Testing multiple times a day mess up the test?
I received a flashing smiley face on day 15 of my cycle, I read online you can test more then once a day after getting a flashing smiley face to be sure you don't miss your peak surge. I'm on day 19 of my cycle and still having a flashing smiley face. Could testing more then once a day messed up the digital reader? Should I continue testing with the same tester? After I read that testing more then once a day could mess it up I bought a new kit on day 18 of my cycle and I used the new tester and old tester on the same first morning urine and on the tester I used more then once a day I received a flashing smiley face, but on the new tester received an empty circle? I'm so confused,please help clarify

The number of high fertility days displayed each cycle is personal and may be more or less than 2. It's normal for some women to see more than 2 high fertility days in all or some of their cycles. Once your digital holder detects an increase in estrogen, high fertility will be displayed. Your holder will continue to display high fertility until a significant rise in LH is detected. If an LH surge is detected, peak fertility will be displayed continually for 48 hours. If an LH surge isn't detected, your digital holder will continue to display high fertility until tests are missed for 3 consecutive days.
It's very important to use the same holder for an entire cycle of testing. If you switch holders in the midst of your cycle, you can expect to unexpected results. The first test in a cycle establishes a baseline and should read low fertility, and this would be why the 2nd holder you started using showed an empty circle.
Feel free to call us at 1-800-321-3279 and mention reference #FB305 if you'd like to talk these points. We're open weekdays from 8:30am-5:00pm ET and would be happy to help.

As you have seen High Fertility already, you may test later on in the day with urine that has been in your bladder for at least 4 hours. You may consume fluid during this time, enough to keep you hydrated, but just avoid having excessive fluid as this may dilute the urine.
Hope this helps,
Sally
