Do i trust CB or IC ovulation tests?? Conflicting results...
I have been using the CB advanced digital ov test for last few months and they have been fairly standard, two days circle, 1 day flashing and then solid smiley on CD14/15 followed by AF in and around 14 days later.
However this month started testing on CD9, got 2 low/circles and then a solid/peak yesterday on only CD11! So no flashing smileys in between? What does this mean? This has kind of thrown me off. Luckily we dtd on Cd8 and 10.
I tested twice yesterday and once today with IC ov tests (Core tests from inhealth) and they only had a faint line.
I think i left the CB test in urine for over the 15 seconds - could this have given me a false positive? Do i believe the IC or the CB? So confused now. I know i can just keep dtd every second day but would like to know what day I ov. Dont chart and have never been able to make much sense of my cm so am dependent on the ov tests..

I had a similar experience last month. I had been using the CB digitial ovulation monitor and had 4 days of low (from CD 11 - 14) and then 2 days of high (CD15/16) but I felt that I was ovulating on CD 14 as I'd had 4 days of ewcm and my temp dipped on CD13 so I took 2 other brands of OPK's and both were positive on CD 14, even though the CD digital said I was on low fertility. Unfortunately I run out of test sticks for my CB digital and didn't test CD 17 on wards so I don't know if it would have given me a peak fertility on CD 17. However I used the other 2 brands of OPK's on CD 15 and CD 16 and both were testing negative even though the CB digital said high fertility. I ended up having a blood test on CD 21 for progesterone levels and the results showed I definitely ovulated. My temp did rise on CD 15 so I think I did ovulate on CD 14 even though the CB digital had said low fertility. Sorry hope that doesn't sound too confusing. I seem to ovulate a different day each cycle. GL
