How many flashing smileys do you get before a solid smiley?

These flashing smileys are driving me mad! How many days of flashing do people tend to get before it turns solid? Last cycle I went from blank to a solid within 1 day...which ended up in a chemical. I'm now onto day 4 of the flashing smiley.....

I used to get two before a solid, but I have just had a chemical too and am on day 8 of flashing smileys 😩

Oh my god the dreaded smileys! I found that it really varied. I have a 28-30 day cycle, so think I started on day 10 (can't remember exactly, I just followed the instructions). They ranged from 2-7 days! It was the 7 days if flashing month I actually got pregnant. Could be a total coincidence. Good luck!

Different every time for me too. This month I got a few empty circles, one flashing smiley and then static.
Last month I got one empty circle, and 3 flashing smiley the static.

I had about five flashing smileys this month. That smug flashing smiley b*stard!

Pahaha amazing.

I went from nothing to solid smiley b*stard, but no pregnancy! I didn’t like his face, so I just use LH strips now and hope for the best.

Urgghhh hated the smilies! I got it after 6 days. But I was testing with LH strips aswell. And I had a surge 2 days after the solid smiley face, so just be aware!

Thanks ladies. Seems like a real mix! What a rollercoaster 🤪. I'm so curious whether the length of your flashing smileys means anything when it changes month to month....

Usually between 1 and 4. It was 1 this cycle and my ovulation is today.

On my 5th day of lashing now! Last month I got my peak on the evening of CD16 which is tomorrow for me, if I’m still seeing a flashing one on Monday I won’t be happy!

So I finally got a static after 7 days of flashing smileys. So baffling how it changes so much month on month!

@Bubblesandballoons crossing everything for you too. Just shows how different it can be each month. So hard after trying for a while and then a chemical- small wins I guess!

@Flossie333 I got mine after 10 days of flashing smileys, had just given up hope when he popped up and stayed 🎉.
🤞🏻🤞🏻 for some bfps soon

Lifeafterloss22 · 14/02/2022 20:23

I’m on day 5 of flashing smiles and I also had a chemical pregnancy last month. Getting very impatient! And strange because January I had 2 flashing days before static and my cycles are usually always 28/29 days.
