Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor Product Review
For years, fertility monitors have helped tens of thousands of women conceive sooner – by pinpointing when a woman is most fertile. Several different diagnostic kits fall under the category “fertility monitor”, including saliva ovulation tests like Fertile Focus, as well any kind of urine LH ovulation predictor kits. However, when you hear the word fertility monitor, this typically refers to the ClearBlue (aka ClearPlan) fertility monitor.
The ClearBlue fertility monitor, unlike other tests, is “computerized” and fully automated, and is even PC friendly with a data port that can upload fertility data to your personal computer.
So how does the Clear Blue fertility monitor work?
The ClearBlue Easy Fertility Monitor works by tracking two reproductive hormones – the luteinizing hormone (lh) and estrogen levels present in urine samples. Based on the start date of the menstrual cycle, the monitor will ask you to perform test stick readings for 10 or 20 consecutive days, depending on the length of your cycle and the timing of your LH surge.
Ovulation, the release of the ovum from the follicle, is a woman’s most fertile time of the month – and the egg must be fertilized within 24 hours! This is why predicting ovulation and timing intercourse are so important!
To begin testing with a ClearBlue fertility monitor, urinate directly onto the ClearBlue test stick. Simply push a button and the fertility monitor informs you of your fertility level – Low, High, or Peak. Pretty cool? You bet! Intercourse during high and peak fertility days help you 
to maximize your chances of becoming pregnant. The monitor identifies 6 days (on average) of fertility. Most women will get 1-5 days of “High Level” readings before arriving at their 2 “Peak Level” days of fertility. The monitor stores up to 6 months of your own personal information, allowing you to learn more about your body’s own fertility patterns. This information can even be transferred to your personal computer to make an ovulation calendar or fertility chart.
What make the ClearBlue fertility monitor unique is this: It measure two hormones. Saliva ovulation tests (ovulation microscopes) check for the presence of estrogen. Urine-based lh testing (OPKs) test for lh. The Clear Blue fertility monitor is the only fertility test that focuses on two hormone levels in pinpointing fertility. Best of all, it’s easy to use, with a digital display that tells you your fertility level in words: Low, High, or Peak.
Advantages of Clearblue Fertility Monitors Include:
• Removes much of “user interpretation errors” with the “Low, High, Peak” readings.
• Is accurate because it focuses on two hormones, lh (luteinizing hormone) and estrogen.
• It’s the most advanced home method for maximizing your chances of becoming pregnant.
• Provides easy to understand results that are 99% accurate in detecting your LH surge.
• It’s non-invasive and natural and approved by the FDA.
Limitations Include:
• You have to conform to a fairly tight schedule of testing for the tests to be accurate.
• If you don’t have a computer to download to there is no ability to scroll back and forth to review previous month’s data.
The Clear Blue monitor is not perfect. You should have a computer to download your data, and it is some trouble to maintain the testing schedule (usually once every day). I can tell you that any inconvienience from using the monitor to get pregnant pales in comparison to carrying a child. And by the time you are holding your baby in your arms none of that will matter anyway!
Conclusion:
In short, I believe the ClearBlue Fertility Monitor is the best chance you have for maximizing your chances of getting pregnant. Remember that during ovulation the egg must be fertilized within 24 hours. The ClearBlue Easy Fertility Monitor is the most sophisticated method I have found of predicting when you ovulate and increasing your chances of conceiving a baby. It’s reusable, it’s doctor recommended, it’s reliable and it’s accurate – everything you would want or need from a fertility monitor in predicting your most fertile time of the month. The Clearblue Easy is as close to a magic pregnancy pill as there is and I give it my highest recommendation to couples who want to have a baby.
