Anyone use clear blue digital opk AND internet opks?

Question

I got pregnant in 2017 the first month using clear blue digital opk kits. This time around in attempt to save money, I’ve been using internet cheapies (premom/pregmate) and 7 months post MC later, I still haven’t gotten pregnant. 
Sooo here’s my question. 
Does anyone who uses clear blue opk kits know what the strip line looks like when it is flashing high fertility? I knew with those test when they said ‘high fertility’ (blinking smiley) it was time to get busy, but with the premom OPKs, I go from low fertility to peak in a matter of 24 hours. 
So do the CBD OPKs show ‘high fertility’ when a cheapie strip would still be considered ‘low’?
I’ll post a pic below of my premom OPKs. 
**to add, I try to have sex every other day when my fertile window is approaching, but I’m not a sex machine lol.

Answer

It literally says in the directions to not go by the lines. Thats not how they work.

Answer

The digital ones (if you get the advanced digital ones that show both high and peak results) show “high” when your estrogen levels rise, when is before your LH rises. Since the cheap ones only measure LH, you only get this “high” result on a digital test that measures estrogen too. “Peak” on the digital test is measuring high LH. So your “peak” result on digital should match with the peak result on the cheap ones. But theoretically you should also get a “high” result on digital prior to peak (when estrogen rises)
Does that make sense?

Answer

Here another example.

Answer

Ok I guess I misunderstood your question.. you’re asking how do digital and standard tests correlate? If they read the same (meaning both read peak at the same time using same urine sample)?

Answer

I’ve used CB advanced OPKs in the past thinking it would be the best option because it gives you a definite answer without having to guess on a strip if it was positive. Well like the previous comment, you can get a surge in the evening and not know until the next morning (which happened a lot for me in the three months I used them). And what I noticed also the digital and standards never matched up. 
I love the strips so much more. You can see the progression. This is the first month I only used the strips. When the app seemed it didn’t analyze right I would keep taking pictures until it did or I would take three to five pics and if it kept coming out to around the same number I would delete all the others. 
With the digital test they require FMU but the strips recommend not to because it can give false negatives because LH is produced in the morning and have the highest concentration in the afternoon. so I would keep that in mind. It says the best time to test is 11-4. I tested some days outside that window but close enough and limit water intake two hours before testing.
I hope this helps. I attached my tests as well

Answer

So I use clear blue advanced and I also track progression with the pregmate (I use the Premom app as well) I would suggest testing twice a day once in the morning and again at night. I attached a pic for you of my current cycle.. The other day I tested in the am and it was low, again at 4:30 still low and then 7:30 and was high. The next morning I peaked. It has also happened to me before that I would go from low on clear blue then right to peak. Every month has been pretty much different for me. I def like the cheapie brand bc you are able to track the progression of your LH surge. Bc the clear blue requires fmu and with testing once a day it’s possible to get the surge later in the day and you wouldn’t necessarily know until the next morning. I’ve been also trying to BD every other day after af but it’s tough lol. Baby dust!
