Trying to get pregnant should be a happy and exciting time for you and your partner; you shouldn’t have to worry about getting pregnant. The Clearblue Fertility Monitor helps cut down on the time that it takes to conceive.
The neat thing about the Clearblue monitor is that is maximizes your chances of getting pregnant by alerting you when are most likely able to conceive.
The way it works is you buy test sticks separately to the monitor and use one per test whenever the monitor tells you to test. A test stick is placed in your urine stream and then placed into the Clearblue Monitor for testing. A really good feature of the Clear Blue Monitor is you can program it to track the days of your monthly cycle.
So you have the greatest chance of conceiving; A low, high, and peak fertility status bars are shown in the monitor’s display.
The “M’ Button on the Monitor:
The Clearblue’s unique ‘M Button’ is activated at the start of your monthly cycle. It sets the beginning of a 6-hour time period for testing. You should press the button at the start of your cycle but only when it’s convenient to test; the first urine of the day. In order to test different times in your cycle, you’re free to change the day and/or time you press the button on your next cycle.
The Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor accurately identifies more fertile days in your cycle than any other device. The most fertile time in your cycle is approximately 10-12 days after the start. It’s at this time that your Estrogen levels (E3G) are higher and your chances of conceiving are thus higher. Because sperm can survive up to 5 days, your chances of conceiving are better during these pre-ovulation days.
Technical Reasons Behind the Clear Blue Fertility Monitor’s Effectiveness:
During these “pre-ovulation” days – called the Follicular Phase – a follicle that contains an egg starts developing inside an ovary. At this point a rise in Luteinizing hormone signals peak fertility. This lasts for only a couple days and is the time frame that your chances of conceiving are the highest. But the Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor helps you pinpoint this time with relative ease. Ovulation occurs at this point – when the follicle containing the egg bursts and releases the ovum. There is only about 24 hours from this point forward that the egg can be fertilized, so this is the point that your monitor will help you pinpoint.
The Luteal Phase is the– days after ovulation, and a time period when you are far less likely to conceive. (The remains of the follicle form what’s called the “corpus luteum.”)
How To Do A Test -
Before your first urine of the day (normally when you get up each morning), switch on your Clear Blue Fertility Monitor. Certain mornings the monitor will ‘tell’ you you need to do a hormone level test. After removing a test stick from the wrapper, you wet it in your urine stream (pointing the stick downwards) for about three seconds. Now after removing the cap from the handle of the stick, you place it over the end you just wetted..
At this point you should see a red flashing light in the test stick slot, which is the monitor performing an internal check to determine if the slot is ready to receive your test stick. Do not place the test stick into the slot at this time – wait until the red light has gone out. Simply hold the test stick by the cap and place the other end into the the slot, cut corner pointing down. Push it down until it clicks into place, lying flat. If you’ve inserted it correctly, the display will flash a small image of the test stick symbol for about five minutes as it performs the check of the urine.
You will be prompted to remove the stick and discard it after around five minutes. This will be indicated on the monitor’s display. The monitor fertility status symbol will show the level of fertility in one of three simple bars – low, high, or peak.
