Hi everyone,
Am wondering if someone can help me please.
I have been using the Clearblue digital opk's for last 2 months and never got a smiley face. I decided to use a saliva microscope this month along with the opk's to try and pin point ovulation.
Last month I had a crazy 44 day cycle so I decided to test later in my cycle this time. I tested on a Monday with a negative and started the next day with my saliva scope as I have used this successfully in the past. I started getting some ferning on Wednesday, however I didn't check with the digital opk for some stupid reason! I got strong ferning the next day so I tested with my digital at 2pm Thursday and got my first positive smiley. We didn't dtd that night as we are swaying girl and I needed another day of abstinence for hubby! Next day I tested again at 2pm and got a negative opk, I did have ovulation cramps most of the day so figure I had ovulated at some point although not sure when! We dtd 9pm that night.
My questions is: if I tested on Monday with my digital and got a negative, then a positive on my next test which was Thursday, could I have missed my first real positive as doesn't the digital detect a rise in lh since the last test? So what if my surge was on Wednesday but it didn't pick it up til Thursday when I tested? Then I would've completely missed O day!!! Am I correct in my thinking?
