Advanced Fertility Monitor

Okay. :-) This is a long review. For those trying to get pregnant: I used this monitor along with the ClearBlue digital OPK, some cheap LH OPK strips from Amazon (blue box with colorful words about pregnancy), a pocket microscope to track ferning, and a BBT thermometer to track basal temp along with the Period Tracker app (pink flower app) and my FitBit Versa women wellness app section. EACH METHOD MATCHED. Everything down to my predicted ovulation on my tracking apps (was off by a day on both) lined up with an LH surge and peak fertility. I believe this can be trusted to help get pregnant, but do maybe 3-4 cycles—probably by cycle 4 you will be pregnant! For those just trying out tracking methods: This device is a powerful asset to the tools out there now for at home tracking of LH surges and estrogen level increases. I wouldn’t use it by itself because it may read incorrectly or display an error, which would have been EXTREMELY disheartening if I were trying to get pregnant and that was my only testing method—this thing is expensive, BUT THE TEST STICKS ARE ROBBERY. I was dumb and bought mine at CVS because they weren’t in stock anywhere else and I had to test the next morning so I couldn’t order them in time from Amazon—THEY WERE $80! I digress.... Anyway, the monitor stores your info for 6 months then deletes your first month to make room for month 7, so keep that in mind. It was accurate with my other tracking methods but was a little annoying to use because you can only set it up to test ON DAYS 1-4 OF YOUR CYCLE and your testing window of 6 hours CANNOT BE CHANGED ONCE YOU CHOOSE IT. Choose your window wisely and take into account if you sleep in on the weekends, as I missed my window by 30 minutes once and almost missed it a second time. For those wanting it as contraception: I hope this was your ultimate last resort or you’re rolling in dollars, because this thing plus the test sticks are expensive. You would DEFINITELY be better off buying the cheap LH test strips on the market and maybe using 1 or 2 other methods that are free to you (checking cervical position/texture and cervical mucus). Otherwise, this is just another tool to help you keep track of your lady cycle (did I mention it’s expensive...?) and it is wholly unnecessary when condoms and Plan B’s exist. It is nice to have and it has an easy-to-read calendar which makes avoiding your fertile days a breeze, but keep in mind that just because your fertile window has passed, it doesn’t mean you can’t still get pregnant. Use caution when trying NOT to conceive—these products are mostly for those wanting to become pregnant so they aren’t on your side to begin with! Overall it worked for me, I was thrilled with the results and I believe this will help me get pregnant when I am ready. It matched other OPK tests, my saliva ferned in time with the results, and my body temp increased as I approached ovulation and went back to normal after. The test window was a pain though. However, if you use the dip method (essential if you’re using multiple tests) it is potentially less annoying and you probably won’t waste a stick because I used the monitor sticks with the ClearBlue Advanced Digital monitor and they matched. Couldn’t use the Digital sticks with the monitor, though, even though they seem the same. But if you’re out of options except a fertility specialist and the money is worth it to you, GET THIS THING. It worked for me. (33 day cycle, no ovarian issues). I don’t regret buying it, but I also had a very positive first experience with it. It arrived right on time for me to set it up on day 4 of my cycle.

My husband convinced me to buy this "dumb" monitor (no apps, no wifi connection) and I'm honestly glad that's what we went with in the end. This does the bare minimum needed and it does it perfectly well. We ended up getting pregnant in only three months! Some "downsides" - you cannot change the testing time frame until your next period, but I think that's just a practical need for any fertility testing. It also is annoying to have to wait 5 minutes to see the results, but not too bad. As a warning, I did have trouble getting a steady result the first month I was off birth control. The instruction manual warned that it can take up to two months to get accurate results after stopping birth control. Just something to keep in mind for any fertility testing!

I ordered the Clearblue Fertility Monitor to help me detect my exact ovulation dates. I have uterine fibroids and felt like the phone apps I was using were not as accurate. My OBGYN and primary health visits are always clear: you should have no issue conceiving. After several months of "focused, tracking, monitoring, using apps" trying to conceive (December 2017-May 2018), I researched products, and decided, based upon prior verified reviews of the Clearblue Fertility monitor, that I would order one. I ordered the machine in May 2018, but could not use it because I missed the logging window for my cycle. I used it in June 2018 and did not conceive. I had 5 High days and maybe 2-3 peak days. The process was very easy. You calibrate the machine. Enter your new cycle. Set the time you wish to take the test each day. Take the test daily and wait until the machine gives you your High Days and Peak Days. Then, you enjoy intimacy with your partner on the suggested days. P.S. I suggest that you use a cup when testing versus your urine stream. RESULTS: It is now July 2018, and I am 4 weeks, 3 days pregnant. This monitor works and my hubby and I are so blessed. Our bundle arrives March 2019. If you have a condition like fibroids or have been trying to conceive using phone apps, stop wasting your time and tears. Order this machine and the sticks. Yes, the machine is 100 plus and the sticks are 70ish, but the cost of the products far outweigh the mental and emotional anguish one may feel after months and months of trying. In my case, I was simply missing my peak days. I would never have known this had I not bought the monitor. We are excited. So, good luck to all families trying to conceive. I have several friends who spent thousands on fertility treatments. I wonder if they could have saved their money by simply buying this machine. I am living proof that this machine works. It only took two months using the machine for it to work. Really, the instructions inform users that the machine has to get to know your body. You do the math. I was married in July 2017 and began seriously trying in December 2017. I was unsuccessful for five months. After only two months, I'm not pregnant nearly one year to the date of our wedding. Don't over think this process. Order the machine. READ THE DIRECTIONS. Give it a shot. If it doesn't work, then seek alternative methods. Wishing you all much success!

Don't waste your money or energy - this system is TRASH. ❌Design ❌Protocol ❌Results ❌Price Here's my experience as concisely as I can say it: 👎🏻Cycle 0: purchased to teach fertility before period returned postpartum. You NEED to have a period to use this system or pay $$$ for a consultant to "hack" the system with you ahead of your cycle returning. I've already spent $100 for this monitor and test sticks, and now I have to spend more to even use it for how I need it??? 👎🏻Setup Cycle: You start testing on Day 6, but you have to set up your cycle on Days 1-4. I set up the morning of day 4 but couldn't test for 2 more days. Why can't I just wait until Day 6 and do it all at once? It should at least be an option. 👎🏻 Packaging: better keep a pair of scissors in your bathroom. These test packages are Fort Knox. 👎🏻Read errors/multiple test sticks per day: I used the 15 second dip method that was recommended. Some days, it worked seamlessly. Most days, I had to use a minimum of 2-3 different sticks. With each stick being $1+, it sucks to toss them in the trash with no info provided. I also learned the hard way to keep my urine until the test proves to work or you just flush your precious "first urine of the day" which you must have for testing. 👎🏻Poor results: even once I got my sticks to register, I had 10 days in a row of "High" readings (starting on Day 7!?) and still NO peak readings 17 days in. I DID see 2 lines appear for 3 days, so I'm assuming that was my LH peaking. Not that the monitor indicated it. Also there's no "real" hormone data. It's just low, high, peak. You can understand that with with "smiley face" ovulation test sticks. 👎🏻Travel: good luck traveling with this system. Pack 2x the sticks you should need and a cup so you don't have to humble yourself and ask your aunt for one... Hope you aren't traveling during the 5 hour morning test window, or worse, to a different timezone. Oh, and bring the instruction manual for when (not if) you have errors, you can read what to do. What a waste of time and money. Spare yourself.

These Clearblue fertility monitor test sticks have been a huge help in tracking my cycle accurately. They’re easy to use with the monitor and give clear, reliable results every time. I love that the system tracks two hormones, which makes it feel more precise than basic ovulation tests. It’s reassuring to know exactly when my most fertile days are, and it definitely helps take some guesswork out of trying to conceive. The box has enough sticks for several cycles, so it’s a good value too. Everything came well packaged and in perfect condition. Overall, these are excellent test sticks that work exactly as promised and make fertility tracking simple and stress free.

We bought the 30-test kit direct from Amazon, mainly because the price is better than what we can buy locally. It is still a bit pricy but still a better price than most local stores. I also recommend making sure you get this product from a seller you can trust in order to get good quality tests that are not expired. She has a bit of an irregular cycle so it is difficult to determine her peak days for fertility, so she got these to help determine the right times as we found that guessing on our own wasn’t really working. As other reviewers, have said, it is important to follow the instructions for these tests or you will not get accurate results. The kit tests ovulation over several days with a clear, easy to read digital display that shows low fertility as a circle and a flashing smiley face as high fertility with peak fertility shown as a solid smiley face. With each woman’s body chemistry being different, how these results show up is dependent on the individual. The important thing to remember is to start the test as directed in the instructions. When done as directed, the tests are accurate. This is really good for helping figure out her irregular cycle. So, now we have an accurate way to predict peak fertility, our fingers are now crossed that the swimmers make it to the destination. 4 stars

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for over 2 years now. We have used every ovulation test available at our local drugstore & decided it was time to give this a try. I've attached pictures of the information booklet, I hope will help you make your own informative decision. Wish I had seen them before purchasing but it wouldn't have changed my mind. My first assessment was this is a sleek and easy to use touch screen. However I noticed that the cover of the monitor is white, not purple as the picture had indicated. I found out this is a newer model, so that doesn't bother me. It took only a few minutes to list my cycle start date and time. My cycle had already started which made me worried I'd have to wait a whole cycle before using this. Then it has you put in your test time window & an alarm (optional). It then told me my next test date, which completely takes the guess work out of everything! I'm liking this already. When purchasing this I didn't see where it lists that this monitor can also use "pregnancy test strips" however I was pleasantly surprised to find information about how to use them on the booklet (strips sold separately). Fertility Monitor test sticks are required and sold separately. The information booklet included was very informative and easy to understand. This raises my confidence & I feel better about my decision to purchase this, despite the cost. ** I did not receive this product for free or at a discounted price in exchange for my review. I do not anticipate any problems with it's performance in the future, however, should I experience any adverse issues I will come back and update this review accordingly. I hope to come back and update with news of a positive pregnancy test.

I’m 37 and it took me 3 months to get pregnant. I already have a 5 year old. I recently suffered a stillbirth at 23 weeks (back in April 2017) and after trying to get pregnant in August with no luck, figured I would go back to Clearblue for help via their fertility monitor. To get pregnant with my 5 year old, I used this monitor (older version) and got pregnant on the second cycle. With my current pregnancy, I believe it took 3 cycles to get pregnant because the previous 2 cycles I did not have sex on the peak days. The cycle I got pregnant, had sex on the first peak day. My advice to couples is that this monitor is a good tool to have but ensure you have sex on either one of the peak days or both to maximize your chances. Also, it’s a bother but try to chart your basal body temperatures. It will help you to ascertain whether what the monitor has told you is correct. A mistake that I had made with the monitor was to set the testing window at 5am - 11am which meant I could test anywhere between those hours. The problem with that is, if your LH surges at let’s say 1pm, you would have missed your opportunity (if you have a short surge) and by the time you test the next day, the monitor may not show the peak (since the LH surge was short). So, what I did the cycle I got pregnant was to change the testing window to start at I believe 12pm and I would test at 2pm instead. That gives the monitor the opportunity to better catch the LH surge. The monitor is costly and the sticks are as well but totally worth it in the end. I also used the clear blue digital to get my positive. Good luck to all couples trying to conceive. Be patient, be positive and definitely take your prenatals when trying to conceive.

Caja llega dañada y no permite devoluciones. No tiene tiras y ni sabe cuales son las tiras que le quedan al aparato.

Product was damaged and the screen was cracked and didn't work.

Beaucoup de restrictions dans l'utilisation. Comme s'il etait trop standardisé, ne permettant pas une utilisation personnalisée. Mais fonctionne très bien!

Product not yet tested. But quality upon arrival very disappointing. For +$250 would expect that there was care for the product. Box was open and frayed as seen in video.
