Just got a flashing smiley!!
It's not the flat smiley so should I wait until I get the high peak before I call the RE or should I call them now? Always used the regular smiley digital opk.

Re: Just got a flashing smiley!!
Call when you get the reg smiley. The flashing one is just high fertility not the actual surge.

Re: Just got a flashing smiley!!
I have never gotten a positive result from FMU (ttc since November). All my positive results including the 2 that ended in BFPs I got around 6 or 7 pm after not peeing or drinking much for about 4 hrs. I would usually eat lunch and then "fast" and right before dinner I would test.
I strongly believe FMU doesn't work for everyone. I was using CBEFM which insists on FMU and I never got peak - even when later in the day I got a positive result on two separate OPK tests.
When I got my BFP this month, I got the flashy in the afternoon on Thurs, and then tested the following AM (Fri) with CBEFM and flashy test and regular OPK and got nothing!! That afternoon I tested again and got two positives. The following AM (Sat) I got three negatives again (CBEFM, flashing smiley and regular OPK) and later that afternoon - two positives. Those were my two peak days (Fri and Sat following a flashy Thurs afternoon) and if I relied on FMU I would have missed it.
In case this is confusing the reason I had 3 tests in the AM and 2 in te afternoon is bc I could only use CBEFM once a day in the AM. Each time (morning and afternoon) I also used a flashy OPK and regular CB OPK. (Neurotic munch?!?!?  )
Hope this helps. Let me know if you didn't understand anything I'm trying to say I just woke up!
