Long flashing smiley on ovulation tests, normal or missed peak?

[Springcloud26]

Hi, looking for some advice! First time TTC and on Cycle 4 after coming off pill around 7 months ago.

Past 6 cycles have been 29-32 days, with one unusually long one at 39 days. Had bloods taken, only potential issue TSH was elevated (T4 and antibodies normal) but gp wanted to wait and repeat bloods (next month) before doing anything.

I started using CB Advanced Digital ovulation test for this cycle as have no idea when I actually ovulate and just using Flo app. Started testing CD 9, High appeared CD11. I’m now on CD18 and it’s still flashing smiley ‘high’. DTD every other day. Testing daily FMU.

It feels like a long ‘high’ period, and I’m going to keep testing, is this still normal or have I missed my peak? Should I be testing more than once? Switch to evening urine?

Thank you 😊

You haven’t necessarily missed your peak. I usually had the flashing smiley face for quite a while. The solid smiley face always came eventually. If I remember correctly I had the flashing smiley face for just over a week the cycle that I conceived my daughter.

Thank you! That is reassuring to hear, I will keep going testing this cycle 😊

I didn’t get on with the clear blue ones - the smiley was too vague for me.
I moved to the easy@home ones off amazon and you can use the app to measure the score and see the difference day to day.

I also think afternoon/evening is recommended for testing.

@TurtleGroove thank you, I will look into these. Yep, now that I’ve started tracking, I think I would prefer more data!
