crossed for you

@Th197 sorry I misread your post a bit - it sounds like you have regular cycles? When did you start using the OPKs from?

Hey ladies..

So it's been flashing 7 days.. i came off the implant in January and with that I never had a regular period as can be expected with that. I had a AF in Feb and it's continued until now coming quite regularly. Cycles usually last between 28-34 days so I'm hoping that's regular quite new to having an AF as I was on implant for 4 years. Was hoping to have a static by now as according to my app my AF is due on Saturday.

Hope this makes sense a bit.

@hampshirerose34 I can’t see anything on there just yet but as @Daffodil21 that doesn’t means it’s not there!
Maybe try a digital one or test again in a few days time? Xx

@Th197 if you're on CD26 and been having 7 days of flashing smileys I think you may have started testing a bit late (CD19?) and missed your O? Only thing I can think of. Have you been DTD regular? If so you may have caught it anyway.
I'm on my 7th day of flashing smileys and I'm on CD13. I started testing early though on CD5.

@Alew15

Sorry I should have said, I previously wrote a week or so ago, I got a static smiley on 13th of June.. (this was my first day I even done a test) but a few days later I got ew mucus so I decided to do another test and have had flashing smileys since then. Sorry I should have said that 🤦🏻‍♀️

So I'm so confused as to what is going on.

@Th197 oh I don't know then. That date sounds like it is closer to 'predicted' O but everyone is different so hard to say. I think the digital tests might only be effective if you take them regularly? Just from what I've read, but I'm pretty new to them too.

@Daffodil21 @Dreaming101 think I will as I have soar nips , cramps and feeling sick for over a week now it's getting on my nerves a little X

@hampshirerose34 Oo that all sounds positive! Keep us posted, fingers crossed for a BFP!!xxx

@Alew15 yeah, feel like I'm wasting them ATM as I've probably missed ovulation and I'll get a blank circle in a few days😭 hopefully be able to work them a bit more next month

@Th197 fingers crossed you won't need them and AF won't turn up! Xx

Just got my static smiley! Woopie! Haven't told DH as he would rather not know! Hope he wants to get on it tonight now. It ties in with our 'every other day' that we have been doing.

@ALew15 enjoy your baby dancing 🙊

Yay @ALew15 that's great news!!

@alew15 thank you! And oh my!! That's brilliant ❤️❤️

Congrats to all graduates!! I'm getting a mild cramping and itchy hives at 7DPO. No other symptoms 😭Please calm me down so that I don't keep imagining in my 1WW🥺

@nervousnoob that's exactly what i have been getting , I was naughty and gave in have to wait until Saturday now . Hold on x

@Alew15 I also got my static smiley today!! CD27!!

So after my static smiley on CB about 630pm last night, on my app (Ovia) do I log yesterday as my ovulation day or today?

What is everyone doing for the next couple of days? The weather is Wales is gorgeous. I've just put our wedding bunting up in the garden and filling up our new pool ready for my two step sons to come over later. Think we might have a cheeky bbq tonight. No drinking for me as I think I'm 1dpo. Here's to a long two weeks!

@ALew15 the clear blue website says you should ovulate between 24-36 hours after you get a static smiley. I would say that probably means a couple of drinks is ok..?

Not so lucky here with the weather in scotland, although we will be catching up with some friends (socially distanced of course!) and also will be trying not to drive myself insane at no smiley face yet...

Your bbq sounds lovely! And a good way to keep you distracted

@Daffodil21 that's what I read too. I've put down today as my ovulation day and yesterday as the peak opk.
What CD are you now? After obsessing this month I've told myself that I won't use them next month if we aren't successful this cycle.

I'm not a massive drinker but I do like a glass of fruity cider or pink moscato when the sun is out so think we might crack some open tonight (probably change my mind later and have a lemonade 😂)

Yay @Th197 that's brilliant! Hanky panky time 😂

Hey! been lurking on the forum for a few months but thought while the thread is new I should start posting. 35, TTC for 7 months, as the months go on I'm adding more things to my routine (temping, tracking, preconception multivitamins, digital opk). Although today the clearblue opk went from low (yesterday) to static smile (no flashing days), so that's a new mystery.

CD13 today, apps are saying I should ovulate tomorrow but I have zero symptoms and my OPKs are extremely low ....is it safe to assume I will ovulate later in my cycle? I started a new diet this month I'm hoping that will be the cause 😭

I tried using Premom and this is what I'm getting so far
