I randomly went from two days of empty smileys to a solid smiley at my usual o day.</p> <p>However I wasn't getting a peak reading on my cbfm so I contiuned to test on both. Four days later I had one day of flashing smikey and then a solid smiley the same day my cbfm showed peak reading and wondfos were blazing positive as well.<br /> The earlier cb advanced was the only one that was positive and I assume was a fluke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-advanced-opk-question#post-1935978 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 14:05:53 +0000 pinkcupcake 1935978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shortiecake: Yes, I'm glad I got the Peak :) Hoping this will be it!</p> <p>@Mum: I used FMU each time... I usually have to pee really bad around 5 or 6AM, so I test then (that's about 6 hours of sleep by that point). I'm bummed b/c I bought them for the advanced notice even though they were really expensive... I could have just stuck w/the regular OPKs otherwise :( Thank you, though, I'm hoping this solid smiley is enough :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-advanced-opk-question#post-1935704 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 07:54:29 +0000 Mum 1935704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you use FMU each time? On the days when you should have had blinking smiley did you have too much water the night before? I'm sorry you didn't get the advanced notice- that is my preferred OPK when we have the money, but I have also gotten comfortable with the Wondfo strips. Maybe the peak smiley is all it will take for you :goodluck: :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-advanced-opk-question#post-1934737 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 13:21:18 +0000 shortiecake 1934737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used the Clearblue Advanced for the past 2 cycles and personally haven't had it skip straight to the peak smiley. I've seen on other threads that others have had that occur -- sorry I'm not much help! On the bright side, at least you've got your peak so you have some time to BD :happy: Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-advanced-opk-question#post-1934545 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 11:46:20 +0000 pinkcupcake 1934545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone used the Clearblue Advanced OPKs? It's the one with 4 days of fertility... you're supposed to get 2 *flashing* smileys to indicate high fertility, followed by 2 *solid* smileys to indicate peak fertility.</p> <p>This is my first month using it (cycle 10 of TTC #2). I started testing on Monday, which was CD 10 for me. I got blank (negative) circles for the first few days, and today, I was expecting a flashing smiley - instead, I got a solid that means I'll be O-ing within the next 36 hours?? </p> <p>Anyone else skip the flashing smiley and go straight to the solid? I usually have 30 - 32 day cycles, so it means I should be ovulating sometime around Sunday - Tuesday... we plan on BD-ing anyways but I'm just confused that I seem to have skipped all the flashing smileys and gone straight to the solids. </p>
