Clear Blue Ovulation Tests

Hi all

we have just this cycle decided to start TTC. I bought the CB digital ovulation tests and used as instructed.

I finally got a flashing smiley on CD16, same again CD17 and then when I inserted the test on CD18 it started flashing a smiley before I’d done it. At this point I gave up and didn’t do the test as it wasn’t showing as test ready. I know once you’ve got a static smiley it stays like that but I’m a bit confused about this months chances as I never got my static/peak test.

Not sure if I’ve done something wrong or if the test was faulty. Would appreciate any thoughts 😊

@PatRey so on CD18 you plugged in a new test & it just stared flashing smiley straight away? If that’s the case then either a faulty test or a faulty reader. The flashing smiley stays for 8mins I think so you could have tried another new test from the pack maybe

Yep that’s correct. Thank you, I didn’t think this was right but didn’t think of trying a new test!

Would you assume C18 I would have got a static? Surely it couldn’t have been mush later!

@PatRey depends really, how long your cycles?

PatRey · 09/01/2024 19:13

Between 28-30 days. Thanks so much for your replies

Had you just ejected the test from the day before? It flashes the previous result for two minutes when you eject the test.

Ohhh I may well have done! There was me about to complain to CB! Off to Amazon to try again for next month (and read the instructions again!). Many thanks!

No problem! I did the same when I first started using them 😂
