Flashing smiley face just means high fertility.. some women can have a flashing smiley face for a few days or up to a week before they get their solid smiley face once you get your solid smiley face, it means you will ovulate within 12-24hrs
Is it possible to ovulate as early as day 10 even though flashing smiley?
I usually ovulate day 13/14 and typically would have cramps etc that day. I'm currently using clear blue ovulation kit and today, day 10 I had a flashing smiley but I have strange cramps. I don't want to bd tonight as 10 days has always been too early for me to conceive I'd prefer to wait til tomororw or Fri when I may have the flashing. Has anyone Been successful in conceiving as early as day 10

Day 10 is too early for a standard textbook 28 day cycle. It does happen, and fertilisation does occur but the pregnancy won’t survive bc the endometrium hasn’t had time to bulk up to support implantation. Remember, you’ll ovulate the next day after a positive opk or a solid smiley. The flashy smiley could take days (it’s just measuring the estrogen that surges before LH). Keep testing and I would suggest temping to confirm when and if ovulation is occuring. One thing I’ve noticed after crossing into my 40s is the multiple false LH surges my body does as it tries to ovulate. Temping will help nail down when ovulation actually occurs.

The informational bit about the lining not being ready for pregnancy at cd 10 is not true. What makes the lining thicken and be ready for implantation is the estrogene continuously being secreted from the growing ovarian follicles. The more the follicle grow the more the lining thickens so by the time the egg drops the lining is ready. I have had ivf icsi cycles where on cd 11 day of trigger the lining was 12 mm which is relatively thick as the implantation minimum is about 7 mm as by the book. Although my sonographer told me she has seen ladies with successful pregnancies with lining as low as 6 mm.

Wow, thank you for all of that.

First go over to Glows own charting and temping page, it has 2-3 great article on the how-do’s.
Buy a BBT thermometer that reads to 2 decimal places (36.75, not 36.8). Start on the first day of your period. Take your temp as soon as you wake up, before moving or using the toilet (your temps will rise upon movement or activity, we don’t want that). It should really be done vaginally or rectally for the best core results, mouth temping is too variable. Keep some baby wipes next to your bed for easy cleaning.
The thing with temping is you won’t see ovulation happening but only confirm it 3 days after it’s happened.
Basically, sometime in the middle of the month, after you get a blazing positive opk, you’ll be looking for a temp spike of at least 0.4F/0.2C for 3 consecutive days afterwards. Once that has happened, ovulation is confirmed. If those 3 days of temp increase don’t happen after a positive opk, ovulation has failed.
This is the only situation where I suggest to keep using opks after suspected ovulation (generally you stop after your first positive). Post 40s is a different ballgame and some rules don’t apply, especially when ovulation isnt occurring like clockwork, like it use to.
