I have been testing for a bout a week, no flashing smiley just straight to this so thought I'd check in a cheapie with the same urine and the cheapie is negative. Wtf!!

@worldwidetravel2017 hiya! Yeah I don't know which one to trust. I have got cramps and the line is darker than any I've had so far this month so maybe the digi has just picked it up and ran with it. Still made sure we've done the deed though as soon as I saw it 😂

I've had tests done, I've been ttc for 3years plus. Good luck to you!

I find the cheapies very hit and miss. Rarely get a line as dark as the control but can see a trend (get darker over a few days, then lighter). Your image certainly looks like it's not a total negative (some of mine there's basically no line at all). I am ovulating as temping and have had d21 test to confirm.

i don’t find the OPKs that useful in isolation, more just to add further context to existing signs (temping, CM, mood, ov pains etc).

Think depends what time you test. The clear blue say first thing but my peak is always at like 9pm when I've used the strips

I used femometer cheapies and clear blue advanced as the fermometer began to get darker. Conceived twice on them. Currently 12 weeks with twins. Found them great. Especially since before my twin pregnancy the last pregnancy was a chemical so needed to track ovulation

Blue2020 · 15/07/2023 08:46

I found the easy@home useful and the clear blue useless. I think it could have been user error though for me. I got stressed using them both and conflicting. I was using bbt as well and that tracked with the easy@home, the clear blue went static the day my temp spiked, which I think means ovulation had occured. With the easy@home I would test twice a day from around day 10 of my cycle (knowing I ovulate around day 18). At about 11am and 4pm.

The cycle after I only used easy@home and bbt to confirm ovulation. I conceived and now I have a 3 month old baby. I only used bbt until a few days after ovulation I didn’t keep tracking my temp, I then just waited to see if af appeared. Highly recommend bbt if you want extra assurance about ovulation.

Blue2020 · 15/07/2023 08:48

Oh just to add, with the easy@home on one cycle it was low at 11am and then high by 4pm. It can change quickly hence why I increased it to multiple times per day close to ovulation.
