Clear blue advanced OPKs

[rt2008]

This is the first month Ive used these. I usually stick to checking CM and using wondfos which has worked for me but for some reason I wanted to give these a try this month. However I think I'm regretting it because I'm now on day 5 of 'high' readings and no 'peak' readings yet. Is this normal?? I'm on cd 12 so I think based off of past months I should be ovulating soon, but I've had so many early losses over the last 8 months or so that my o dates are a little screwed up. If you've used these, how many days of high did you get before peak?

I used them this month for the first time. I had three days of high before I got my peak reading.

Starry used this - not tagging her, but I bet she'd be happy to help! She said something like that it's learning your cycle, so the first month shows a lot of readings and it gets more accurate as you go.

I use them; I get too frustrated trying to compare the darkness of lines in regular opk's.  I for some reason never get the "high" flashing smiley reading.  I always go straight from the blank circle "low" reading to the solid smiley "peak" reading.  Literally only one cycle that I used them I got the flashing smileys for 3 days and then got my period on the last day, I had started them too late.  So I don't consider the high reading to be that reliable, but the peak definitely is.  Whenever I get a peak, I also have ovulation pains/cramping the next day, and then my temps confirm O, so I am confident that it's accurate.

I know a lot of women who use the digitalis but not the advanced digitals. For me I prefer to have the smiley or blank circle and not have to deal with the flashing smileys.

The flashing smiley is starting to annoy me lol. I'm not sure if I'll try them again next month or not. Thanks for the responses!
