Amazon.com Product Description
The Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor helps reduce the time it takes to conceive your baby. Trying to get pregnant should be an exciting time for you and your partner. The Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor provides an advanced monitoring method to maximize your chances of getting pregnant.


The Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor is simple to use, and helps reduce the time it takes to conceive your baby. Detailed view.


Test stick monitors hormones in your urine.


The screen displays three levels of fertility -- low, high, and peak (shown).


Use the "M" button to tell the monitor your monthly cycle has begun.
This Clearblue monitor is very simple to use. The unit is equipped with a test stick that is used to monitor hormone levels present in your urine. Briefly, a test is completed by wetting a stick for three seconds, placing it in the test stick slot, and waiting for results. The monitor can be programmed to follow the days of your monthly cycle to help maximize your chances of getting pregnant. In addition, each test displays a fertility status reading on the screen. Based on the results of your test, your chances for conception are displayed on-screen using three bars that correspond to the three different levels of fertility -- low, high, and peak.

The monitor also comes equipped with a handy "M Button." When you press the M Button you tell the monitor that your period has started and a new monthly cycle has begun. When you press the button you also establish the six hours each day during which you can do a test. This is called the "testing window." The testing window should be set so that it is convenient for you to test the first urine of the day both on weekdays and the weekend. At the start of each new cycle you can either press your M Button at the same time as you did on your previous cycle, or if you wish, you can change your testing window by setting the M Button at a different time. Remember, your testing window must be convenient for you to test the first urine of each day.

Your Changing Fertility
This device more accurately identifies a greater number of fertile days than any other method. During the early days of your menstrual cycle, you have a low hormone concentration, i.e. low fertility. It is during these days that your chances of getting pregnant are significantly lower. At 10-12 days into your cycle, you experience a rise in Estrogen (E3G) that signals high fertility. Your chances of conceiving are increased during these days before ovulation because sperm can survive for up to five days.

During this stage -- the Follicular Phase -- a follicle containing an egg develops in the ovary. A surge of Luteinizing hormone signals peak fertility, and it is here that your chances of conceiving are at their highest. This peak moment of fertility only last a couple days, but the Clearblue helps you pinpoint this optimal moment for conception. It is at this moment that ovulation occurs, and the follicle containing the egg bursts releasing the ovum. Of course, the egg can be fertilized for up to 24 hours, therefore you have a short duration of time within which you can optimize your chances for conception. The fourteen days after ovulation is called the Luteal Phase. During this time, the remains of the follicle forms the "corpus luteum," and, again, your chances of getting pregnant are significantly lower. All of these phases can be monitor with the help of the Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor.

Performing a Test
The Clearblue monitor is easy to use. To perform a test simply switch on the monitor every morning within your testing window and before you go to the bathroom. On the mornings when the monitor requires further information about your hormone levels, a test will be required. Tests must be performed with the first urine of the day. First remove the test stick from its protective foil wrapper and use immediately. Hold the test stick pointing downwards in your urine stream for only three seconds. This is long enough to ensure the sampling end is sufficiently wet. Keep the test stick pointing downwards, take the cap off the handle, and place it over the wet end of the test stick.

You will see a red light flashing in the test stick slot. This is the monitor checking to see if the slot is ready to receive the test stick. You should not place the test stick into the slot until the red light has gone out. Holding the test stick by the cap with cut corner pointing downwards, insert it into the slot. Push the test stick down until it lies flat and clicks in place. Once you've correctly inserted the test stick, the display will flash the test stick symbol for about five minutes while the monitor reads and interprets the information in your urine. At the end of five minutes the monitor will ask you to remove the test stick which should be thrown away. Your fertility status will then be displayed. It's that easy.

5 out of 5 stars The product that gave me back my sanity...   September 1, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

On Mother's Day 2008, I experienced a miscarriage. It goes without saying how devastated my husband and I were. Our doctor told us to wait at least two cycles before trying again. Naturally I didn't want to wait and I convinced my husband to start ttc after one cycle. Here is where my craziness began. The first month of ttc and not getting pregnant was mostly spent feeling sorry for myself and crying when no one was looking. Yet of course my husband would know that I was crying. On top of that I was in denial that I wasn't pregnant and spent a small fortune on hpts. Also, my cycle would vary by three to four days so I had no idea when I ovulated. I called my doctor to help me figure out when I ovulate and she recommended that I get fertility strips. I read that strips don't won't as well as this monitor for people who a) have irregular periods, b) want to be as certain as possible to know when they ovulate.

After a day of reading as many reviews as possible, I went to our local pharmacy and bought the monitor. I also promised myself when reading the reviews that if I got pregnant quickly I would write a review. So here I am after using monitor for two cycles, pregnant! I found out yesterday on my mom's birthday. I am not saying that that monitor is magical, however I gained my sanity back with the monitor because I knew exactly what was going on with my cycle. I was able to relax and enjoy the beauty of ttc. My husband was also able to feel less pressure because I was myself again.

I wish all of you reading this review trying to decide what to do, all the best!



5 out of 5 stars They were right!   September 1, 2008
My husband and I had been trying to conceive on our own for 1 year with no luck. Irregular periods made it extremely difficult to pinpoint ovulation. I am 32 years old and was getting very impatient. But before consulting a fertility specialist I decided I would give this monitor a try. After reading all the reviews on this site I was hopeful, but cautious. Well, it took only 2 months using the monitor and I got my first positive pregnancy test! I am now almost into my second trimester! I just wish I hadn't waited so long to buy this monitor. But it was worth the wait and worth every penny.


5 out of 5 stars I posted July 21 w/1st ever pos-after 16mos ttc--now I am pregnant again!!!   August 21, 2008
I posted July 21 b/c I was thrilled to FINALLY have a pos preg. test after 16 mos of trying and never having a pos test in my life...but I also explained that I miscarried very early. This week I confirmed w/several diff brands of preg tests that I am in fact exactly 4 weeks pregnant again already--only 1 month since miscarriage! I am praying this time I will not m/c...but I wanted to share that Clearblue came through for me again (along w/preseed and mucinex per pharmacist friend advice--maybe that info will help someone). Its not recommended that you use Clearblue monitor like I did right after m/c, but since it was a chemcial pregnancy (meaning ended so early) I set it for the day I started to m/c and it worked great for me, miscarried july 21 and got peaks on Aug6 and Aug 7 on my monitor. Good Luck! Used Clearblue 2X = Positive Preg Test 2 times...I would have saved far more on doctor visits if I had invested in this 16 mos ago!


5 out of 5 stars GREAT....WORTH THE MONEY   August 18, 2008
This product is much better than the sticks. I was actually ovulating 3 days earlier. The great thing about this product is also that it measures your estrogen levels as well. Definately more accurate and takes the guess work out of getting pregnant.


1 out of 5 stars Waste of time and money   August 9, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I really wanted to be an advocate for the Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor. After reading all of the reviews on here, like many mom-to-be hopefuls, I was ecstatic to purchase something that can possibly take all of the guess work out of figuring out my ovulation dates, thus increasing my chances of getting pregnant right away. My hopes had slowly diminished after 4 months of faithfully using the monitor and running into a load of trouble. The first issue I had was with the "peak" reading. Considering that I followed the instructions to the letter, out of the 4 months I used this, I never once received a peak reading. At first I thought it might have been because I was off by a day, or that my urine wasn't concentrated enough. Nonetheless, the highest I ever got on the monitor was a "high" reading with never seeing that blessed egg. To this day, I still can't figure out why I couldn't get the "peak." My second issue with it is that its very difficult to catch your first morning urine. I know I'm not the only woman who sometimes has to pee in the middle of the night. Ruling out that I don't have an overactive bladder, I can't just stumble in the bathroom and take a quick pee. Some nights when I had to do the test, I would have to be fully awake, make sure I had the right position, make sure to have the stick positioned for EXACTLY 7 seconds, and make sure that the monitor was nearby. Furthermore, you had to pee during the window of 6 hours, which I know sounds like a pretty wide window. However, if you have to pee about 2 hours before your window opens, are you supposed to hold it in your sleep, or pee right there and then get a diluted pee later on in the morning (with you window open)? I know I'm not the only who had experienced this! My third issue was with their customer service. After the 3rd month, I had been so frustrated about not getting my peak that I wanted to know if I was doing something wrong. As most couples know, when you're trying to get pregnant, it can't happen fast enough! I called Customer Service to see what they had to say, and I spoke to someone who was completely clueless on how to use the monitor itself!! She kept asking me questions that were unrelated to my problems, and I finally realized that she was reading off of some script that prompted her to ask more questions based on my yes or no answers. I totally felt like I was talking to a computer! To make matters worse, she told me that she was opening up a "case" (whatever that means) and that she would be sending something in the mail to calculate my monitor's data so that I can send that back for them to investigate. I certainly received her materials in the mail within a week, and I again, I followed her directions to the letter, then mailed back my data with a note indicating for someone, anyone, to call me back and let me know their results. Needless to say, I did not receive a call back. After the 4th month of this machine completely disappointing me, I started to wonder if it was me health-wise and if I should see my doc about why I can't pinpoint my ovulation. I decided to not see my doc but to quit using the monitor, and by the 6th month (2 months after tossing the junk), look at that, I'm pregnant. I'm now 7 weeks pregnant and I'm definitely relieved that I know, now, that I'm fertile. I'm only bummed that I paid all that money for something that is completely a waste of time. I would not recommend this product.
