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>
