5 empty circles in a row?

Hi ladies

This is my second month using Clearblue digital OPK, the purple ones. Last month I had one empty circle, then got my peak the next day CD13.

This month I started testing from CD10 (cycle is 28-29 days) and so far have had 5 empty circles in a row.

The last 3 months I’ve had my peak on CD16, 14 and 13 consecutively so I’m surprised I haven’t even had a flashing smiley yet.

I’ve read you shouldn’t read the lines on a digital, but they do look similar to my peak last month.

Any ideas or experience from anyone?

To me it looks like cd10 or 11 were your peak! I'm very surprised you didn't get at least a flashy face for those. I had my peak yday and looked exactly like that

@Fifi1086
Thank you! I thought exactly that. The first two look so much like my peak from last month...

I did think if using the same holder from last month was affecting it, but I’ve just checked the instructions and it says if you have tests left over from a previous month, you can still continue to use them in the same holder.

I’m still confused! I’ve had no signs of ovulation, CM has been sticky, no EWCM yet. A few cramps here and there but my usual sign that it’s taken place is sore boobs!

I’ve tried a one step cheapie today and the second line is very faint.

Guess I’ll be ovulating a bit later this month...?

I'd keep testing. I only just got a flashing smiley on CD21 after 10 days of circles (I do seem to have long cycles though). Like you I always have a look at the lines afterwards but I've concluded it doesn't mean a lot! Some look like a strong second line and some just look faint.

Static smiley this morning!
I must have a rapid surge as haven’t had a flashing smiley in the last two months. I know that’s not very long to get much of a pattern though.

Thanks for responding @murmurlade I agree not to look at the lines too much, but can’t help it when this morning’s line was so dark! Typical that DH has just gone to work!
