Can anyone offer advice? I’ve been using the Clearblue Advanced OPKs and today I’ve gotten my 5th Flashing Smiley (High) and last cycle I had 4 Flashing Smileys before I got my Peak test, so I was thinking today I would get the peak result. I’ve been inputting the results on this app and usually it uses my ovulation tests to change expected ovulation date but this month is hasn’t and I don’t know why it isn’t updating. Glow says I ovulated yesterday.

Also, if you’re familiar with this brand of OPK you can see the blue lines when you take the test out of the reader and they were VERY strong earlier in the week and today even though I got a high result the line was so faint.

Gosh I don’t know if I am making sense but I am so lost and confused. I have been drinking more water than usual lately so I’ve been making more midnight trips to the bathroom and the test says to test your urine after your longest sleep which has been kind of impossible but I have been doing my first morning pee. Maybe that is a factor in why the lines are light but the test is positive?

We BD last night so 🤞🏻 I’m going to try and seduce him today as well because tomorrow and Monday he is gone for work.

Just keep testing. Sometimes I would get 1 flashing and sometimes I would get 5. Your rising estrogen isn’t always indicative of when your LH will peak. With regards to the app, it won’t change til you input the positive test. That’s why it hasn’t changed yet. I found that my ovulation rotates. One month I ovulate day 11 and the next month day 15. Once you get more than 2 months of testing under your belt you may see a pattern. With regards to the lines on the test they mean nothing. They will always have 2 lines. Sometimes light sometimes dark. I never found a pattern with mine so I stopped taking them apart. As consolation we did get pregnant the 3rd month using these!!

You don’t ovulate the same day every single month, sometimes you may then there may be that one month you ovulate a little later than you normally do. Just keep testing, and because sperm can live for 3-5 days I would definitely do what you need to do in the meantime. Good luck !
