What cycle days did you get your flashing smiley?

Hello

I usually start testing 2 or 3 days after my period ends then I have 3 or 4 days negative then between 4 and 6 days flashing smiley before my static smiley.

I started testing too early on CD5 straight after my AF finished and I got one blank circle then a lot of flashing smileys and then got my static.

CD5- Blank circle
CD6 - CD12 - Flashing smileys (6 of them)
CD13 - Static smiley

You are supposed to stop testing at that point as the static smiley stays on screen for 48 hours.

This might have been silly of me but I will just add the below.

I didn’t have much ewcm or pains or anything on CD13 so I actually then used a different CB device and tested again on CD14 when I got more symptoms and I got a static smiley straight away. This was exactly 24 hours after the first one I got.

And today I’m CD15 and I used the original device as it had reset and gone back blank and again I got another static smiley straight away early this morning. Then about half an hour ago I got a blank circle again.

So I think from that I perhaps had a longer LH surge more towards the 36 hours and I seem to have ovulated between 8am and 1pm today. As between that time I went from static smiley to blank circle.

Now I think you still have between 12 and 24 hours from the point of ovulation so I’m hoping mine lasts 24 hours so I can squeeze in another dtd tonight when OH comes home lol

Good luck to you Smile

I could be totally wrong with that extra part though so probably the best to go by what I had up until the first static smiley I got Smile

I'm on cd12 and still empty face which is a shame. I wonder if I'm doing jt wrong. I know you're not supposed to pee 4 hours before. Is doing it first thing bad?

How soon after period ending did u start testing?

Newbiemg · 20/12/2021 13:49

You maybe have had your peak early before CD12 or you maybe end up ovulating late. Last month my peak was at CD20.

Also some people never get flashing smileys they go straight from blank to static.

I would keep testing if I was you as you’re only on CD12 Smile

I started testing CD9 and had blank face for a few days then I've had flashing from about CD13 up till now CD23 still no static... cheap OPKs think my peak was CD14/15 though and I've never ever had static on CB so maybe they don't work for me or maybe I'm too hydrated or need to test in the afternoon? No idea! Good luck!

My period finished cd5 and I've had no smileys on days cd10,11 and 12 so I guess I might be later?
Saying that, I was quite horny and dtd straight after period days 6, 7 and 10 so maybe my body was crazy early?
