question about the ovulation tests

I need your professional opinion, ladies!

I tested with both internet cheapie and clear blue digital this am. I got a solid smiley on the digital but the cheapie is medium dark but negative (can post a pic if needed:)). Usually I go by the cheapie, but those couple of times when I did both, they were both positive at the same time. My question is - do you think I need to start counting my 36 hours since the smiley or wait for the cheapie to turn positive? Any input is greatly appreciated!!

    I'd go by the solid smiley. I think the chance of a false negative is much higher than the chance of a false positive.

    Were you testing on the same urine (using the pee-in-a-cup method)?

    I would definitely go with the smiley. For me, it is really hard to catch my surge with the Clearblue digital, so if/when I do, I consider it to be the most positive result I can get!

    Good luck!

    Smiley for sure. Like Mommy2016, I find it harder to catch the surge with Clearblue, so when I see that smiley I feel pretty confident it is correct.

    Thank you, ladies!

    I still get negative on the cheap ones. Weird...

    Not to confuse you but I'm going to be the one different opinion but only if you have PCOS or a similar disorder. Let me preface this by saying I have only used CB once but here is why. We were trying with a KD at the time and I got a solid smiley but I had no other ovulation symptoms and my IC was negative. Because I had already been working with an RE I called him and went in for an ultrasound. The US confirmed that it was a false surge and my doc said with PCOS you sometimes get multiple LH surges. My real surge happened 5 days later and I had all of my normal symptoms. Best wishes to you!
