My CB digital advanced shows peak fertility today but my cheapie Internet ones don't even show a faint line!! How bizarre. Are the Clear blue ones more sensitive??

If it's the advanced one it could be detecting rise in oestrogen rather than LH - cheapies only detect LH. Keep testing and I'd start testing multiple times a day now

Sorry just seen that it shows as peak (solid smiley?)? If so it might be detecting the start or end of it and your cheapy can't detect it yet. I would be testing every few hours now with the cheapies

Sorry keep thinking of things after I press post lol

Was this peak detected with fmu or later? Are you testing both in same urine?

Which cheapies are you using? I've found differences between some different brands (femometer ones aren't as good for me as wandfo)

@Vea1601 I had this last week but then I got a positive on my OPK in the afternoon after. It is strange but just keep testing with IC at different times of day.

I'm using one step. I got a stitch like pain this afternoon after testing on my one step cheapie and got a slightly darker line this morning. So I assume LH peaked on CB digi yday and ovulation actually happened today.

This happened to me this month too. Peaked on CB advanced digi but I normally confirm with One Step and the One Step was negative. Been testing every days since but 9 days later and I still haven't had a positive on One Step. Will have to assume that the CB digi was correct but I didn't have any ewcm or normal ovulation pain so I have a feeling that it could be that I'm not going to ovulate at all this cycle. First time in 9 months of tracking that this has happened. Very strange...

Morning @smoby what cycle day are you today? Sometimes you get the LH surge but you don't ovulate for some reason. Then occasionally you'll have a later surge and the egg will release. It is normal for occasionally not to ovulate but that's pants!!

Hi @Vea1601 thanks for your reply. I'm on CD40!! I've given up for the rest of this cycle now. I just want my period to come so we can start again. I had a chemical last month so feel like that has messed everything up
