Good evening everyone,
I have a question about the following. Since last January, I've stopped taking the pill.
Cycle 1: 57 days
Cycle 2: 33 days
I based myself on the 33-day cycle. Based on that, I started using the Clear Blue ovulation test. On day 18, the result was flashing positive. This stayed like that until day 26. (May 17 to May 25)
The ovulation test didn't indicate that ovulation had occurred. (48-hour smiley)
I was supposed to get my period on June 1. That didn't happen, so I did a pregnancy test. It was negative.
Now it's been another week, still no period and no positive ovulation test either.
Who can give advice? I really have no idea when I should get my period. And how is it possible that the test never indicated ovulation? What would you do? Please give some advice.

    It's possible that your cycle is longer now or that you haven't ovulated yet.

    If you haven't gotten your period after 50 days (from day 1 of your last period), I'd suggest going to see the doctor.

    When did you do the ovulation tests (time? days)?
    The smiley test isn't very handy for multiple days; you might miss the ovulation then. It's better to get dipsticks with lines.

    May 16th negative. May 17th to 25th positive, and May 26th negative again.

    The time was always the same: 4 PM.

    It can't be positive for so many days, so maybe you're reading the test wrong or I don't get it?

    You can't read the traffic unless there's an error.
    The test shows days with a higher chance of becoming pregnant using a blinking smiley, and ovulation with a smiley that stays. So the test records multiple moments, not just your ovulation.

    I would take another pregnancy test. Maybe your hCG hormone kicks in a bit later.

    Ah, I see. If you've had a flashing line, then I think you just missed your ovulation with the tests.
    I'd still do what I said in my first post.
