New holder, first test on CD6, straight to peak solid smiley

These tests are making me feel crazy. Last month I went straight from "o" to peak fertility on CD12, whereas the previous month I had like 15 days of the flashing smiley and apparently hit peak on CD19, now this month CD6 I test for the very first time (and with a new holder) and it shows me as peak - no "o" test at all, even thought I thought there was meant to always be a baseline reading each month. I'm also tracking by BBT and that doesn't show a rise yet, so I'm starting to feel these tests are overpriced and utterly useless. 

Should I test tomorrow using a different holder? If the holder didn't go a baseline reading, is it broken?
