My LH surge is short and happens the same day as ovulation for me. Having the extra lead time is nice. The CBE Advance miss my LH surge sometimes though, so, I do double up and test multiple times with cheapies when I'm close to o. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wondfos-vs-clear-blue-advanced-ovulation-tests#post-2758476 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 15:27:20 +0000 Marfi 2758476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took Femera this cycle (2.5mg days 3-7) and used both wondfos and cba OPKs and both have me peak on the same day, cd16. Maybe it's because my Femera was earlier in the cycle? I actually thought I missed ovulation or something because my wondfos weren't getting dark and my CBA was just blinking smilies (even the day before my peak, just a light line) then on my peak a blazing positive and a solid smiley face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wondfos-vs-clear-blue-advanced-ovulation-tests#post-2758465 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 15:00:10 +0000 LittleLovebug 2758465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: Thank you!

Yes, you could be right! The advanced calculates estrogen and LH. Femara lowers estrogen production, so maybe that was messing with the test. Thank you! I will be using wondfos only from now on I think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wondfos-vs-clear-blue-advanced-ovulation-tests#post-2758451 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:40:01 +0000 bhbee 2758451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always go by wondfos now! They've always been accurate and when I had the cbe monitor it never gave me better info. I forget how femara works but maybe it messed with the advanced since that one looks at two hormones, right? Not just LH like a standard test. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wondfos-vs-clear-blue-advanced-ovulation-tests#post-2758380 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 11:56:44 +0000 LittleLovebug 2758380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This cycle was the first time I took femara (cd 5-9 5mg). I started using opks cd 10, as instructed, and had blood work and an ultrasound cd 14 (a Thursday). That day the RE nurse called and said that I haven't ovulated and if I don't get a positive test by Monday, then to call. </p> <p>I never got a positive on the Clear Blue Advanced (those damn smileys!) but did get a very clear positive test on a wondfo on Saturday and another very dark test on Sunday.</p> <p>When I called on Monday, they asked me to come in on Tuesday for more blood work to confirm ovulation. They called later that day and said that I had ovulated, a few days ago - which lines up with my positive OPK. The nurse couldn't tell me why the I received two different readings. </p> <p>Has anyone else had this problem? Should I just stick to the cheapies now (if this cycle doesn't work out) ? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-randomly-took-an-ovulation-test-and-it-came-out-positivebut#post-976423 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 17:25:58 +0000 LindsayInNY 976423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you get positive OPKs for the past 3 days? Are you sure they're positive and not just really close? I know a lot of us have trouble deciphering them initially. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-randomly-took-an-ovulation-test-and-it-came-out-positivebut#post-976397 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 17:03:45 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 976397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hismrskisses: frikkin YEAH!

Once you get a negative test, then you can assume the ovulation happened sometime between your last positive and that first negative. Am I right, girls? </p> <p>And at least you got a positive. I'm still waiting for mine this month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-randomly-took-an-ovulation-test-and-it-came-out-positivebut#post-970910 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 18:39:21 +0000 Bao 970910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still get busy when he gets home!

Just dtd when he gets home. You get the positive right before you ovulate...not during. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-randomly-took-an-ovulation-test-and-it-came-out-positivebut#post-970849 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 18:04:00 +0000 sslm 970849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would still do the deed when your hubby gets home! The test just means ovulation is going to happen soon, not that it already has. And you can still get pregnant after you ovulate too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-randomly-took-an-ovulation-test-and-it-came-out-positivebut#post-970834 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 17:49:05 +0000 MrsH 970834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bummer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-randomly-took-an-ovulation-test-and-it-came-out-positivebut#post-970829 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 17:46:00 +0000 T.H.O.U. 970829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A positive test could mean ovulation 24 or more hours.

So mad!!! Ugh I guess we will try again next month! Atleast I know I'm ovulating though! </p>
