Blinking smiley face for the past 4 days?

I've been getting a blinking smiley face for the past 4 days now, but I just started using the test (ie started the 5th day after 1st day of my period), so I shouldn't be close to my ovulation time. Should I continue or is this a faulty test?

Hi Laura, thanks for sharing your concern with us.  The number of high fertility days displayed each cycle may be more or less than 2, and it's normal for some women to see more than 2 high fertility days in all or some of their cycles. It's personal to you and reflects your unique hormone changes.  Other factors which can affect your number of high fertility days include testing at another time of day other than with your first urine of the day, testing twice per day, and the use of fertility treatments such as clomiphene citrate.

You should continue testing until peak fertility is detected.  Once you've identified peak fertility, the solid smiley will remain on the screen for 48 hours, and have intercourse at any time during these 48 hours to maximize your chance of conceiving.  If you'd like to talk through your questions, feel free to give us a call at 1-800-321-3279 and mention reference #FB281.  We're open weekdays from 8:30am-5:00pm Eastern time and would be happy to help.  Thanks!

Been testing only in the morning-first urine- one time a day. I understand that you could have more than 2 high days, but I doubt it would happen right after a period/beginning of a cycle. If this continues, I will call. Thank you for the contact information.
