Ovulation tracking - advice needed

[PotatoPiee]

Hello - I'm fairly new to tracking ovulation, this is my first cycle tracking it. I'm using the clearblue advanced ovulation tests in the morning and then cheap ovulation strips in the afternoon.

I've had the blank circle on clearblue since CD 7, my previous cycle lengths have been 26, 27 and 29. I'm currently CD 13 and still no flashing smiley on clearblue, just getting a little worried that ovulation might not happen this month. Is it possible to go straight into peak without the flashing smiley? Can I ovulate even if its not being picked up on the tests?

Thank you.

What are the cheapies saying? Have you got highs in them? I never used CB but altho I think they say to test in the morning I remember reading that it is better to wait til mid afternoon etc to detect LH as it needs time to build up. On some of these threads some other women went straight from nothing to static smiley but they worried they never got the oestrogen build up first and just got the oestrogen and LH peak at the same time? Sorry I’m not much help with info I just didn’t want to read and run cos I know how your brain can work overtime during ttc and a day feels like a week 😂

Thank you for your reply. I just got home and thought I'd do my afternoon test with CB and cheapies just to see.. I just got a solid smiley face!! The cheapie test line is dark-ish too, but not showing as peak on the app (pre-mom app)?? I've attached a photo of them.

Do you reckon this could be a false positive or the real deal??
