Clearblue Fertility Monitor Advanced, Test For Ovulation & Pregnancy, Increases Chances Of Getting Pregnant Naturally By 89%, 1 Touch Screen Monitor (Test Sticks Sold Separately), Packaging May Vary

I found this monitor very easy to use (not sure why some people want more high tech displays/features when it does everything it needs). Although it may be expensive for some budgets, it's the best £100 (monitor) +£40 (test stick pack) I have spent. I found that prior to using this, tracking ovulation / pregnancy testing (regardless of what I chose to do) can add up quickly i expense. I feel so blessed that I am now pregnant after the first cycle of using the monitor. Of course conceiving depends on so many factors beyond the monitor, but just for context if it helps you: I'm in my late 20's, no health issues and was ttc for three months off the pill (I hadn't established yet the regularity of my periods). This monitor helped me to know exactly when our best 'peak' chances were and showed me that I was ovulating later than I thought. I never usually write reviews but I read through loads for this product after it being recommended to me and hope this can help you. Best wishes to all ttc x

This monitor works very well. It's interesting to have an insight into my cycle and know when I might be ovulating. It helped me get pregnant at the first go! I found it easy to use and definitely worth the money.

I am really annoyed with myself for falling for this marketing ploy. This product is a great idea in theory if only it had a bit more functionality and flexibility, but in reality it is actually very basic and very rigid which makes it much less useful than advertised, and given how much it costs this is very disappointing. I am more than happy to spend money on quality products that actually work, but this one is nothing more than a way to get women to think they are doing “more” by buying a more expensive product that seems to have more bells and whistles, but they don’t actually add much value. Before buying this monitor I used the regular clearblue digital fertility tests (purple sticks) which detect exactly the same two hormones (estrogen and LH) without being as rigid as this monitor. Here are a few points to consider before buying:* You can only test once a day: the monitor only lets you test once a day within a set and unchangeable 6-hour window. This actually is a very serious limitation if you are trying to conceive, considering some women have only a short LH peak and therefore need to test multiple times a day during the fertile window to catch it. For example last month with the digital kit I tested twice a day and only caught my surge in the evening. By contrast this month with the monitor I can only test once a day during the testing window in the morning (I set it in the morning because the instructions advised used first morning pee). As I result I have now had 13 days of “high” readings in the cycle so far, and the monitor keeps asking me to test every morning. Meanwhile for the past week I have been using other ovulation tests in parallel to triangulate the result, and testing twice a day, and got a clear “peak” on the clearblue digital and a third cheap LH test from the pharmacy while the monitor still showed “high” the next morning. Clearly my peak was short and the monitor missed it. What a joke - had me panicking and anxious for no reason.* It is very rigid: aside from only allowing you to test once a day, it also only allows you to set up a new cycle within the first 4 days or you have to wait until the next period which is so stupid. You can only test for pregnancy starting 3 days before your period which doesn’t account for the psychology of anxious women in the 2 week wait who might want to start testing sooner.* The bells and whistles are so basic: aside from tracking ovulation the monitor allows you to log intercourse and test for pregnancy, but nothing else. Compared to the far superior functionalities of phone apps like Flo and Glow, which allow you to log a wide range of symptoms including temperature, cervical mucus and lots of other things, this monitor is exceptionally basic and definitely not useful enough to justify the cost! At this price I would expect it to be capable of all the functionalities of an app, but currently I still have to log everything on an app so really the monitor is pointless. Add to that, that it looks like an outdated gadget from the 90s and the touch screen is low res.. I’m really really not impressed.* Test sticks are expensive: not only is the monitor itself expensive, but you also have to buy the test sticks separately and they are not cheap, especially when this stupid monitor is asking me to use all 20 sticks in the box this month because it keeps detecting “high”.* Only stores 6 months of data: I really hope it doesn’t take me longer to conceive but in the unlucky event it does, this stupid monitor can only store six months of cycles which is just stupid. Many apps can store much much more than that and allow you to compare your cycles over time which can be really useful.In conclusion this product is nothing but a way to get anxious women to spend a lot more money on something that doesn’t actually offer much additional functionality. You’re much better off using other products in the range, such as the advanced digital test (purple stick) which tests for exactly the same two hormones without the farce of added functionality. You can achieve the same result (in fact, better) with more “basic” ovulation tests and a phone app. If I could give the product zero stars for being a borderline scam, I would._______UPDATE: I am now pregnant after the same cycle when this stupid device made me panic that I was not ovulating because it never showed me a peak. Completely useless device.

Best product I have ever bought. Also worked for me on the first month. Other products I used told me my ovulation was 5 days later, so I was completely out each month.Delighted 😀❤️

So I bought this monitor a few months ago. I've been trying to get pregnant for about 9 months and wanted anything that could help. I read the positive and negative reviews on the monitor before I bought it, and even with the price (I got it for £80 which included a packet of the test sticks)I have to say I love it, I know people have complained that you have to wait for your period to start, but considering this monitor is supposed to help you monitor your entire cycle I'm surprised people complained as surely you want it to accurately monitor all your cycle not just a couple of days?I was concerned that due to me being a bit stupid when I was a teenager I might have issues with being able to conceive, which is another reason I bought this - in case I need to go to the doctors for advice I have all my cycle information for the past six months stored straight away and easily visible (should help speed the doctors up having the info already)Mine has worked perfectly, shown me my high days, and my two peak days. It helps remind me to do the tests, when it starts flashing when I've hit my testing window.One comment I would make to the negative comments moaning about why it says 'high' for about a week - sperm can last up to a week in your body, so there's a higher chance if you have sex within the week before you ovulate to conceive so it's understandable the readings you get.Also it states in the instruction manual that if you get strange readings or no readings you should visit your doctor - and that this monitor may not work for everyone's cycle (which is understandable) but this is the same for everything so please be aware of this when you purchase it.I'm not pregnant yet, but this monitor is nothing but helpful. Keeps all the information I need in the future, and is more than easy to use. I'm more than happy to have the help to conceive :)
