Clearblue Advanced Digital Ovulation Test, Home LH Ovulation Test Kit, 20 Ct

I bought this test only after doing much research online and looking at reviews here and on other sites. The negative reviews really almost swayed me into not trying this product; but, I researched more and then closely looked at exactly what the negative reviews were complaining about. So, I bought it, used it, loved it, waiting to see if this month is my BFP. Here's a rundown of this ovulation kit and here's hoping that I can answer some of the questions and concerns that others might have that are considering this product. This information is also available on the website, and in the instructions. This kit is designed to test over a number of days. In this way, it will catch the rise in estrogen levels that precede the LH surge (ovulation). A blank circle is low fertility. A flashing smiley face is high fertility. This means that the meter is showing a rise in estrogen levels in your urine. Most women will have 2 days of flashing smiley faces before the peak fertility is reached. Peak fertility is a smiley face. Once peak is reached, the meter shows the result for 48 hours, which is a reminder to you that your best chance to conceive is the next 48 hours. Now, a lot of confusion seems to center around the flashing smiley. Generally, most women will see this for 2 days before peak fertility. That's a general statement. Each of us is different and unique and your result may be different. If you get a flashing smiley face for more that 9 days, then there are a couple of things to consider. One: did you start testing too early? If you test too early, estrogen is the leader of the pack for the time around your period and testing too early will pick up that higher estrogen level. There is a clear chart of when to test. It will also line up with any ovulation/fertility app or fertility prediction chart. Testing too early won't give you a headstart, it'll give you a headache. If you find that you are testing during that time frame and NOT seeing LH surges, then you would want to talk to your doctor. Two: we don't always ovulate every cycle! I know that's the last thing we want to hear when we are peeing on a stick, taking temps, performing midnight fertility dances under the full moon and so on; but, it's true. Third: sometimes the LH surge is so small that the meter can't pick it up. Sometimes the meter will go from LOW to PEAK from one day to the next. This typically means that you started testing too late for the meter to catch the high fertility days and it only caught the LH surge. Next cycle, start at the recommended cycle day to begin testing and this should give you the low-high-peak progression that you are looking for. Once that static smiley face is reached, your LH surge has been detected and you are at your highest chance of conception. The meter will show that smiley face for 48 hours as a reminder to you that you are at peak fertility. Once the smiley face goes away, the fertile window has closed. You CAN'T test with the meter after peak fertility is detected. Well, you can think that you are. You can throw a test strip in there, not look to see the symbol that says "ready to test" and proceed to test tap water, dr pepper, sam adams, kool aid or whatever you feel like testing and the meter will still show peak fertility because it ISN'T ACTUALLY TESTING. If you want to test again after peak fertility has gone (that means the display is blank and you get the new cycle symbol and the ready to test symbol when you insert the stick) then, and only then, can you test again. I don't know why you would need to test again, but if you absolutely feel the need to, you could. But, chances are, your ovulation is long past. I saw a couple of posts where this test kit was compared to wondfo or other test strips. Those test strips can be pretty tricky to read. Just because you have two lines there, that doesn't mean you have an LH surge. For those types of tests, the test line must be as dark as or darker than the control line. If you prefer to use a lot of sticks, those would be your best economical strips to use. I would recommend that you place them in a notebook or on a notepad with the cycle day and time of test, glued in place, and watch the progression. That will show you how best to look for the dark line that tells you that your LH surge is on its way. But, those strips can make you want to tear out your hair if you don't do that, because it's really hard to catch the pattern if you don't save the strips. I used those for several months. They are messy and difficult to read. The clearblue test is easy and mess-free. I also hear (read) a lot of complaints about the price, and this one confuses me. Yes, it's about $40, but it should last 1-2 cycles (it might make me 3) and this cost is far less than the cost of an infant when you figure in medical costs, clothing, diapers, etc. It's a good test. It really works. I got 2 days of low, 2 days of high and then peak. I highly recommend it. But, read ALL the instructions and begin testing on the day that they recommend, or you might find yourself frustrated and confused. It is different that most of the other OPK out there, and I wonder if that causes a lot of the confusion.

The Clearblue Digital Pregnancy Test is absolutely the best pregnancy test I've ever used! After experiencing the stress and confusion of trying to read traditional line tests, this digital test was a complete game-changer. The clear digital display completely eliminates any guesswork or ambiguity, which is incredibly important during such an emotional time. The accuracy of this test is outstanding. I used it on the day of my expected period, and it gave me a clear "Pregnant" result within just a few minutes. There was no squinting at faint lines, no asking multiple people for their opinion on whether they could see a line, no taking photos in different lighting to analyze later. The word "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant" appears right on the screen in plain English. This clarity provided me with immediate peace of mind and confidence in the result. The ease of use is exceptional. The test stick is well-designed and comfortable to hold. The instructions are straightforward and easy to follow. You simply remove the cap, hold the absorbent tip in your urine stream for 5 seconds (or dip it in a urine sample), replace the cap, and wait for the result. The waiting period is only about 3 minutes, which feels much shorter than other tests I've used. A symbol appears on the screen to let you know the test is working, which is reassuring. What I appreciate most about the Clearblue Digital test is how it eliminates the emotional stress of interpretation. Traditional line tests can be so confusing - is that a faint line or an evaporation line? Am I seeing things? With this digital test, there's no room for doubt or misinterpretation. The result is crystal clear, displayed in words that anyone can understand. This is especially important for women who are anxiously trying to conceive or who are concerned about an unexpected pregnancy. The fact that this package comes with two tests is perfect. It's common to want to take a second test to confirm the results, especially if you get a positive result. Having two tests in one package means you don't have to make another trip to the store when you're already emotional and possibly dealing with morning sickness. I've recommended Clearblue Digital to all my friends who are trying to conceive. The extra cost compared to traditional line tests is absolutely worth it for the accuracy, clarity, and peace of mind it provides. This test is reliable, easy to use, and eliminates all the guesswork. If you want a pregnancy test that gives you a straightforward answer without any confusion, Clearblue Digital is the way to go!

It is very important to read the directions!!! I have used one box for two cycles now with no issues, so I feel that I’ve gotten my money’s worth. I have an irregular period, so I have to begin my testing early. Both cycles that I have used this kit, I’ve been able catch the start of and the peak of my fertile window! AND I still have 4 tests left. The test stick continues to work just fine if you allow it the 48h to reset after you receive a peak fertility result. I’ve always struggled to interpret results of non-digital ovulation test sticks, so I love the convenience of this digital test! I had one incident where a test stick didn’t register in the stick reader, but other than that, it’s been a seamless usage. About to order my 2nd box!

As described, new and effective

I bought a new set of this kit since I ran out of the sticks midway. It was blinking lights on the old device before I tested with the new one on the same day, which weirdly shows the empty circle. I tested again today (2 days after my first comparison) with the previous device AND the new device from the newly bought kit, both with the new sticks that comes on my new kit + using same cup of urine for both. It returns to a different result. The previous device was bought from Boots UK while the new one are from Amazon US, so I don’t know if they have different device quality. Considering this set is very expensive I’m really disappointed how it can give me different result. It’s very confusing and sad for me who’s trying to conceive after a devastating ectopic pregnancy loss.

Accurate

Use el otro y funcionó súper bien , este alcancé a usarlo 2 veces y se quedó congelado con el último resultado y ya dejó de funcionar …

Great tests. I was surprised at how early I got my + on these.
