Flashing smiley all the time?

6 Replies

We are having our last month trying with Letrozole and cyclogest before we prep for our Sept FET.

I am trying to understand these clear blue ovulation sticks and getting a solid smiley then a flashing smiley for a few days....

Wondering why.....

Sorry I am posting a lot of questions on here lately!

From what I can remember you can get the flashing smiley for quite a few days but once you get the solid smiley that’s it you are ovulating and you can’t use the test stick again for a while (it tells you how long on the pack) so disregard anything else after that xx

That's what confused me this time as I got a solid smiley then flashing smiley for a few days....

Thanks for your reply - focusing on my FET now I think 😊

But who know - miracles could happen this month!

🙌

Thanks for the advice x

Hi, honestly these tests drove me crazy. Never got a solid face although all signs and other tests pointed to ovulation. I went back to the cheap stick tests. Good luck with your FET!

I know they are totally bonkers - I can tell by my body that it was prepping for ovulation.

Yes FET very soon!

fertility clinic told me if you have pcos ovulation tests generally won't work properly as you'll have elevated levels all the time as your body is trying to get your ovaries to respond; you may also get multiple surges for the same reason, even with letrozole (some people need higher dose ) I gave up using them as i always got a faint positive all the way up to ovulation (i used one step)

Yes obviously something not quite right this month! X
