Am I broken or is the test?

I have been using the digital fertility test and only have three tests left and still no happy face. Is this common???

Hi Amy, can you clarify which test you are using? Is it the digital ovulation test or the fertility monitor?

This isn't unusual. You might be having a longer cycle than normal so refer to your cycle lengths, the longest and the shortest. We expect ovulation to happen around 12-16 days before your next period so this will give you an idea as to whether or not you will still see your LH surge (smiley face) this cycle.

If you are past the time of Ovulation and your LH surge, and have started testing on the correct day for your cycle, there are a few reasons why you might not have seen your two most fertile days;

If you inadvertently missed any tests
If you didn't use a concentrated enough urine sample (should be in your bladder for at least 4 hours)
Your LH surge might have been too low or short for the test to detect.
You might not have ovulated this cycle (not unusual and may happen in approximately 8% of cycles).

If you don't see your surge result over a number of cycles then we recommend that you seek further advice from your doctor.
