Today I got a high fertility symbol on Clear Blue Ferility Monitor but regular OPK stick still showed faint line.

Is it showing 2 bars, or 3 bars with the egg? The monitor will start to show results when it begins detecting the LH surge and bump you up to 2 bars. Usually about 2-3 days before you ovulate. It is beneficial to BD in advance of ovulation, so that's what it is supposed to help you with. When you actually ovulate, it will show 3 bars and a little egg. Also, the CB monitor works with FMU, whereas the test sticks work better with afternoon urine. Hope that helps!

That means you should BD today, and the day after, according to what my doctor says. It is also beneficial if you have BD in the last couple days, but today would definitely be good! That's what I like about the monitor, if you O early or late, you know what is going on! Mine has usually shown 2 bars for 2 days, 3 bars for 2 days and then the 2 bars again for 2 days.
