Clearblue Digital Ovulation Predictor Kit, Featuring Ovulation Test with Digital Results, 20 Digital Ovulation Tests

I'm not one of those reviewers who will write that they got pregnant the first or the second month they were using this ovulation kit, but I can verify that this test works. When I first got this kit I also started charting my temperatures just to verify that I ovulated (the ovulation prediction kits can only detect that you are about to ovulate, but they can't confirm that you actually ovulated). It was my first experience using an ovulation kit, and I didn't trust it 100%. The first month I was using this kit, it detected my ovulation on the fifth day of testing. My temperature rose two days later and it remained elevated through the end of that cycle indicating that I ovulated. The second month this test detected ovulation the day before the spike in my temperatures. In other words, the test works, and it is accurate in predicting ovulation, which puts my mind at ease and probably means that I can stop charting my temperatures. This is great news because I really like using this test. I find it to be very convenient and mess-free. It comes with 20 test sticks and one test result reader stick. It is very easy to use, and if you want to carry it with you to work for testing during the day (which you don't have to do because testing in the morning before you leave the house is sufficient), you can. Convenience was very important to me, and I didn't want to stress and fret too much about testing, peeing in the cap, interpreting the results, etc. This test gives me just that. You insert a test stick into the reader, pee on it, and then three minutes later you have the result (smiley face for ovulation, empty circle for no ovulation). If your cycles are relatively regular, this is a great test to use. I used five sticks in the first cycle (you start testing 17 days before your expected period), and four sticks the second cycle, so basically this one box will probably last me close to four cycles which is a good value for the money it costs. When you are done with the test just press the "eject" button, and discard the testing stick. The result will first disappear after about a minute or two from the time it is first displayed, but when you eject the stick the reader will display the result again for a short while which is great if you want to quickly jump in the shower or get interrupted immediately after testing. In summary, using this test can't guarantee that you will get pregnant as soon as you start using it, but it is accurate in predicting ovulation which is obviously one of the most crucial things for getting pregnant and for gathering information about your cycles.

Let me start off by saying I had a tubal pregnancy (unplanned) which lead to complete removal of my right tube in July 2009. We started trying for baby November 2010. It was a little disappointing at first and then proceeded to be very frustrating as Aunt Flo kept rearing her ugly head each month (my cycles are very regular btw). I was going off of ovulation calenders, the small microscope that detects ovulation through saliva, and eventually bought cheap ovulation strips where the line has to be as dark or darker than the control line. Those are all just plain stupid and very inconsistent, IMO. I did have a hysterosalpingogram (HSP January 20th, 2012. It's a procedure where a catheter is inserted into your uterus & ballooned open. Dye is then shot into the catheter to see if the fallopian tubes (or in my case tube) have a clear path to the ovaries. Now, my doctor did said there could've been a small mucus membrane(s) that's blocking the path(s) but when dye is shot into them it can clear the path(s) for fertilization. Anyhow, i was skeptical but purchased this anyways because a friend of mine said she knew a lady that got pregnant with in 2 months on this OPK. My smiley face came a day or two later than what I originally thought my ovulation would be (Day 18/19). I tested at the same time (about noon) the following day (Day 19) since I know ovulation only takes place for approximately 24 hours, another smiley! I wanted to make sure it wasn't a false reading so I tested again later that evening and my smiley was gone, which was a good sign! I took a pregnancy test on the 1st day of my missed period (a Tuesday), negative. I was not feeling any different & expected it to come within the next day or two. I still had not started by Saturday (St. Patty's Day) so I took another pregnancy test that morning and got my POSITIVE!!! I had my first doctor's appointment yesterday and we're due November 19th!! I am still in disbelief but super excited. I am not sure if it was my procedure that helped us or these OPK. I give credit to both actually since I was 2 days off every month & this OPK confirmed with a simple reading. I have a friend who tested too & she got her smiley face yesterday!! I will keep you all posted on her results in a few weeks... TIPS: - don't make these tests any harder than they are, they're simple in fact! - insert the test strip into the reader with arrows facing each other - wait for the blinking in the test window (blinking means it's ok to test & the strip is inserted correctly) - i would recommend peeing in a cup then dipping (if you pee directly onto the stick, you could have too much or not enough urine for the test to read, which will result in an error message) - do not use your 1st pee of the day to test. OPK are not like pregnancy tests. The LH surge is best detected by the 2nd or 3rd pee of the day - make sure you have at least 2-3 hours in between times of urination so it is somewhat potent for the test - best times to test are between 10am - 10pm GOOD LUCK & BABY DUST TO YOU ALL!!!

I thought these were going to be too complicated but they were super easy to use! When it detects your peak time, it displays a super cute smiley face! It comes with 10 and I only needed 4 before to determine my peak window! Definitely would suggest this product if you’re looking to accurately monitor your cycles! 🙂

Easy to use and results are clear - test shows you a smile face if ovulation is detected. I started using it this cycle to help me better track my ovulation in addition to other strips I’ve been using. Great option HSA approved.

Update 7/6/13: Tried this product again and I think that the problem was entirely me. Nothing was catching my ovulation before- it was erratic and odd (PCOS <_<). But I've kept with it and am happy to report that my issue seems to have resolved with a new medicine regiment and that these sticks work great - got our smiley faces and couldn't be more pleased. :) All that to say-- just because they don't work for you once, doesn't mean that they will never work for you. I kept with it out of desperation and wanted to give hope to others out there who might experience the same thing. Though-- Clearblue has a new product that also indicates high days (same essential product, but with high days) and I think I will switch to them if we go another cycle. Old Review: Doesn't appear to work for me, but I'm not sure that it's the tests fault. I've been using these as a backup for the Clearblue monitor that was missing my peak fertility, I suspected because I was ovulating so early (day 10 - the first day the monitor allows you to test is day 8). So I bought these and started testing on day 6. The Clearblue monitor indicated High, then on the 3rd day of High, I got an ultrasound and blood work and learned I had ovulated already. These sticks never changed, just an empty circle throughout for both months I've used them. So neither the monitor or these sticks caught it- but the monitor at least warned me that I was High fertility. Seems like it could be me-- mostly putting this here so people know that it's a possibility that you could ovulate and these won't catch it.

WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!! I bought these thinking they'd be a great asset after using Wondfo LH and hCG test strips, basal body temp charting and a fertility microscope to look for ferning successfully in the past. I used the Clearblue Digital Ovukation tests in conjunction with my "old program" to get a feeling for their results the first month and thank god I did! The first day I used the CB Digital it read "O", a negative result, which was not surprising. Starting the second day, I got a blinking happy face, "high" result...and a faint positive on the Wondfo LH strip. Thinking that this was an important discovery, I sounded the alarm with my husband m, and so began a 20 day nightmare nightmare!!! The Clearblue test proceeded to read the exact same, blinking happy face, high result for 19 STRAIGHT DAYS until I ran out of tests!!!! During the time this went on I also did Wonfo LH tests which varied from increasingly positive/faint, to very dark and clearly positive, and back down to BFN and totally negative again showing a normal month. When I called Clearblue to ask them what they thought I should do given the number of "high" results and no "peak" that I had received they told me to "just keep testing". This was their instruction when I called on day 7 of "high" testing and when I called again on day 14 of "high" testing. When I finish the entire box of 20 test strips with no "peak" results at all and 19 straight days of "high" results, I again called Clearblue and told them what happened. At this point they told me to "contact the person I bought them from and tell them I wanted my money back and tell them that they should give me my money and then send the empty box with a complaint to Clearblue and then Clearblue would review it and then refund the person I bought them from". WTF?!?!?! They expect me to call Amazon.com and inform them that I am returning a completely empty box on the word of what a help desk representative at Clearblue told me and just give me my money back and then they should jump through Clearblue's hoops on faith??????? Thank God I never stopped using the Wondfo tests (or stopped charting and used my fertility microscope) the entire time this went on and never trusted these things. My "old program" kept me on track despite the expensive Clearblue Digital Ovulation test disaster. I'm happy to report that today, on a Wondfo pregnancy pregnancy test strip, I received my first positive result!!! I am getting this result only five days after my last "blinking happy face", "high" Clearblue digital Ovulation test result!!! Which anyone who understands the whole TTC scenario knows is absurd and impossible!!! I will also add that in the past I used Clearblue's pregnancy test with weeks estimator, but ONLY after getting numerous clearly positive results on Wondfo hCG test strips. While the Clearblue pregnancy test with weeks estimator did indicate that I was pregnant...which it should have considering at the time I took it I was approximately nine days pasted a missed period…it miss calculated the number of weeks I was pregnant by approx 10 days to two weeks! The fact that it was wrong was confirmed not only by my knowledge of my own cycle and date of ovulation, but also by my doctor's blood work and ultrasound (which I had every two weeks from six weeks on) which clearly proved the Clearblue test's week estimation to be impossible! IT'S MY OFFICIAL, ALBEIT VERY JUVENILE SOUNDING FEELING, THAT CLEARBLUE SUCKS!!!

Good product. Works as described. 2 possible results - "empty circle" OR "circle with smiley." Simple and easy to use. This brand was recommended to me by the fertility specialist. I am 40 & have had multiple gyne surgeries. This kit does work as stated. This ovulation kit is NOT the same as the Clearblue fertility monitor. Interesting thing that I learned - Ovulation may differ from month to month. The first month I used this product I was on day 14. The second month day 12. I have regular menses. Hints for using it: 1)Some sites say test in afternoon between 2-6 pm. I found this to be true. The first month I starting testing on day 9 at 2-3 pm, all negative. Then on day 12, I was wondering if it actually worked -so I started testing first urine in morning AND 2-3 pm. Then on day 14 - am urine negative, but 2-3 pm was positive. The second month I started testing on day 11 - afternoons only, and then day 12 was positive at 2-3pm. (No need to keep testing once it's positive.) 2) Also try urinating around 4 hrs before your afternoon test. So urinate around 11 am for a 2-3pm test. And don't drink a lot of excess fluids that 4 hrs before the test. 3) Urinate in a cup. I bought the small Dixie/plastic cups and did the dip method for 15 sec. (They fit easily in my purse). I found that much easier and you get the right amount of urine than the urinate on the stick method, especially since you are reusing the handle/stick and just replacing the tip each time. And the tip has to be connected to the handle before exposing to urine to work. I NEVER had any error messages with this method. Good luck. Quick note - I have read other reviews about a "blinking smiley" - that should NOT happen. There are only 2 results and the screen has a blinking symbol in the corner to show its working while waiting for results, but the results come up - "empty circle" OR "circle with smiley." If you are getting something different - it might be defective or an imitation or different product altogether. Send it back and notify amazon if you had a bad seller.

I had been tracking my cycle for a year after a surprise pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage in early 2014 at 3 weeks. My cycle is between 30-31 days. We decided that it was a good time to have another baby. Anyway, bought this kit 2 months after 3 unsuccessful months trying to conceive. My husband and I were basing our chances on the supposed 16-18 day expected ovulation dates. Thanks to this test, I discovered that I ovulated between day 14 to 20 during the 6 months of tracking my ovulation. My testing routine has been bathroom break every 1 and a half to 2 hours and drink about 2 cups of water in between. I got positive results (smiley face) the 4 times I tested in a 48-hour period (early morning, early evening first day; early morning, late night second day). The reason I continued testing after a smiley face was to check whether I was at the beginning of the LH phase or the end of it. Also instead of peeing directly on the test stick and risking getting the tester wet, I use dixie cups to pee in and dip the test tip in for 15 seconds then wait about 3 minutes. The downside is that this kit is fairly expensive imo and the digital reader will not last over 2 cycles of use, so buying extra strips like I did ended up costing more because I had to get a replacement reader since the original broke after monitoring 2 cycles. In early 2016 after 2 years of unsuccessfully trying to conceive, my husband has his sperm analysis and it came back with terrible results: 0% normal sperm and 100% with defects and other numbers we didn't understand. The two urologists he saw were unhelpful in figuring out the source and simply said it must be due to a varicocele and that the only treatment was IVF through a fertility clinic, which is around $8,000-$12,000 for one cycle. The whole experience left us feeling like they just wanted us to shell out a ton of money to make these doctors wealthier without trying alternative options, so we declined. We did some more research. My husband likes to ride bikes on trails and some online sites suggested that tight clothing, pressure, or even the heat from a laptop on your lap can damage sperm. Right around spring of 2016, he started taking vitamins(B-12 complex, macca root, zinc, folic acid, fish oil, ginkgo biloba, and others). I stopped tracking my ovulation and spending hundreds of dollars on pregnancy tests for obvious reasons. Forward to November 2016, I started tracking my ovulation again. I'm 33 years old and want to know if everything is okay on my end; I had our son at age 21 so we were both in prime health then. On Christmas morning last month, I took a pregnancy test after a late period and breast tenderness. We couldn't believe it but I am pregnant and we think the vitamins may have had a lot to do with it, after we had given up. This ovulation kit did an excellent job at accurately tracking my ovulation. If all goes well, our baby is expected to be born in late August 2017.

ABOUT EQUIPMENT The Equipment, is simple to use and the instructions are very clear and easy to understand. Make sure you hear the click and you can see the symbol on the screen implying “ready to use” as illustrated on the leaflet before use. MY EXPERIENCE My cycle is approximately 31 days. General rule of thumb is that regardless of the length of your cycle, ovulation occurs 14days prior to the day of your period.For my case, ovulation happens around 17th day of my cycle. The app I was using gave me two days earlier. Any way my last cycle was on 20th November, the app gave me 4th Dec which was 15th day of my cycle.I started testing from 30th November 11th day of my cycle to be save. I tested twice everyday , morning and at night.On 17th day of my cycle, no smiley in the morning but I got a smiley 😊 on the same day at night at 20:30pm only once. No smiley the next day although some people got it twice or for two days ADVICE First things first, track your cycle and subtract 14 days.( NOTE). Below only apply to normal cycle of 35 days cycle. 28day cycle- ovulation happens in 14th day of cycle 29days- 15 30 days- 16 31days - 17 When you know the day of the cycle you are likely to ovulate, test couple days in advance and I highly recommend testing twice per day. Testing close to your day of ovulation means you have plenty of test kits to use so why not use two per day. The ovulation window is between 12- 36, 48 hours hence it’s possible to miss it if you test once per day and that’s why I only captured once. I will update the pregnancy results when I get reports. I hope that helps.

Results accurate. Got result in first time use...

I prefer these to the advanced digital because they just give you the actual fertile peak days which usually coincide with ewcm so no need for the build up and waiting for static smilies. Easy to use and doesn't take too long.

This is quite useful as I thought I ovulated 2 days later when in fact it was 2 days earlier than I thought. Its easy to use as there are no guessing games of how thick or dark the line is. My husband was quite happy because I don't have to worry him figure it out. Its either No Smiley or Smiley! Been trying for a year. So now we wait and see

Reliable and easy to use
