Did the OPK CBE
Ok what the hell, what a waste at the moment.
So I did the POS FMU and I read the direction. Easy right, well I was wrong. I first put the stick in backwards and didn't get any reading except for two icons showing a stick and a book
Then I grab another strip and this time I put it in right and you know what I got THE SAME FREAKING ICON AGAIN.
WTH
I know I had it in the cup of tinkle for the required time and I made sure it was straight when I put it on the counter (TMI sorry)
So what gives I really wasnt in the mood for testing a third time. This box cost me $40 bucks.
I know I am Oing this week because in the last 2-3 days I have gotten the stabbing pain in my ovary, and seen alittle CM (sorry again TMI)
SORRY TO VENT AND THIS POST IS TO LONG
Dear CLEAR BLUE EASY,
Your stupid test isn't so easy after all

Re: Did the OPK CBE
Did you wait for the error message to clear itself before inserting the new test strip? You have to wait 8 minutes for it to clear itself.

Oh I waited alright 15 minutes the first test and 10 the second test.
The first test I pulled out the stick and one line was dark (Right side) and the second line was light you could still see it alittle.
I don't know I have a headache at the moment.
Thanks again.

Re: Did the OPK CBE
Did you take the pink cap off before you inserted the stick? Twice I've put the stick in & then pulled the cap off which gave an error message. I had to wait for it to clear & then put the stick back in (fortunately I realized before peeing so I didn't waste a stick!).

I inserted the stick then I took off the cap and placed it in the U. Am I suppose to wait a few minutes with the cap on first. Then take the cap off and dipp in U.
God help me if this is the reason for my error. DH is laughing at me and I could strangle him right now if he was home.

Re: Did the OPK CBE
I'm confused.
Are you using the CBEFM? or the digital CBE OPKs?
If it's the OPKs, you shouldn't use FMU. You should hold it in for 4 hours, then do it in the afternoon.
With the CBE OPKs, you just take it out of the wrapper... take off the pink cap... then put the test stick in the holder, matching up the two pink arrows so they are pointing to each other. then wait for the test ready symbol to show up. then put the absorbing tip into your urine stream for 5 seconds, then in a few seconds the test symbol will start flashing (that means it's working!) then in 3 minutes, either the smiley or the circle will show up.

Thanks I will try that way next time.

Re: Did the OPK CBE
Take the cap off before you insert the stick into the reader! The couple of times I've put the stick in before taking off the cap, I'e gotten an error.

I am gonna retest tomorrow and remember to TAKE THE CAP OFF first this time. Thanks again. Do I need to put the cap back on after I dip it in the U?
