Is this normal? Flashing smiley for a week!

I am using clear blue advanced ovulation (purple one). I got my high peak (flashing smiley) 2 days after my period, I have had a flashing smiley everyday since then. I still been BD every other day but I am waiting for my PEAK. I'm scared if I don't get my peak :/
Has anyone else had high fertility for a week or more?
Thank you!

I had flashing smiley for a week and gave up. I hate the clear blue kit. It gave me a solid smiley too when my strips were so FAINT. I got my peak a week later with strips. Avoid them x

I use CB because I got pregnant with my son by using it. What others would you recommend? I just can't read strips so I have no clue if it's high or low :/

I've seen the premom app but that I believe is American not sure if it would help

that makes sense! I'm on my last clear blue test tomorrow if it doesn't show as peak, I'll switch to the clear and simple ovulation test strips as they have 5 in a pack.
How often are we supposed to test? Clearblue I test once in the morning

Twice a day ideally as your LH can change within hours, some people do 3 a day x

I didn't get my peak today but I'm having ovulation symptoms. I think I'll get the strips now. At least I can afford to check more than once

I usually have ovulation symptoms for about a week it’s so hard to pinpoint isn’t it x

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.
