What is the earliest you've taken this test and gotten a positive read? (How many DPO or days into your cycle?)

This test showed positive at 9 dpo. I was temping so I was able to confirm exactly when I O'd, and I saw a temp spike at 4 dpo so I was pretty sure I was pregnant by the time I used this test. It was a faint positive at 9 dpo and continued to get darker each day. By 12 dpo the test line was darker than the control line.

I am not completely sure, as I have irregular cycles. I do know it was really early, because I found out I was four weeks pregnant a week after I got my first positive with these. If I had to estimate, I would say probably 10-12 DPO. I tested on cycle day 40 and got my first positive. Please keep in mind that I have irregular cycles, and my last one before we found out was 36 days. Best of luck, and baby dust!

8 DPO but it was a very, very faint positive. I didn't get a dark positive test until about 11 DPO.

8dpo was very very faded....most of the time I get a faint line at 11dpo(I have had 2 healthy kids and three angel babies:(,,, ). BUT it does depend on your LP which varies from woman to woman my LP is usually 13dpo. I have noticed a LOT of fades with these dip strips but they are better then the blue dye tests(they are really bad). Good luck and sticky baby dust!

Oh, and I also use an app called MyDays to see my window of ovulation so I know when to start peeing. Its been consistently 13 days after the 1st date of menstruation. I use both and it seems accurate. I did just read about a new app from an ex-Google exec called Glow, which takes the MyDays functionality to new levels with a feedback loop based on data it accumulates from users. I haven't tried it, but it sounds promising from what I read.

I got a positive result just 3 days after ovulation. Definitely early results!

I tested multiple times per day because it can be anytime when it's positive (but that's just me)! I can't remember what the instructions say, but I know some of them ask for SMU. Good Luck!

Absolutely! The "can detect as early as 6 days before your missed period" are just for people who like to know that much sooner. From experience, I have done it both ways, and it works. When it was done BEFORE my missed period, the positive line shows up faint, and they always recommend to follow up with another test about a week later anyways to be sure.

The ovulation test only detects high levels of LH. The rise in Lutenizing hormone is what triggers release of the egg, which can happen around 12 to 36 hours after the spike in LH. So the ov test will tell you if your LH levels have risen to trigger ovulation, but it doesn't guarantee that ovulation actually occurs. This is why charting basal body temperature and cervical mucous is important in correlating when ovulation actually occurs. BBT will rise at least one half degree Fahrenheit 1-2 days after ovulation occurred. The rise in bbt is a guarantees that ovulation took place but it can't be used to predict ovulation, only confrm that it happened.

I believe this "theory" is based on the idea that you'll miss your LH surge for that day, by testing urine in the morning (which would have collected overnight). However, an LH surge can happen at any time, so you could miss it for the day no matter what time you're testing (you would, however, detect it in the next test). The only drawback to testing in the morning is that if you test, for example, at 6am on day 10, you're really only testing 6 hours from day 10 and 18 hours from day 9. You may want to keep this in mind when determining your testing window. Also, it should be noted that the directions do NOT state a specific window to test in, merely that you should test at the same time every day.

I'm not a doctor but I would say either no, you didn't ovulate or you may have missed your "LH" surge. You should take the test at the same time everyday and do it between the hours of 10am -8pm. In my experience it was not question, you will know when you ovulate because the test line DOES become DARK to equally DARK as the original line.

I guess you are using The Clearblue Advanced Digital Ovulation Test. Flashing smiley - high fertility days, smiley face - peak fertility. This test here doesn't show blinking faces. 9 days of high fertility is too long, they are supposed to be 2. So maybe something is wrong with the test or you don't perform it correct. Do you insert the test stick into the holder before placing it into urine? Read the leaflet, maybe 12 and 13 in Questions and Answers have your answer.

It depends on when in your cycle you had the two yellow days. I've been using it for about 6 months too and I still get one or two yellow days after ovulation. Last month I was sick right before ovulation which completely threw off my temperatures. It even had a day where all the lights were flashing to indicate I might be pregnant (which I wasn't because then I got my period a little over a week later). I would just use caution and always use another form of birth control on the yellow days.

Ovulation test strips are to help you see the hormone surge that occurs before ovulation.(so to answer you question for the most part yes) For most women that means you should be ovulating 24-48 hours after having a positive strip. The best way to know (when or close to when you normally ovulate) is to keep track of you temps by charting, sites like fertility friend can help you with that. Ovulation strips are a tool that can make charting and pinpointing ovulation easier.

The monitor will learn your hormonal surges over a few months and will adjust. I would still start on day 1. My cycles are often 35+ days and I was able to successfully use it to get pregnant he first month.

I can tell you they're not as sensitive as clearblue plus. I took 2 of these before I took a clearblue plus. It was strongly positive, I retook this test and could BARELY see a line at all. I guess if you are okay with waiting a few extra days these will do. But for those of us that hate waiting, you might as well spring for something better. I'm convinced I would've gotten a positive a few days earlier had I started with a better test. Clearblue is 25 mIU, so I imagine this is more than that. Either that or quality control just stinks.

I'm still in the early phase (less than 3 months taking the supplement). I'll know more hopefully within the next month. The real test will be my next doctor's visit in January.

It happened to me 2 months ago and I kept on getting flashing smileys for 25 days . Thought this test is expired then figured out i ovulated day 35 which was confirmed by blood work done to test my progesteron levels . Had an unovulatory cycle for the 1st time that month! So keep on testing you might just be ovulating later this month. It can happen!! Good luck to you�

Picked up my pg at 9 dpo. Way more sensitive than the digital tests. Only thing is you need to wait about 15 minutes to see the faint line

I know they pick up better than first response early response, I had a faint positive with these 4 days past ovulation when my dr's office didn't even show I was pregnant on a blood test .
