Clear blue ovulation test confusion

After a few days of low (the circle) I have been flashing smiley for well over a week now. Today i tested and got a static smiley! But when i look at the strip it looks really pale so I'm confused how it has detected that as peak? Any thoughts appreciated, thanks.

If I am ovulating then I am over the moon as I have ovarian insufficiency.

Have you got another test you can try?
Even the paper ones to help you verify?

I didn't think they would flash for that many days, I wonder are they faulty?

The LH surge doesn't mean ovulation is definite, just that there's been a rise in the hormone that triggers ovulation in case you're not aware xx

Hey IVFlife - I use those too. I read on other threads people have flashing smileys for 11 days. 1st month I used them, I had a flashing smily for 9 days then my static (which was more or less in line with my natural cycles app) then 2nd month I had 6 flashing smileys then my static. So try not to worry, keep persevering :) xx

Similar here, I’ve had 7-10 days of flashing before the static and once I went from empty to static in 24 hours!

The lines aren’t meant to be read as they don’t read the same as ovulation strips. From what I’ve read the digitals aren’t great and a lot of people have issues with them. I’ve been using easy@home strips and the premom app and found them really easy to read.
