Once High Fertility is detected, your results will continue be High Fertility until the LH surge is detected. If an LH surge is not detected, your will continue to see High Fertility results until tests are missed for 3 consecutive days. If you started testing on the correct day for your cycle length and see more than 9 High Fertility days, it's unlikely that you'll see Peak Fertility this cycle and you may wish to stop testing. This isn't unusual. Some women may have an LH surge that is too low for the test to detect, and some women may not ovulate every cycle thus won't see Peak Fertility.
If you have other questions, feel free to let us know!

I have a question in regards to your response that indicates that you will see High Fertility results until either the LH surge is detected or you stop taking the test for three consecutive days. This sounds like the results will default to High Fertility even if you aren't actually High Fertility - when that may not really be the case......that makes me untrustworthy of the test and wondering it's actually measuring something. Shouldn't the flashing smiley face appear only if the estrogen is detected? And if it's not, the empty circle should be displayed? It's misleading if the flashing smiley face will continue to appear day after day and only change if the LH surge is detected.
I am on day 5 of the flashing smiley face and am hoping for the non-flashing smiley face hopefully tomorrow....but if I am not going in that direction the empty circle would be more indicative of a cycle where I haven't ovulated. I don't want to stop testing just for the sake of getting the flashing smiley face to stop appearing after three days. This is confusing.... :-(
