Clearblue Fertility Monitor can help you by identifying the days you are most likely to become pregnant. When you make love on these days, you have the greatest chance of conceiving your baby.

There are only a limited number of days during the menstrual cycle when making love can le3ad to pregnancy. Conception is most likely to occur if you make love on the day ovaries release a new egg (ovulation), or during the days leading up to it.

Most home ovulation tests only identify the 2 peak fertile days during the cycle, by detecting the surge in luteinising hormone (LH) that triggers ovulation. The Clearblue Fertility Monitor not only shows these 2 peak Fertility days, but also identifies additional days when you can conceive. By detecting a rise in estrogen, it can inform most women of an extra 1-5 days of high fertility prior to their peak fertility. This means you know all the days on which making love is most likely to lead to contraception, allowing you to identify those days when you are most likely to conceive your baby.

Questions and Answers

How accurate is the Clearblue Fertility Monitor?

The Clearblue Fertility Monitor has been shown in laboratory testing to be 99% accurate in detecting the LH surge in cycles in which an LH surge had also been identified by a reference method. Most women will have 1-5 days warning of their peak Fertility, during which the High Fertility will be displayed.

I've been using basal body temperature and home ovulation tests. Does the Clearblue Fertility Monitor replace these?

The advantages of the Clearblue Fertility Monitor is that, unlike the basal body temperature method, it predicts ovulation before it happens. The basal body temperature method can only tell you after ovulation has occurred, which may be too late to take advantage of all your fertility days. Home ovulation tests detect the LH surge which precedes ovulation by 24- 36 hours, thus identifying your 2 most fertile days each cycle. The Clearblue Fertility Monitor gives additional warning of ovulation by identifying days of high fertility as well as the peak Fertility days indicated by home ovulation tests. It also counts your days for you, tells you which days to test, interprets the tests, displays your fertility levels every day and develops a personalised understanding of your cycle.

How effective will the Clearblue Fertility Monitor be for me?

The Clearblue Fertility Monitor can detect Peak Fertility in cycles of 21 to 42 days in length.

If you have had intercourse during high and peak Fertility it can help maximise your chance of conceiving a baby, It is important, however, to remember that there are no products available that can guarantee success in achieving pregnancy.

Will hormonal contraceptive affect the result?

After using hormonal contraceptive (or emergency contraception) your cycle can be irregular and may take some time to stabilise. You may wish to wait until you have had at least two natural menstrual cycles in a row lasting 21-42 days before using the Clearblue Fertility Monitor.

What conditions or medication could interfere with my test results?

Always read the manufactures instructions in any medication you are taking before using Clearblue Fertility Monitor. Most medications (e.g. simple pain killers and cold remedies) should not affect the way the Clearblue Fertility Monitor works. However, certain medical conditions and medications can adversely affect the performance of the Clearblue Fertility Monitor

What should I do if I pressed the 'm' button by mistake?

Don't worry, you can cancel it. If you set the 'm' button o9n the wrong day, you must cancel it. To cancel, press the 'm' button for 5 seconds until the 'm' symbol disappears. When the 'm' button is released, the display screen will return to its original state.

What if I am unable, or forgot to set the 'm' button on day 1 of my cycle?

If you are on day 2, 3, 4 or before your chosen 'm' button setting time on day 5 of your cycle, simply hold the 'm' button down at your chosen 'm' button setting time, and release it when the correct day number is shown on the display. The monitor will then work correctly. You can also do this to set a different testing window during days 2 to 5 of your cycle, if testing window set on day 1 is inconvenient

If you are not able to set the 'm' button during the first 5 days of your cycle, you should wait until your next cycle starts to set the 'm' button.

If my period starts during the day and I have to wait until the next morning before setting the 'm' button should I set it as day 1 or day 2?

You should set as day 1.You must always set the m button the morning after your period starts. The Clearblue Fertility Monitor understands this as day 1

Can I use more tests sticks if I want to?

No, tests can only be performed when requested by the monitor.

How do I know if I have inserted the test correctly? Do I ever need to try again?

If you have inserted a test stick correctly a flashing stick symbol will indicate that the test stick is being read. Do not remove the test stick until requested to do so.

My monitor did not display a peak fertility symbol this cycle. What does this mean?

There may be a small percentage of cycles in which you do not see a peak fertility status. There are a number of possible reasons for this, for example, a test may have been missed or performed incorrectly or you nay not have ovulated this cycle. An unusually short or long cycle may result in Peak fertility not being detected. If peak fertility is not detected, the monitor may show High Fertility for an extended period of time. This may be as long as 19 days. If it occurs, it is unlikely that you will be fertile during this entire time.

If you do not see peak fertility over a number of cycles, speak to your doctor.
