Differences between Clear Blue Digital Ovulation sticks and CBFM reading.
Hi there, wondering when I might have ovulated based on two different OPKs. I used both the Clear Blue Digital Ovulation stick and CBFM and on Sunday, had a positive on the digital test stick but only a high on the monitor. Then on Monday, the digital test stick was negative but the monitor was at peak.
So I was a little confused when my LH surge happened and when my ovulation might have happened. We BDed on Sunday and then again on Tuesday. I had major cramps on Monday (but I don't usually have O cramps though...) and then nothing on Tuesday.
Any thoughts on why the differences and which I should go with? Thanks in advance!

I would guess Mon or Tue. Leaning Monday based on your cramps. Were you tracking CM at all? Was this your first month using the CBFM?
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

I've been using the CBFM for a while (and for my first two successful pregnancies with my boys). I see a bit of a pattern though, that the digital stick usually seems more sensitive and picks up a day earlier and can continue for a day or two more and the CBFM is usually a day later for two days. CM turned creamy, cloudy Tuesday. I guess it's Monday then! In the 2WW now!
