Flashing smiley after solid smiley. Did I ovulate?
I am using the clearblue advanced ovulation kit. I had several days of negatives, one day of the flashing smiley, and then received my solid for two days like you are supposed to. I only saw a very small rise in my temperature (even with coverline) after the day I thought I ovulated so I tested again that morning with the same stick (it no longer had the solid smiley, it had cleared off) and I got a negative. Once I got this negative, I thought maybe I didn't have my rise yet. The next day, two days after I thought I ovulated, I got a flashing smiley again. Did I ovulate? I had a horrible headache and lots of egg white cervical mucus which only happens at ovulation for me. I am confused. Is there a reason I am getting another flashing smiley?

You are seeing another flashing smiley because the test is picking up the second rise in estrogen that occurs after ovulation.
The LH surge typically lasts 1-2 days so your negative result is indicating the end of your surge.
Body temperature can be influenced by a number of things such as infection or even a lack of sleep so it can be difficult to track.
You can rely on your Peak Fertility result. Having intercourse on the day of your Peak result and the day after will maximise your chances of conception.
If you would like more information then please don't hesitate to give our careline a call at 1-800-321-3279 with your test and packaging to hand, and mention reference number 001810337A.
