What my fertile days does this mean?!?!? As many of you know I am battling CB OPK digi currently and the day before yesterday it showed a smiley face but nothing -as in was negative, was half full- later in the day and yesterday.

Thanks to my POAS addiction I have kept to using chepie OPKs and just did one. Dark as heck. So I used my famous CB OPK digi and sure enough smiley face!

What the heck?!?! Does that mean I haven't Oed yesterday and will today or tom?!? Am I not 1DPO? The instructions say there are only two days when the smiley face can show yet this is the third day!

PLEASE someone tell me you understand this!

(I have pics. I'll update this with them tonight.)

I think it could be a number of things. 1st you're not doing it right. Which I doubt, cause you seem to be very focused on doing things right. 2nd, you could be one of those women who ovulate twice. Any history of twins in the family? Just a thought. Those are mine.
When I POAS this month I had 4 sticks pos. Then the next morn. nothing. So it could be poss. that you haven't quite O'd yet. Keep up the BDing just in case and try not to worry so much. It's good that your window hasn't closed yet, right??!!

I agree with Superp123. If in doubt BD anyway. you'd kick yourself if you didn't and you missed the window of opportunity.

Good Luck

Thank you ladies! We were going to BD till the end of the week anyhow just to be safe but I guess the past three days of BDathlon cover us as well. I guess what you are saying makes sense Superp123, I don't have any twins that I know of in my family but there's always a first. Besides I am on a bunch of very strong prenatals so maybe those caused it.

I am also having cramps today and boobies are starting to bother me so I'll presume this one now is the real O time and the one before (the day before yesterday) was just either a smaller O, or downright a CB mistake which they claim can't ever happen.

In fact I called the UK CB hot line and asked if this happens and she insisted that no, it's not possible to have a positive then negatives then a positive again. That it is normal to have two smileys two days apart but not negatives in between. GRRRR When I offered to email her the timestamped pictures of both tests she backed off and said I should ask my doc and make sure I have no conditions affecting it and that failing that, in 0.1% of cases an error can occur.

Oh thats so frustrating eh?? Im using them now too but this is the first month suing them on their own, last month i , like you used my ordinary clear blues aswell as the digi just to make sure and took my temps, this month ive been brave and just used the digi and ive had negatives so far so i blinking hope its not telling me the wrong result !!!
Yeah I agree with the others no matter what about your negatives, go for it again now just incase to cover yourslef and fingers crossed you get a bfp. Its annoying though isnt it as i use them to track my cycle so if they mess up, it gets very confusing. x

I agree was gonna say are you not just ovulating twice. Good luck

Hey greedy some people don't get 1 smiley face and you're complaining about 2!
No, sorry seriously, if you have other symptoms i'd do what you said and take today as OV day.
Plus on the positive side if you did OV the other day but you take today as OV day when you test you could already be 2 days late! Am i confusing you enough? OK just keep
