Clear blue Advanced Ovulation

[Birchtree4]

Going to invest in this this month, and had a couple of questions -

What cycle day should I start? I think I O'd day 21 last cycle but not 100%, and still sorting cycle out after getting implant out

Do you have to do FMU? My issue is I wake up at least once a night to go to the loo. If I wake at 5, does that mean I do it then and go back to bed? I'd rather do every day after work but don't want to skew results.

How often do you DTD when smile starts flashing?
Thanks

@Birchtree4 I got the flashing smiley today 👏🏻 phew, I was worrying I'd started way too early but I didn't want to miss it! Have prepared my bf for a couple extra shifts! My Ovia app changed my predicted ovulation but we've been sure to DTD every 2nd day so if it changes again should still be ok! Hoping tomorrow will be static smiley 🤞🏻 I'm CD11 and normally have pretty short cycles, about 25/26 days x

I bought these back in May. I fell pregnant that cycle. Sadly we had a mmc. I started using them again in August & we did it again. Now 18+1

The second time I ovulated cd20 which was unusual and I would’ve missed had it not been for these bad boys.

I would recommend them to anyone.

I tended to wee in a glass in the morning, go back to sleep, then test when I woke up.

@surreymum89 and @Sansa87 amazing! Such encouraging news! Congratulations to you both ❤️ and I'm so sorry you suffered a mmc, I can't imagine how heartbreaking that must be.

Does everyone recommend just DTD as much as possible as soon as flashing smiley? X

@HJen22 we did it every other day from flushing smiley

@Sansa87 thank you! We've been doing that since end of AF to cover even when obligation / fertile days might change so I'm hoping these ovulation tests help too! I do it into a wee cup first thing too! Easier instead of aiming for a stick so early 😂

Can I ask how much these are? Are they the £25 ones? If so, how many do you get in a pack? Surely it’d cost about £50 a month to keep testing? Really tempted to try these this month but just wondering how costly it is?

@SweetShopSurprise I paid £30 for a pack of 20, you start testing on CD 8 - 12 so one pack should last the month

I bought the £40 ones because I love me an app. One box last me the two times and I still had sticks left over

How is everyone getting on?

I got a solid smiley today after 7 days flashing, quite chuffed!

Got my solid smiley 2 days ago and used cheapie sticks alongside in the afternoon. Interestingly the cheapie stick didn't show peak until the afternoon of that day! We'll see what happens, 5th month of using these now!

Hi all, I’m new to this thread but I’m always looking on mumsnet.
Anyways, decided to give the clear blue advanced ovulation tests a try this month. So I had 4 days of flashing smileys and we DTD everyday on those high fertility days but then when I got my peak, my partner was working sad and we missed those 2 days when the static is constantly on the monitor.
We then DTD the day after the static smiley was gone so the day after the second peak day...
Has anyone had a BFP when using the clear blue advanced and missed DTD on the 2 peak days.
It was very frustrating seeing the static smiley and not being able to try on those main days and i feel like I’ve totally missed this month now!
I thought they were good though, they totally matched up to my cheapies and will defo use them again. If only you could buy the sticks separately! Xx

Hi all- has anyone only had a flashing smiley for 1 day before the peak comes on? I’m a bit worried as everyone seems to get their high fertility/flashing smiley for days and I only have one day…
