High fertility 3 days before my period?
I was using pink dye OPK strips for a few months when I decided to switch to using those in addition to the Clearblue Advanced. Both tests coordinated and I am also charting BBT. I definitely am 8 DPO right now, as confirmed by 3 separate ways of charting so. Out of pure curiosity yesterday, I tried a Clearblue and I got a flashing smiley. Curiosity totally peaked, I did another one today and got another flashing smiley. Now I am worried that I have a hormonal imbalance, why else would I get 2 flashing smileys in a row 3 days before my period? HPTs are negative.

It's not necessary to continue testing once Peak Fertility has been detected. Since you did test again, please keep in mind that a flashing smiley is reflecting your estrogen level, not LH. Hope this helps!

It seems you may have detected the second rise in estrogen which occurs after ovulation. This can happen if you start testing too late in the cycle, therefore please calculate your shortest and longest cycle length, and then use your shortest cycle length to determine when to start testing (this is in the leaflet). Your Doctor has correctly informed you that the solid smiley (Peak Fertility) is the best time for the IUI. The blinking smiley continues to show until the solid smiley is detected, your Holder will however reset itself after 3 or more days of not being used.

Hi,
I had a positive LH surge june 4th . Had all the symptoms related to ovulation , and this is when I typically ovulate. I know that was a real ovulation because my symptoms were very intense. Now June 17th and yesterday June 16th I tested positive again (blinking ). I did test in between these days and it was negative. I thought maybe I was pregnant but pregnancy test is negative. Are those last two readings faulty, menstrual cycle supposed to start in a couple-few days.

Had ovulation on June 4th and had all symptoms associated with it. They were very intense that’s why tested for it. Then June 16th and 17th tested again and it was positive (blinking). Had tested in between and it was negative. This is just a few days before period. Did take pregnancy test and was negative. What would cause the surge in estrogen? Or is the device faulty.
