Sorry for all the OPK questions....

I know the answers seem so obvious, but it seems the expert advice on here; often seems to be different from the "directions" in the kit.....

This month I used the CBE OPK...

Saturday was a flashing smiley....so naturally we
Sunday was a solid smiley.....which according to the paper will be displayed for 2 days and to both days.... after that there is no more reason to test...

Now I know with other OPK's the + means the O is coming within 48hrs....With these does solid mean I am Oing??? (I ask because I had lots of cramping yesterday- but haven't had any EWCM at all)

So does this positive reading mean the same as the reg LINED OPK's.... because then technically I should Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.....no?

Should I continue to test- or after the + reading is there really no reason too?

Also- judging by the last few months- this O came much sooner.... like 5-6 days sooner- normal?

Re: Sorry for all the OPK questions....

The Solid Smiley is just like getting 2 exact lines on a reg. OPK. It means you will O somewhere between 12-48 hours. So yes, BD Every day for 3 Days when you get the solid smiley.

It's totally normal to O early or even late. It happens. Your cycle can change at any time. Diet Change, Exercise, Medication, Stress, etc etc. Everything and anything can change your cycle.

No more testing after solid smiley. Like it says, it remains on the testing screen for 2 days. If you really want, you can test again when it disappears, but your surge "should" be over by then. All you'll do is waste a stick so no biggie.

Good Luck!!
