Clearblue advanced digital opk

fairygirl86

I got my first flashy smiley so excited, so hoping that means I'll ovulate soon which would line up with my normal time. Just excited that my body seems to be back to normal after the miscarriage in may. Now to cross my toes and fingers that it takes also would suggest the Clearblue advanced opk so worth the money in my opinion. I'm also tracking my cm and this lines up with that to, also temping but will see how that lines up since i work graveyard and wake up and different times every day for the most part. Just needed to vent out my excitement since I don't have anyone to talk to.

While I do like the easy to read digital display I do not love these opks. I bought a box off 9 amazon. I used It one time and got the flashing smile face. And it would not reset. I could not use the rest of the strip because the digital part was broke :-(

That sucks that the digital part broke. I bought a pack of 10 first 2 days was no smiley then got my flashy smiley for 2 days hoping to see a solid smiley soon. i bought mine from Walmart probably just a bad one. can you maybe write the company see by chance they will send or give some money back for it? just an idea since its not like its a cheap thing.

@fairygirl86 I thought about that. After reading this post the other day I decided I should probably throw it away. I still had the bc and extra test strip in a drawer. And I'll be darn if it didn't reset. I tried for three cycles after the first one to use this and it would not reset! I find the whole thing strange. But at least I can finish the extra test syrups

Might of spoke to soon, didn't realize that you can have several days of flashy smilies. Now on day 6 of them still no peak bought another pack since knowing my luck I'll run out before I get peak. If I use up the rest of the sticks from second package and never get peak in done just going to temp, doesn't cost anything to do that.

I am not a fan of the clear blue digitals. I used them for one cycle and I went from empty circle to constant smiley on cd15 with no blinking smiley at all. I didn't trust it because that's too early for my average cycle. I was also using the regular non digital tests I was used to using just to compare and they were all negative like I expected them to be. After a few days the digital part reset and I tried again. I got 1 day of solid circle, two days of flashing smiley and then a solid smiley on cd21. My temp spiked on cd25 to confirm ovulation but that seems a bit late from when my surge was detected (96 hours).

We did not get pregnant that cycle even though we continued trying regularly until my temp rose, And I did ovulate later than usual so it could be that the tests were weird because my cycle was weird - but they are expensive enough that I'm interested in trying them again.

I had a miscarriage a couple of weeks ago and I've been having flashing smileys for about five days. I've been using these for months and I always had flashing smileys for two days then solid. I thought it was weird it's taking so long this time, but maybe it's normal after a miscarriage?

fairygirl86

@Edaggrr I ended up having 11 flashy smiles then I got irritated skipped a day and got a solid smile the next day. But my Waldorf opk said negative on peak day and the next day then had positives the following two then negatives today.

@Edaggrr, yeah, that's completely normal after a miscarriage.  You may not ovulate at all this month.  My first two cycles were longer than normal and the temps and opks were completely wonky.

I had a d&e at 11 weeks, though, (baby stopped growing at 6 weeks) so if you naturally miscarried and did it sooner than that, you'll likely return to normal before I did.

I miscarried naturally at 11.5 weeks
AF came 3.5 weeks later
I had a positive opk on cd 11
Normally I would have got my period on Sunday, it's now Wednesday and I've got nothing
Wondering if AF is still trying to get back to normal or if we are pg again
:-/

I'm kinda wondering if I am not really ovulating this month cause my temp doesn't seem to be going up. So irritating if I don't ovulate this month.

foliver82

I took a hpt yesterday and got a bfn
I'm 5 days late
Wondering when AF is going to rear her ugly head
Do you think maybe it was too early??

fairygirl86

It's possible I know my period after my miscarriage took 48 days to show up.

carrieandr

At foliver82, my first two cycles after the MC were longer than usual. Unfortunately, that's probably all it is, since you got a BFN.

foliver82

Well I got my first AF 3.5 weeks post MC
So I assumed I lucked out and was back on track lol

foliver82

PS this stinks

fairygirl86

@foliver82 yes it does. but hopefully now you can try the next cycle and you will get your rainbow baby I've been tracking my temp but unfortunately working graveyard shift its very rocky. I'm on cd 31 and no ovulation detected yet even though i had a peak on Friday last week and positive ovulation test on Sunday and Monday so i;m hoping it was sometime there and we get lucky but waiting is driving me nuts.
