Detects more fertile days

The Monitor tracks two key fertility hormones, luteinizing hormone (LH) and estrogen, to pinpoint your two Peak fertility days plus additional High fertility days prior to ovulation. The number of fertile days the Monitor identifies will be personal to you and varies woman to woman and cycle to cycle based on your individual hormone profile.

Adapts to your cycle, stores your data

Q1. The Monitor is more expensive than other methods, is it really so much better?

A1. The Clearblue Fertility Monitor is proven to increase the chances of getting pregnant by 82% in the first cycle of use (1). It accurately tracks the changing levels of 2 key fertility hormones to identify more fertile days than traditional ovulation tests that monitor only 1 hormone (2), so you have more opportunities to get pregnant naturally. With an intuitive touch screen, it’s easy to use and read the results. It personalizes to your cycle, you can input when you have your period and when you have sex; then your information is displayed on the calendar and the unique cycle summary screen. This means you have a record you can take to your OB/GYN for discussion, so you don’t waste any time and you enable them to give you immediate feedback and action steps. It’s the most advanced fertility monitor from the #1 OB/GYN recommended brand (3).

Q2. Can’t I just calculate when I’m fertile with a calendar or an app?

A2. The fertile days vary each cycle, even when your periods are regular, but traditional calendar methods work on the basis that everyone is the same so are very often not accurate for an individual woman. Tracking your personal fertility hormones is a sure way to know when your fertile days are in ‘real time’, it’s proven in a study to be 2x as accurate as traditional calendar methods (8).

Q3. Isn’t taking my temperature and charting easy and accurate?

A3. Basal body temperature (BBT is your temperature ‘at rest’) has to be taken first thing in the morning before you move out of bed and can be affected by many day to day events such as a late night, fever, and some medications. Also, your BBT rises AFTER ovulation has occurred, so it’s too late to predict ovulation and to conceive in that cycle. You need to chart over several cycles to build up a pattern for BBT to be predictive and in a study it has been shown to predict the most fertile days in only one third of cycles (9).

Q4. Can I only get pregnant when I ovulate?

A4. Women are fertile for about 6 days each cycle (it varies woman to woman and cycle to cycle). The day of ovulation is the most fertile day, but sperm can live for about 5 days in a woman’s body in the days leading up to ovulation. Having sex on High and Peak fertility days identified by the Clearblue Fertility Monitor gives you more opportunities to get pregnant than with traditional ovulation tests (2) that only identify your 2 Peak fertility days. Research shows that women who know when they are most fertile each cycle are likely to get pregnant sooner than women who don’t (10).

About the Clearblue Fertility Monitor

Taking conception to the next level, the Clearblue Fertility Monitor maximizes a woman’s chances of conceiving a baby by identifying 3x more fertile days compared to traditional ovulation tests. This electronic, hand-held monitor tracks a woman’s personal cycle, detecting two key ovulation hormones: luteinizing hormone (LH) and estrogen. Using the two hormones, the device can pinpoint not only a woman’s 2 peak fertility days, but also 1-5 additional high fertility days prior to ovulation – for a total of up to 6 fertile days.

How the Fertility Monitor Works

There are only a few days per cycle when a woman is fertile and can conceive. The following chart outlines the phases of a woman’s menstrual cycle, showing how the two most fertile days coincide with the LH surge (24-36 hours before ovulation) and the release of an egg (ovulation). These are a woman’s 2 best days to conceive a baby.

However, it is generally acknowledged that sperm can survive up to 5 days in the sperm-supportive mucus found in a woman’s body during the fertile days of her cycle meaning there is a fertile window of typically up to 6 days: 5 days before ovulation plus the day of ovulation. Traditional ovulation tests like Clearblue Digital Ovulation Test track the LH hormone and identify a 2 day window of fertility. But the Fertility Monitor also tracks estrogen levels, which rise just before the LH surge, extending the fertile window typically up to 6 days. This extended window can help to reduce the time it takes to conceive² as it gives more days to try, plus gives advance notice of the 2 peak days.

Testing Directions

The Fertility Monitor is easy to use and gives you clear accurate results.

On the first day of your period, you will press the M button to let the monitor know a new cycle has begun.
Each day, you must switch on the Monitor and follow its directions.
On mornings when the Monitor requires further information about your hormone changes, a test will be requested.
Simply remove the test stick from its wrapper. (The majority of women need 10 test sticks each cycle. Women with irregular or long cycles may have to use 20 test sticks each cycle.) Point the Sampling End of the test stick downstream in your urine for 3 seconds.
Take the cap off the handle and place it over the Sampling End of the test stick and remove any excess urine.
Holding the test stick by the cap, insert the test into the Monitor’s Test Stick Slot, pressing down until it clicks into place.
The display will flash for approximately 5 minutes while reading your information.
After 5 minutes, the Remove Test Stick symbol will flash. Once you have removed the test stick, your fertile status will be displayed.

Low fertility = very small chance of conceiving
High fertility = increased chance of conceiving
Peak fertility = highest chance of conceiving

More about Predicting Ovulation

As the diagram above illustrates, timing is key when trying to conceive a baby. While there are manual charting and calculator methods that may be used to predict ovulation, these methods often fall short. They require tracking a woman’s typical cycle length over several months. However, every woman’s cycle is unique and cycles for any one woman can vary from cycle to cycle – making calendar-based predictions unreliable prediction as well as time-consuming. That’s why Clearblue provides a range of products to help predict ovulation without months of charting. You can learn more about predicting ovulation and which method is right for you in our Ovulation Test Buying Guide.
