Smiley Face (peak) before flashing smiley face?

Question

I started using Clearblue digital ovulation tests this month and test every morning around the same time. I got my period on June 13th this month and have an average 32 day cycle. So Monday, June 22nd was day 10 and I began testing on Tuesday, June 23rd - Day 11. On Friday, June 26th, I tested and received the Smiley face = peak fertility. It said I didnt need to test after, but being curious I did and received flashing smiley faces for a couple days following. Is it normal to see the smiley face/peak fertility PRIOR to flashing smiley face/LH surge? From what I read, you should have a LH surge prior to ovulation. Mine seems to be backwards and I'm wondering if others have experienced this, is this normal, or was the test wrong.

Hi Alyssa - Normally High Fertility days are seen prior to Peak but it's possible to go straight to Peak if the estrogen increase has already started when you begin testing or if it happens very close to the LH Surge.  If your cycles vary then test according to the shortest recent cycle.  It's also normal to see more High Fertility days after Peak as there is a second rise in estrogen after ovulation but you have already found the information you were looking for by then so it's better to save your Holder and remaining test sticks for another cycle if you need them.  If you have several cycles where you don't see High before Peak then it may be worth having  chat with your Doctor.  Wishing you all the best!
