Clearblue Fertility Monitor, 1 Touch-Screen Monitor, 1 Ct

Love this concept! I tried the basic ovulation strips without the reader and I just kept couldn’t figure out what day I was on. Too bad when I ordered this I was already pregnant (just didn’t know)! Hopefully will be used again in the future

Probably TMI but important info that may give others some hope! I’ve been off birth control for over 10 years, using the pull-out method (and sometimes..not lol) with my partner. We were both convinced we may have fertility issues and were prepared to see a doctor. However, we decided to actively start trying for a baby in January. Ordered this in February, boom, I’m 7 weeks tomorrow. Score one for technology!

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.

To be honest I hate this monitor, its cool they updated the look but i hate how restricting it is, i can only do what they say when they say. I cant change the time for day light savings so its an hour off and it says i have to start a new cycle to change it... LAME. The test window is stupid too... when i get up and want to test let me freaking do it... but no it says i have to wait until my "test" window... i hate that. To alter anything you have to start a new cycle... there should be a way to change dates, like for me i forgot to enter the first day of my period so it will only allow me to count the 2nd day as my "1st" day in the monitor so already numbers wont be correct... the next thing that i hate is how hard it is to open the battery compartment up. I finally just pried it off and leave it off since the batteries are in there snug and i don't have it around anything liquid. The analysis part takes forever and to be honest i highly doubt its doing anything other than reading if there is 1 or two lines and how dark they are which you could do that yourself just by looking and skip the monitor all together. It may seem cool it keeps the data in the system but the fact you cant change anything really sucks. not all of us have regular periods or perfect cycles or heck were human we mess up or start it the wrong day. I feel like for the price and what it does it leaves a lot to be desired. There are lots of apps you could use for free on your phone for tracking and I don't feel this is worth the price or the effort. I think the regular OPK sticks would work just as well (unless you have pcos and cant get a good reading with them) but they really should make it more user friendly and add in more options... They also should add the option to have a chargeable battery in it and just plug it in to charge it. I wish i had saved my money but its to late now Im going to use the box of sticks i bought and see if it at least helps me get pregnant...UPDATE: 05/01/2017so today i go to take a test but when it was time to insert it i turned it on and just before i entered the stick in it went black and it self restarted and was asking me to create a new cycle... I almost cried TTC is already hard but now several months of data is just gone and i cant even use the stick I mean i can see the lines and it should be a peak day but its not just the test here its also that the device is supposed to record cycle data so it gets your averages and so on... and now that's lost I wont miss the day we will still know when we should BD but it really sucks I paid over $100 for this thing plus like $80 bucks at least on sticks for it and now the info is just gone... so now i either can start over or use nothing... This just makes me so freaking mad and heartbroken I really wanted this to work but so far it really hasnt. Its great for those with a properly working device but if you get a messed up one or god forbid it doesn't mess up until right after its to late to return then you could potentially be out a few hundred bucks and have nothing to show for it. They really should make an sd slot to store info and also have a manual mode where you can go in and manually enter past cycle data just in case your info is lost... I have bought all kinds of random TTC things and sadly this one (that I wanted the most and couldnt wait to get) has been the worst and it really RELLY upsets me now my cycle data is just gone. Anyone out there with irregular cycles or other issues knows just how precious this info can be and after several months watching the divice start to predict info was cool but now im back to square one and today should be day 1 of my 2 peak days so i cant even do anything until i start a new period... I would much rather pay twice as much for a device that has a lot more options and the ability to save, export and manually enter data. as well as let you decide when to start a cycle (i realize they believe this will help accuracy but starting in the middle or a few days in if you enter period data should be fine and it allows the user to use the divice right away... the point is collective data anyway) this is by far the most frustrating divice i have used i think honestly im going to call them and see what they tell me and if i can possibly get a fixed device i may try again but if not im going to toss it and cry beecause while $104 may not be a huge amount its also not something most of us can afford to just toss out so losing that and the money i put in to sticks kind of makes me hurt, sad, frustrated, disheartened, MAD AF and the list goes on... I really hope they will work on creating a better device with more options in the future... that also functions correctly :'(

Never had an issue. The purple side comes off to cover the sample side, took me a min to figure that out

3 of us have gotten pregnant using this entire kit after months of trying

Product works exactly as advertised. Just wish we could buy it in bulk

Package is as expected.
