Just to confirm Solid or Blinking Smiley is better?

I'm so confused. OPK users with Clear Blue...

Isn't it Blinking Smiley for a couple days, then solid smiley (which is the main event that you want to see) and then BD on all days you see a smiley whether or not it's blinking but the solid days are exact ovulation days (for the next two days.)

No?

My girlfriends that both got their BFP on their first try said they never remembered having a solid smiley and they think it was only ever blinking...

Asking because it's my first cycle trying and have had 5 days of blinking smileys.

TIA!

Yes the solid is what you want. I could be wrong but I never heard of blinking for 5 days. You may have ovulated in there, but your body didn't have enough of the hormone to get a solid. Not sure tho. If it happens again I highly suggest temping with the opk's. Then you'll know for sure when u ovulated. Temping really isn't scary or hard.

You can get a basal body thermometer from CVS for about $10. To chart my temps, I used the Fertility Friend App. Its super easy to manage and track on this app. Good luck!

This is exactly what I did. I realized the first month I may have been missing my o bc I thought it was earlier. The second month we bd'd through what the fertility friend said and I got my bfp
