TTC OVULATION HELP!!!!!!!!!

9 replies

Freya1245 · 09/03/2023 17:35

Hi, hopefully someone can help!!

I had a flashing smiley on clear blue OV TEST 12/13/14th Feb & then we went on holiday, I forgot to take my tests with me. We DTD 12th & 17th feb & got home on 18th Feb where I tested and it was a blank circle. I usually have 33 day cycles & Im now on day 36 with NO AF, no symptoms & no POSITIVE.

Ive tested everyday for last 4 days and all negative.

I’m wondering if you can have flashing smileys into a blank circle then ovulate later?! I assumed I’d just missed the static smiley while we were on holiday but now I’m not so sure…..

Please help put my mind at rest. We are actively TTC. xxx

What I mean is, could I have ovulated later despite the flashing into blank circle, which is why I’m not showing a positive?

I'm not sure if this is the right answer but I wonder if because you didn't test for a few days it thinks you've started a new cycle hence the blank circle 🤔

Also you may well have ovulated later I can have a range of ovulation date from 14th to 23rd cycle day 🙄 it's very frustrating

I did wonder this but assumed it would just still be a flashy smiley if I hadn’t ovulated yet. Very confused because I’d assume it had gone back to a circle as I’d ovulated already but now I’m not so sure. Maybe I got flashes but no ovulation & then ovulated a lot later in my cycle. Hence why I’m so late to come on… it’s stressful because I’m symptom spotting & can’t relax xx

Seems so odd that my tests went from flashing to a blank circle when I get back. I’d assumed I’d ovulated in the days I hadn’t tested but now im not so sure! Xx

Your not supposed to test after you get your static smily. It assumes your testing again and therefore giving a baseline. You can not have a period for a number of reasons.

Sometimes you just skip a month, sometimes you ovulate late.

I hadn’t had a static smiley, I had 3 days of flashing & then didn’t test for 5 days & then when I did I had a circle, so I’d assumed I had ovulated in those 5 days. I was just wondering if you can have flashing smileys more than once in a month. Once leading to nothing and then once again leading to ovulation. I stopped testing once I got a circle again so not sure if it flashed again. Xx
