High fertility faces after ovulation?
I have been using Clearblue ovulation tests for about 2 years now, not the whole time ttc but I wanted to know if spontanous sex landed on close enough days to know if it was a possibility if I was pregnant or not and also to track my cycles so that when we were ready I knew exactly when to have sex to concieve. Every month I would get 4-5 days of the flashing smiley face (High Fertility), then 2 days of the solid (Peak). The first time ttc we concieved by having sex the day of peak and then 3 days after again. That pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at 6 weeks.
Since then my cycles returned to normal but this month I am very confused, I got a solid smiley face on day 20 (like usual), the next day a 0 (like usual) but the day after that and ever since (days 22-28) I am getting the flashing smiley faces twice a day. Is this just reading estrogen or am I close to ovulating again? Could the elevated estrogen be the beginnings of pregnancy hormones?

High Fertility will be displayed when an increase in estrogen is detected. Once High Fertility is displayed, the holder will continue to display High Fertility daily until an LH surge is detected or until tests are missed for 3 consecutive days. If an LH surge is detected, Peak Fertility will be displayed continually for 48 hours.

Once Peak Fertility (solid smiley) is seen you should stop testing in the given cycle, as continuing to test can give misleading results. It is normal to see High Fertility (rise in estrogen) after Peak Fertility as there is a second rise in estrogen which occurs after ovulation. To reassure you, if you are suitable to use the test, the Peak Fertility which you previously saw would have been over 99% accurate.

Yes - once the LH surge is first detected the next 48 hours is your most fertile, having intercourse during this time maximizes your chances of conception.

So i started using opk kits on CD7, i got 3 negative results and then i got a positive cheap opk on CD11 and a lot of cramping, i then got a high clear blue digital ovulation test (flashing face) CD11 evening and some cramping. I had more cramping on Monday too. I continued to do the clear blue digital tests twice a day since CD11 and on CD16 I'm still having flashing smiley face every morning and evening.
Which are the more accurate tests as the cheap opk have veen faint since CD13 but flashing but no peak from Clear blue at all, will I get a peak or have I already ovulated?
I've attached a photo of the cheap opk sticks leading up to my positive result. The bottom stick is today's (CD16) but then ones before are CD7- CD12.
Thanks x

We're glad you chose Clearblue to help you on your journey to conceive. Occasionally some women may have an LH surge that is too low for the test to detect, and therefore won't see Peak Fertility.
We can't confirm if the other test has given you a valid LH surge reading, however if you have seen a surge result with another test and not the Clearblue test there can be various reasons for this. Factors such as the urine sample, sensitivity of the test and the time the different tests are taken on can all cause conflicting results. We'd be happy to chat if you'd like to talk through your questions. Feel free to call us at 1-800-321-3279 and mention reference 001990467A. We're open weekdays from 8:30-5:00 ET.
