Clear blue digital advanced help!

[GeorgeR28]

Hey everyone, I used the clear blue digital advanced last month and got flashing smiley from day 10-14 then a solid smiley on day 15 & confirmed ovulation with my temps.
This month it’s CD 12 and not had any flashing smileys yet so I’m worried 😞 I did start testing later this month, last month I started on day 8, this month I started on 10- I don’t know if that would have affected anything?
I had a miscarriage back in June & it’s so hard not to stress and worry something is wrong since that.

Try not to worry, I know it’s easier said than done but sometimes ovulation fluctuates. I rarely had two months that were the same. Some months were quite early and some were very late. It was annoying but can be quite normal for a lot of women.

I’m really sorry about your loss. As you say it will be hard based on that but try not put too much pressure on yourself.

@Hiddenvoice thanks so much for your reply! I feel like google makes everything seem terrible if you aren’t bang on regular every month!
thanks so much, I’m trying to relax but at the same time still want to check my body is doing what it should be. Thankyou again ❤️

Google makes it seem that every ‘normal’ woman ovulates at a certain time but it’s not the case. I ovulated really early with my dd and with my second pregnancy I ovulated really late.

With the CB digitals, it doesn’t matter what day you start testing, as the first day it will always show you a blank circle, this is because it needs a baseline. After that it will show a flashing smiley when it detects your LH rising & this can happen over a number of days, some women a couple of days & others can be 10 days…some women can also have more than one surge. But it’s when you hit your peak that it then gives you the static smiley. I would keep testing, you can also test in the evening as well if you have enough tests. I usually hit my static in the evening. I’m sure everything will be fine, just keep testing. I know how frustrating seeing that blank circle is & also then seeing a flashing smiley for days but stick with it. You could also do some cheap Ov strip tests along side the CB so you can see any line darkness progression.
the last thing is that not all women ovulate every month & that’s ok, it’s normal…I know it’s not ok to you because you want to but it’s classed as ok. I hope you get your flashing smiley soon. Good luck 🍀

@Hiddenvoice that gives me so much reassurance, Thankyou so much x

@4LeafCloverBaby Thankyou so much for your reply!
I had flashing smileys last month from CD10 for five days… I’m on CD12 and still non this month 😞 it’s so frustrating! Fingers crossed they come soon. Thankyou so much again xx

Our cycles definitely aren't always regular - I usually have a really regular cycle, haven't done anything different this month but instead of my usual 3-4 flashing smileys I had 7 before the static one, so ovulation is 4 days later than usual! Our bodies are so complicated 😂
