Anyone use the clearblue ovulation test to get pregnant?

We’ve started trying for a baby again and have the digital 4 day ovulation test but it’s been flashing the smiley face for about 5/6 days now?

Anyone know why this is? I assume this is still high fertility and peak will be when the smiley face is not flashing? Is it normal to have high fertility for longer than 4 days? My cycles are irregular so not sure if related?

Yes we used this to conceive our LG. Flashing smiley means high fertility but once the smile stays, its peak fertility. This is helpful:

I had a day of flashy smiley usually and then peak fertility but my cycle was really regular pre-baby. The link above gives a table and days of flashy smiley and also what it means if it carries on!

Is this your first time using them? If so, did you get some circles before the flashing smileys??

this is amazing thank you! I threw away the leaflet it came with and couldn’t find this info 😅

yeah had the blank circle when the app said I should be fertile so was just using every other day from then on until I got something!

Ok just checking because the first time you use it it needs to understand your levels before you are due a flashing smiley.

Keep testing daily. The first time I used them I got pregnant but unfortunately miscarried at 7 weeks. I had 3 flashing smileys then a static smiley. The second time I used them (last cycle) I had 6 flashing smileys before getting the static smiley. I would just recommend trying to conceive every other day whilst having the flashy smileys to give you the best chances

sorry to hear about your miscarriage!

Thanks for the help I’ll keep trying and testing!

I used to have about 5 days of flashing smileys that would always end in a solid x

I didn't use them but I used these ones from amazon and got pregnant in the first few times of testing

ah thank you! I’m using these as well haha! I don’t trust myself to read the line well enough though and when I used them last time I got pregnant the app was not reading them very well so lost my trust a bit - I use them to see when I get highish and then I use the clear blue ones only then as they’re a lot more pricey but i can understand it easier 😅

Pregnancy test

I took this pregnancy test and then a few days later I looked at it again and noticed a very faint line but then I took 3 more on different days and they all came out negative. What’s going on? I’m tripping out because I see it but my husband says he doesn’t.

When did you get a strong positive?

Tested last Friday got a positive faint did a digital said 1-2 weeks which would be about right 4 weeks at the time. Did another this morning still faint…. Slightly worried about it being chemical if it isn’t getting darker. Should I be using all the same type tests?

Positive test?

Do yall see it? There’s the original and another one that I added sharpness to and stuff to see the faint liner more better. I took more and they came out negative. So I’m so confused. Also that line didn’t appear immediately I noticed it like the next day.
