Easy@home ovulation tests question 😬

I was wondering what is the lowest figure anyone has got on the test? And by how much does it increase?
I started to use the clear blue digital but after 6 days of a flashing smiley I lost heart and bought the easy@home..... started off with the faintest line ever!!! I’m worried I’m not going to get a lh surge 😢
Any advice greatly appreciated!!!

Many, many times mine has gone from very faint to a blazing positive the next day. The more you stress the more likely you are to delay ovulation.

Thank you for replying!
I am trying so hard, like I know realistically after coming off the pill it is going to take a few months for my body to fall back to normal!
I am currently in CD 21 so I’m not doing to bad.... the figures are defo going up all be it very slowly 🤣🤣

@springflower3 🖐 Hi! I've been using the easy@home tests too, I don't input them so can't answer your question but have you tried testing twice a day? I've read that some people on here get a shorter surge so can easily miss it. It might be worth around your predicted fertile time. Have you got Flo or a similar app? 🙂

Hello @Daisyrobin123 😬
I have started but to be honest it is not working well for me 😢 I just tested there and not even a squint could see the line 🤷‍♀️ So I’m just sitting here flat and disappointed! I’m using ovia as well... it’s all predicting that my fertile period is just over but I never got a solid smiley or a positive opk!
What cycle are you on? Xx

Inputted into Premom, mine were around 0.1-0.2 so a super faint line until the day before peak, when it would rise to about 0.3-0.4, so still low. I would then get a high reading about 1 but the test line was as dark as the control, not darker. It would then drop straight back down to 0.1-0.2 the day after high reading. Most of my readings just have low readings, then one high reading as my peak came and went quickly. I think I caught two high readings and a peak reading once.

@springflower3 How strange! Is this your first cycle using them? Have they done this before? I think I ovulated about 4 days later than my app told me I would last month, is it worth keep using them even though it says your fertile days are over just to see if anything happens?
I'm on cycle 3 trying for our first! Just started the dreaded 2ww!

@Springflower3 I have useD them ans would be about 0.12,0.23 those kind of reading and surge at 0.75 -0.98 then drop quickly! Definitely agree with testing twice a day as weirdly found my readings higher in the evenings?

Hi @Msd2416 @InTheNightWeWillWish I’ve just taken a clear blue and it is still flashing at me even though the opk are low and non existent so I’m stumped!
Do you guys think the easy@home are easier than the clear blue?
I’m so impatient! We any of you guys on the pill before ttc??
@Daisyrobin123 how far in to your tww are you? I really have my fingers crossed for you xx

I didn’t use clear blue, too cheap to buy them Grin I found the easy at home easy to use though, especially if you’re putting into an app, which works it out for you. Mine would never get really dark, it’s high levels of LH when the line is as dark as the control line. Some women will get the test going darker but mine never did. I would test twice a day when I got near to when I usually ovulated, which meant the first month I burnt through 40 OPKs while I worked out roughly when I ovulated Shock I wasn’t on the pill before TTC.

@springflower3 I'm literally 1DPO! What cycle are you on? Do you have any children already x
