More than 5 days of blinking smiley faces and going to the bathroom in the middle of the night
I'm using the advanced digital kit and been having flashing smiley faces since Sunday. When I took the test today (Friday) it still shows a flashing smiley face. Will I get a non-blinking smiley face soon? Also it says it's best to take the test after your longest sleep. Sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of the night to go pee and then get up at 4:30am to take the test. Does going to the bathroom in the middle of night mess up my results?

The number of high fertility fertility days displayed 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 reflects your unique hormone changes. I recommend that you continue testing for your LH surge. If the test detects an LH surge, peak fertility will be displayed (solid smiley) for 48 hours. If an LH surge is not detected, your digital holder will continue to display high fertility (blinking smiley) until tests are missed for 3 days in a row.
To answer your other question, there are some factors which can affect the number of high fertility days you see. Testing at another time of day other than with your first urine after your longest sleep can cause high fertility days to be displayed early in your cycle. If your first urine after your longest sleep is when you wake in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, collect this urine in a clean container and test with it at your usual testing time when you wake up.
If you have questions about this, feel free to give us a call at 1-800-321-3279 and mention reference #FB357. We're open weekdays from 8:30am-5:00pm ET. Although we're normally open Monday through Friday, on Monday Feb. 17 we'll be closed in observance of Presidents' Day.
Hope this helps!

Occasionally some women may have an LH surge that is too low for the test to detect, or they may not ovulate during a cycle and therefore won't see Peak Fertility. This isn't unusual and may happen in approximately 8% of cycles. If you don't see Peak Fertility over a number of cycles, we recommend discussing this with your doctor. IF you see 10 days of High Fertility, it is less likely you you'll go on to see Peak Fertility, therefore we recommend you stop testing.

I’ve been doing my ovulation tests as soon as I get up in the morning. I’ve had 10 consecutive flashing smiley faces - I have like 2 ovulation test strips left. I hope I get a solid smiley soon.. :/

Why is it bad to switch holders when testing? I ran out of sticks and switched. Could that be the cause of seeing no solid smiley?
