Two tests, same urine, two different results.
I finally got a solid smiley yesterday after 8 days of testing. I have two boxes so I curiously used the second box (so new digital holder) on the same urine sample and got the circle - indicating no high or peak fertility. But the original digital holder that I have been using for 8 days showed a solid smiley (2 days of circle, 5 days of flashing smiley and then day 8 got solid smiley). I was so excited for solid smiley but now the second test showed a circle I am disappointed. Are the tests accurate? Could one be faulty? How do I know if I oluvated or not? Also we dtd yesterday, on the day of solid smiley, and now my partner literally left an hour later for two weeks away at work so we have no other opportunity to dtd. What would my chances be of sex just once?

Hi kms,
The Clearblue Advanced Digital Ovulation Test establishes a baseline on the very first test done in a given cycle, it is therefore important that the first test is done on the correct day for your cycle length and the same Holder is used consistently throughout the cycle as conflicting results can be seen if more than one Holder is used.
The Holder tracks your hormone changes and adapts its sensitivity; becoming more sensitive to LH when the same Holder is used in one cycle. If you are suitable to use the test; this information can be found on the box, then your Peak Fertility result will be over 99% accurate, you can stop testing as you have found your two most fertile days.
Both Holders will automatically reset themselves and can be used again, just remember if you need to test again next cycle, use one of the Holders you have with any remaining test sticks.
Having intercourse during the time the solid smiley is dispalyed will maximise your chances of conception. Typically you would ovulate within 24-36 hours of seeing Peak Fertility.
Regards,
Sam.
