OPK Confusion

Hi all,
I have been using the Clearblue Advanced Digital OPKs.  In the past, I am able to get 2 days of blinky smilies before getting a solid smiley.  My cycles are usually around 32 days and have been that way since my MC last summer.  This month, got some weird smileys (not blinking) on random days earlier in the cycle, then started getting blinking smileys on days 21-26, with a solid smiley on day 27 (today).  i am super confused about all of this and have never ovulated this late before…
I don't temp because DS who is 4 gets up randomly at the night sometimes so my sleep is never consistent…

Any suggestions would be appreciated! 

Re: OPK Confusion

  • I am not the OPK expert by any means, but I would recommend getting the non digital OPK's and use those until you get a + and then confirm with a dig...

  • Do not use the advanced. It measures both estrogen and LH and it gave me wacky readings. Use the clearblue non advanced (it's digital but has a pink button not a purple one) it only measures LH and has never given me an issue. Or try wondfos off amazon.

  • i too had wonky readings with the purple button CBE digi opk. i prefer wondfos until they start getting dark and then i use the CBE pink buton digi opks so there is no need for guesswork. i pee on anything that resembles a stick 8264 times a day so the wondfos are clutch.  if your cyce is generally 30 something days long i'd be skeptical of a +opk at CD27.
