I think Clomid is throwing it off. Last month, I had 2-3 days of flashing and then the solid. I think I'll switch back to regular CBE next time, unless this cycle is the one for us! :) I just want to assume I'll be like @ChiBee: and that 7 days of flashing means getting pregnant this month, hahahaha. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-advanced-opk#post-1858039 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 12:39:06 +0000 LindsayInNY 1858039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: This might help: <a href="http://www.clearblueeasy.com/advanced-digital-ovulation-test.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.clearblueeasy.com/advanced-digital-ovulation-test.php</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-advanced-opk#post-1857503 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 08:02:06 +0000 chibee 1857503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The cycle I got pregnant, I had 7 days of flashing smiley - it was torture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-advanced-opk#post-1857488 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 07:42:53 +0000 MrsADS 1857488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I got the solid smiley today - woohoo! So fingers crossed for this cycle :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-advanced-opk#post-1857269 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 21:27:24 +0000 duchessdina 1857269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also splurged and tried the advanced this month. I had days of flashing smileys before I got the regular smiley. I didn't think it helped me much since I knew when I had EWCM that I should be bd'ing. I don't think it's weird that you had multiple days of flashing smileys. I think it's just different for everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-advanced-opk#post-1855996 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 09:43:04 +0000 raspberries 1855996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think this is another matter where every woman is different - if your surge is a longer length or you release more hormones, it'll show a flashing smiley for a longer amount of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-advanced-opk#post-1855932 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 09:15:09 +0000 PrincessBaby 1855932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't impressed with this one, it never gave me flashing smileys. It was blank faces and then BOOM- solid smiley:)</p> <p>I used the fancy one on a cycle where we weren't ttc just to make sure all was working. This month when we actually ttc, I just used the good ol normal CBE smileys and they worked great and we were blessed with a pregnancy. </p> <p>I may have a short surge though, so the problem could actually be me and not them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-advanced-opk#post-1855810 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 07:52:41 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1855810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No help just yet. I bought the same thing for my upcoming cycle. </p> <p>I used this <a href="http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/tools/intercourse_timing_calculator.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/tools/intercourse_timing_calculator.php</a> to help determine good times to BD. Given you have CM I would BD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-advanced-opk#post-1855797 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 07:40:13 +0000 MrsADS 1855797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I splurged and this cycle I am trying the Clearblue advanced OPK for the first time. Looks like you are supposed to get 2 days of flashing smileys when it's "high" fertility (leading up to O), and then 2 days of solid smileys for O.</p> <p>Well, I got 2 days of flashing smileys, so today I expected to get the solid smiley... but I got ANOTHER flashing smiley! 3 days in a row. </p> <p>Did this happen to anyone else? I tested using FMU. Did I miss my surge? What's going on? </p> <p>I am also tracking BBT - my temp has not spiked. But I have had lots of egg-white mucus (tmi) for the past 2 days or so. </p>
