Hey!

Is anyone else using these?
I'm on CD16 and still flashing 🫠 had them flashing for a week now.

Think my chances this month are slim, as my husband has gone away for work.

Question is, does anyone know where you can just buy the sticks (without the holder?) I can't find them anywhere! Or do you recommend buying a new kit and using the old reader?

I have also not been able to find the sticks without the reader. My understanding is that the smiley face is flashing once it detects estrogen and only goes 'solid' once it's detected rising estrogen and Lh.
I think clear blue say test for 9 days of flashing and then stop for that cycle but I have seen others say they've still had the solid smiley at 10. There are quite a few other posts on using them if others experience is helpful.

I found them easier than the cheapy lh only tests and got pregnant using them in May but that ended in a miscarriage unfortunately

Ah sorry to hear that. I did read you could have 7-10 days of flashies... So annoying 😂 I'm clearly a late ovulator!
