CB ovulation tests

[Floralsandsmiles]

Hey ladies! Talk to me, how many days did you get flashing smiling faces, before the static? And are you testing more than once a day once you have the flashing smiley? I am doing both CB and my strip tests. However the strip tests seem so low. Worried they are dud!
I got the first flashing smiley yesterday and now today. I saw some reviews that people have had flashing smiley faces for 9 days and then test stopped working.. xxx

Wahooo!! @Floralsandsmiles get baby dancing tonight girl 😆

Haha @TTCno1in23 will do! Look at this chart! How can it go from 0.12 - 0.25 each day to 1.40! It was only 0.25 this AM, 0.37 at lunch, and now this! Lol xxx

That’s insane! Are you using different tests to input into there? X

The dark red is me using the "other" tab in the test area and taking a screen shot of the clearblue ovulation test. The pink one is the easy at home strip tests xx

That is so good, hopefully you’ve got time for plenty of BD over the next few days!
im going again with CB OPKs this cycle plus letrozole and inositol so got everything crossed! Xx

It's starting to drop from this morning, but managed twice in the 12 hour period, so hopefully have done enough! Lol I can feel cramping which feels like I'm coming on my period.. hoping its a good sign..
Aww bless you! Fingers crossed for you! Xxx

Ah yea I get cramping around ovulation so fingers crossed! Lots of baby dust to you for this cycle lovely! xxx

I think I'm reading too much into it, but I don't normally know when ovulation is happening and this feels like cramping and stretching of my uterus. I also felt sick today. Lol like I said, wishful thinking? Xxx

Hey girls how are you all getting on in your next cycle? I’d really love your opinions if you don’t mind as I’m confused about my cheapy ovulation tests! Would you say any of these are positive? I’ve had flashing smiley on CB last 2 days but I thought yesterday I’d have got a static looking at my cheapies! BD Monday & Wednesday and hoping for tonight & tomorrow too 😬😰

Hi @TTCno1in23 your last one is nearly there but the testing line needs to be stronger than the control line or the same colour. Your testing line is fainter than the control, which is why you still have a flashing smile. Keep going! I finally got mine after 11 days of flashing smile! Lol however I had to test 3 times a day as it went from 0.30 in the AM, 0.60 at lunch to 1.40 in the evening at 6.30pm. Stick with it hun xxx

@Floralsandsmiles thank you! It’s so confusing trying to get your head round it all isn’t it! Are you coming to the end of your TWW then? I think my LP is fairly short as I have 28/29 day cycles and don’t ovulate until about day 18 if this is correct! X

I'm currently on 8DPO, but I think I average on a 28 day cycle and therefore a really short LP of only 10 days.. however hoping maybe it will fluctuate and be abit longer, of obviously won't have AF at all! Lol it is all so confusing though, you're right. Stay with it though, I'm confident you haven't had your peak yet and you need to test 3 times a day now it's rising, to ensure you don't miss it. Some people rise and fall for their peak in 6 hours or less! Therefore its easy to miss if not careful! Xxx

Fingers crossed you don’t get it at all!! I forgot to do another test tonight 🙄 trying to not let it consume my whole life! Hopefully get the static tomoz but if it’s anything like you I’m in for a long week 😰

I've got my fingers crossed for you that you won't be tortured like me! Lol good luck xxx
