Is this ovulation test reliable ?

[JadeL]

Evening all
During May was the first time I've tracked my cycle to the best I could. So I bought these clear blue ovulation sticks with a digital indicator , a smiley face showing it's detected your LH surge. My last AF began April 24th and lasted 5 days with spotting on the 6th. I started testing daily for my LH surge from may 8th which was cd 15 , the sticks detected my LH surge on may 13th which was cd 20 .
Do these numbers seem right?
I'm now on day 31 , no AF yet but I'm curious as to whether clear blue is reliable in detecting your LH surge? I'd hate to think it was a false reading and I missed it . X

I always found it very accurate for me, and it tallied up with the cheap opks which would have a super strong line at the same time the clear blue showed a peak! The first month can sometimes not pick it up as the monitor works to get to know your cycle but great it seems to have for you. CD20 for a longer cycle seems fine, id expect your period to show between cd33 and 35 to give you a 13 to 15 day luteal phase, which is within the 'norm' (I use that term loosely though)

Fingers crossed you caught the egg and your period doesn't come at all xx

I'm really hoping I don't have a period. I feel like I've had a tight stomach and fairly bloated, as well as back ache and headaches but knowing my luck it'll just be me thinking those things up in my head lol
Thank you for your reply though, made me feel a bit better about the reliability of the kit. I was reading on the best pregnancy tests and saw clear blue was near the bottom so thought I'd best check with their ovulation tests too X

I used to ov on cd 18-20 and had a 33 day cycle. So seems right to ov around then. If you havn't already download a period app and eventually it'll work out when you will ovulate. Took a few months for mine but it was always within 2 days in which it predicted.
I always tested early but 10dpo was probably the earliest I got a good line x

Yeah I have th app called Clue, it currently says my average Cycle length is 32 days but my cycle lengths are all over the place. The day I started using the ovulation tests was the day the app said I was in my fertile window, my most fertile day was the day after the app said was my most fertile day, so it didn't do bad in predicting that. Lol x
