Hi i just purchased the clearblue fertility monitor and have been using it this cycle. On CD 6-7-8, I had a low fertility reading. On CD 9,10 it read high fertility. Now im on CD 11 and it jumped to peak....already. This is very early but i know that an LH surge means that u can ovulate within the next 12-36 hours. The weird thing is that i took an ovulation test with the same urine....and it was negative. It wasnt even close. There wasnt even a second line. Could it be that the fertility monitor is just too sensitive? Last month i was using only the ovulation strips and i only started getting 2 lines on CD 14. They gradually got darker but the test line was never as dark as the control line (well part of the line was which was weird). This last until CD 17. I called clearblue fertility monitor helpline and she told me to stick with one method of testing and that using both could cause confusing results. Ya think? Lol. How is it that one test is telling me one thing and that another is telling me something else? Just so confused and irritated. Any advice or similar stories?
 
I would suggest making sure you stay hydrated before taking your tests (I've gotten many false positive opks by being dehydrated because it concentrates your urine way too much). Other than that I'd go ahead and bd just to be safe since you don't know which is accurate, and keep testing over the next few days to see what happens. Do you check your cm and cp? If both are indicating that you're in your fertile period I would definitely get to bding! :) Good luck, and lots of babydust!
 
Wow! i'm so glad u posted this! I'm the exact opposite! I've been testing with the monitor all week long! got a high on cd9 (monday) DTD on monday just in case as i had ewcm too! then didn't bd on tuesday/wednesday as I am waiting for a peak! well today (cd 14) I have all the signs of ovulation so went to the store to buy a smiley test and got an instant smiley! now i have no clue if i'm actually ovulating or what, but going crazy trying to figure it out! well we dtd last night and today just to be sure in case I am and plan on tomorrow too! i really want baby number 2!! anxious to see what everyone else's thoughts are on this!
