HELP- Strange OPK results

[safjaf]

Hello,

I have been using clear blue digital ovulation tests (dual hormone detector) for 11 days following an ectopic pregnancy.

First 7 showed a big empty circle (no estrogen highs and no LH peak). I then had 3 days of highs (flashing smiling face) so expecting a LH surge and big smiley face but today got a negative with the empty circle so 4 days of highs and no LH surge.

As I hadn’t hit a peak I used four tests with the same urine sample and got different results with each test! The image shows the results and the stick lines. The smiley faces were actually flashing but of course picture doesn’t show that.

Has this happened to anyone else? What do the lines mean? They all look the same despite different readings on the holder?!

Thanks!!

It was my first month using those tests so I'm no pro but I've read to ignore whatever lines are on the test stick, the reader tells you what you need to know.

Has hcg completely left your system do you know? As that can mess with opk readings

Is there a reason you are using 4 different test holders? I've read that the test holder tracks your previous test readings to look for the increase of hormones, so if you haven't used the same amount of sticks on each holder this cycle that could be why they are giving a different result xx

Yes HCG level had decreased to nothing several weeks ago and pregnancy tests have been showing negative for the same amount of time.

I used two initially because I got a negative so used another holder I had not used and then got a high. So with two results telling me different things I waited several hours then used four to rule out the negative one being incorrect.

Seems very odd!

Sometimes it takes a while for hormones to settle down to a regular cycle after a MC but I an not sure about the different results from the same sample.
