With the clearblue advanced digital tests, once you get a solid smiley you shouldn't test again for the month. It will stay solid for 2 days and the next time you test it will think you are starting a new cycle of testing, so that's why it would be an empty circle.</p> <p>I also think that the clearblue tests may not always line up with the cheap tests. Last month, I got a solid smiley on the clearblue, but my cheap test was negative (almost positive). I think I would go by your ovulation symptoms over the tests since they aren't always accurate. If I don't get pregnant this month, I'm planning to not use any OPKs next month since they don't really seem worth the trouble and additional stress! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confusing-opk-results#post-2578384 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 09:28:49 +0000 autumnlove 2578384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confusing-opk-results#post-2577912 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 15:51:43 +0000 maybebaby0115 2577912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’ve been getting some confusing OPK results the last couple days and I’m hoping someone here can help me. I had my period from 6/16-6/19 (25-27 day cycle) and suspected I would be ovulating around 6/27 based on previous months (I’m not charting or temping). On Satuday 6/25 I took a Clearblue Advanced digital OPK and got a solid smiley. I had what I thought were O pains on Sunday and yesterday. Last night I took a cheapie OPK so I could see the lines and it was positive again. I took another test on the CB Advance digital this morning and it was an open circle. What gives? Why did I have 3 days of positives? We BD’d Friday, Saturday and Sunday so I’m hoping I caught it.</p> <p>It’s weird because last month I was sure I ovulated because of the pain I felt and the next day I took an OPK and it was negative. This month I had pain for 2 days and I was sure I ovulated early on Sunday, but maybe not since I got another positive yesterday. Anyone have this happen to them? </p>
