I have used clearblue advanced digital ovulation tests this month of the first time —
CD9 - circle
CD10 - circle
CD11 - flashing smiley
CD12 (today) - it seems to have broken!

Today, with FMU I thought maybe I hadn’t dipped it long enough as it came up with an error sign and when I ejected it, the urine hadn’t made it across the test screen yet and no result was showing. However, when I looked at it 4 hours later it looked positive.

I did it again 4 hours later and the same error sign came up but I definitely did it right and when I ejected it I could see the result.

Does it look like I’m at peak today even though the reader has broken? Bottom two are today

The purple test when it is flashing always looks positive when you eject , it doesn't mean you peaked. The error sign usually means it's faulty or you ejected it incorrectly.

Forgot to add, looking at it later is pointless. It's what on the screen that matters, I'd say you'll have to get another one. For what it's worth, I use Internet cheapest called fermometer, find them great. Its like 11 euro for a bag of 40. Lasts me for the whole cycle.

Oh, silly me, I thought the line progression still meant something.

I’ve popped out and got a cheap strip and testing the same 11am urine, I think I may be peaking but I suppose it’s difficult to say without progression.

@Mismatc Im fairly sure the line progression does still mean something! I’ve got photos comparing the clearblue and easy@home LH tests and they both show dark peak lines at the same time☺️

Sorry I probably didn't explain it right, I meant looking at four hours later, it could look darker. That boots test looks good though. Looks darker than control line .

I think both lines need to be the same colour to be positive for peak. 2 lines doesn't automatically mean positive from what I remember. Based on yours id get doing the deed. Word of caution though these things drove me mad and the second I ditched then i relaxed and got pregnant
