OPK malfunction

[hb_pencil]

Hi everyone,

I have been using Digital Clear Blue Easy fertility sticks. The monitor has been working well. Friday and Saturday, I got O's. However, yesterday, the stick sign that generally shows up after inserting the test stick, did not start blinking as it usually does, after laying it down flat on a counter, post-flow. It kept steady. I had to throw away the stick eventually.

Today, I tested again in the AM. This time, I shook the monitor and the "instruction manual" sign showed up. I don't understand what I am doing wrong, just doing wht I have been all along. Any clue?

Thank you.

Are you using the monitor or the smiley face stick thing? I don't know much about the monitor but the smiley face stick thing will display oddly if you get too much pee on the stick.

Have you tried calling the Clearblue help line? They might be able to give you more advice or a freebie or something if they feel the tests are not working right.

I have been using the smiley face stick thing. Hm, too much pee might explain it. Will try calling the help line Thanks SC!
