Clear blue advanced ovulation tests

Hi,

So I've started using the clear blue advanced ovulation tests, the ones that measure both estrogen and LH

So I have used it with FMU last few mornings, giving me low fertility (empty circle) , low fertility this AM too. however this afternoon I felt awful, really tired & headache so thought something was up & I would try another test. I then got a flashing smiley, is this accurate because it's in the afternoon and not the morning? So confused 😂 I'm CD13

Aren't you supposed to only test once a day with those tests?

I don't know that's why I'm asking Mumsnet 🙈

The instructions say: For your High fertility results to be reliable it is important to only test once a day using the urine after your longest sleep.

Okay so it's a false reading, thank you!

I believe you can test more than once after you’ve got your first flashing smiley from FMU ☺️

Hi op this happened to me , I used the same tests and had low fertility then out of curiosity because I was convinced I was having ovulation symptoms even though my tests had said otherwise showed me to be ovulating! Just as well I trusted my body or I’d have missed the boat! I think sometimes if your urine isn’t concentrated enough it shows as low fertility. I’m on day 5 post ovulation here’s to the long wait!

Well this morning with FMU it's a flashing smiley again, so it must have been right yesterday 😅 fingers crossed 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Another flashing smiley one this morning so will be doing another one later with my usual OPK test 😄 this is going to get expensive!

Hi, first time using the clear blue advanced I started last Friday and I’ve had 7 days of flashing smileys so far now I’m worried because in the instructions it says stop testing after 9! How many flashing smileys has everyone got and did you give up at 9 😩 x

Lolajames · 09/04/2021 09:08

I didn't read this bit and kept going - got my static day 10 😀 as long as it's not driving you too crazy I'd keep going!

I would keep it up, that's what I plan to do as I think mine will flash for a while! ☺️
