Period finished on Sunday and already got static smiley, when do I DTD?

Last month, I got the static smiley 8 days after my period. I then started my period 5 days later then scheduled.

I have now got a static smiley on the 4th day after my period finished on Sunday.

I got low fertility on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday I got flashing and today I got static.

We only DTD yesterday evening as I was hoping to DTD after 2 days so not to kill off any healthy sperm and I thought I would ovulate later again. This is my only second month using OPKs. So confusing!

What do I do now?

DTD this evening? Tomorrow and Saturday? What about Sunday?

I'd have sex today and tomorrow.

Most women will ovulate within about 36 hours of their peak. Your best chance of conception is sex the day before ovulation and the day before that. So if you have sex today and tomorrow you should have sperm in the right place if you ovulate any time in the next 3 or 4 days.

Have I ovulated too early?
Shall I keep doing the Clearblue OPK's?
According to my app, I shouldn't ovulate until Monday.

The static smiley means it has detected your LH surge which is usually followed by ovulation within a couple of days. It doesn't mean you have already ovulated and it doesn't definitely mean you will (some women have conditions that mean they get more than one LH surge and no, or later, ovulation).

I don't recall how the digital OPKs work but generally there isn't a lot of point in keeping doing them once you have a peak.

Your app may be right or it may be wrong. You can only know for sure you have ovulated if you have a day 21 blood test to confirm , track your basal body temperature and see a sustained rise after ovulation or find yourself pregnant.

You haven't said how long your cycle is or how long your period lasts, but it sounds as though your cycle may be a bit erratic. You might want to learn about other signs of ovulation so as to get a feel for what your body is doing and when.

My cycle is regular usually 26-28 days.
The period just gone, I was 3 days late.
i am usually 6-7 days period long.
