Clio blue ovulation test. How the Clearblue Digital Ovulation Test works

I’ll say right away that I’m a dough addict))) Although I got pregnant pretty quickly, I bought packs (for ovulation and pregnancy) in batches, so that later I could test them in action - to “catch” ovulation or find out if pregnancy occurred. True, my body gave signs about this even without tests, but this was my entertainment - to wet the tests)))

Once, in a pharmacy, I saw a ClearBlue digital ovulation test and, of course, became interested. The price "bite" - 600 rubles for 7 tests in a package, but I bought it anyway, it's curious what a modern miracle of technology is.

The test was made in China, but the manufacturer is Swiss, the packer is Polish, and the manufacturer's representative is Procter & Gamble - Russia, in general, the geography is wide, which is probably why the price is so high.

Test modules (7 pieces), digital block, packed in a cardboard box, which depicts a chubby smiling baby, detailed instructions attached in Russian.

The manufacturer claims that the accuracy of the test approaches 100%

Over 99% accuracy in definition 2 better days for conception*, with an unmistakable digital result.

The Clearblue Digital Ovulation Test is more accurate than calendar and temperature methods* and delivers unmistakably clear results on the digital screen.

The test can be used at any time of the day at one time, but it is not recommended to drink a lot of liquid before testing.

The day of testing depends on the length of your cycle, for example, with a standard 28 day cycle, testing should begin on day 11 menstrual cycle, there is a table in the instructions where you can see which day to use the test. I started testing on the 15th day of the cycle.

Application of the test:

– Remove the test module from the foil package.

– Remove the cap.

– Before contact with urine, the test module must be inserted into the housing.

– Align the pink arrow of the test module with the pink arrow on the test body and insert until it clicks into place.

– Wait for the "test ready" symbol to appear and perform an ovulation test immediately.

Place the absorbent sampler pointing downwards under the urine stream for 5–7 seconds.

– Alternatively, collect a urine sample in a clean, dry container. Place the absorbent sampler in the collected urine sample for 15 seconds.

– Be careful not to wet the case.

– Hold the sampler pointing downwards or place the test module on a horizontal surface. During testing, never hold the test with the absorbent strip pointing upwards.

– After 20-40 seconds, the “Test Ready” symbol will flash to indicate that the ovulation test is working.

– Do not remove the test module until you have received a result.

– Remove the cap from the test module and wait 3 minutes.

We wait 3 minutes and read the result:

* an empty circle on the display means that ovulation is not yet expected, there has not yet been a surge of the LH hormone, which rises 12-48 hours before ovulation. It is recommended to repeat the test the next day with a new test module.

* a smiling emoticon on the body screen indicates that an LH surge has occurred and you have 48 hours ahead of you, favorable for conceiving a child.

The test result is interpreted only on the display, it is not readable by test modules, i.e. no need to compare the strips for brightness. Within 8 minutes, either an empty circle or a smiley will be displayed on the case screen.

Everything is not difficult in practice, although the instructions for the test are extensive, but disappointment awaited me, the case of my test was apparently defective and the test gave an error every time I used it (I exhausted 4 test modules).

The instruction contains detailed information on questions about the test, including errors. Unfortunately, I did not see an empty circle or a smiley face during the test, although I strictly followed the instructions.

The test gave an error. In the end, I still read the result from the strips on the test module, contrary to the manufacturer's statements that you only need to read on the display. By the 4th test, the strips were equal, they became the same brightness, which means that ovulation is about to come. Another simple ovulation test, much cheaper (Chinese, ordered from Tao Bao) confirmed this to me, and a few hours later I myself felt the approach of ovulation.

Stripes of the same brightness, ovulation soon. That's how I "thrown" 600 rubles down the drain for a defective digital miracle of technology. But despite the defective test in the same cycle, I got pregnant)))

I put the test 3, maybe marriage is not common, but I can’t give a higher rating and I won’t recommend this test for use, in any case, for such a high cost.

Text: based on press release

Did you know that every second couple tries to conceive at the wrong time? And all because not all women know the days of their ovulation.

To identify the days favorable for conception, an ovulation test will help.

What is ovulation?

Ovulation is a process that occurs once per menstrual cycle, when, due to changes in hormone levels, an egg is released from the ovary. This usually happens 12-16 days before the start next menstruation. Closer to ovulation, the body produces increased amount the hormone estrogen, which promotes the growth of the endometrium in the uterus and allows you to create a favorable environment for sperm. High level estrogen provokes a sharp increase in another hormone - LH (luteinizing hormone). The so-called LH surge promotes the release of an egg from the ovary, and ovulation occurs. Fertilization of the egg can occur within 24 hours of ovulation. If fertilization does not occur, the overgrown endometrium begins to flake off the walls of the uterus, and you begin your period. From this moment on, a new cycle begins.

What is an ovulation test for?

When planning a pregnancy, it is important to remember that the number of days in each cycle when a woman is fertile is limited. The most favorable are only two days on which ovulation occurs, and for each woman and for each cycle these days are different. An ovulation test will help identify them.

Most ways to determine the most auspicious time time to conceive or are ineffective (for example, the method of measuring basal body temperature ineffective due to the fact that the temperature rises only after ovulation), or require medical intervention(for example, a blood test or an ultrasound scan). The Clearblue Digital Ovulation Test guarantees unsurpassed accuracy (over 99%) and confidence at every step of the test - all at home.

If you want to know when you're fertile, you need to know your body and your menstrual cycle. To calculate your cycle length, you need to count the number of days from the first day of your period to the day before your next period starts. Cycle times may vary different women, but, as a rule, it is from 23 to 35 days. The most favorable days are approximately in the middle of the cycle, but the Clearblue digital ovulation test will help to accurately determine them.

How does the Clearblue Digital Ovulation Test work?

Clearblue based digital ovulation test simple analysis urine determines the increase in the level of the hormone LH, which occurs 24-36 hours before ovulation, which allows you to determine the 2 most favorable days for conception in this cycle. Making love on these 2 days will give you a better chance of getting pregnant.

The Clearblue Digital Ovulation Test is very easy to use, more than 99% accurate and the result is completely clear.

The Clearblue Digital Ovulation Test package contains 7 inkjet tests and a special holder with a display. To determine the result, before using the test strip, you need to insert it into the test holder, and then place it under the stream of urine for a few seconds - everything is very simple. After 3 minutes, the LCD will show a 100% clear result. If the smiley icon appears on the display, it means that the LH surge in the urine has reached its maximum concentration, and the chances of conceiving a child in the next 2 days are highest. If an empty circle appears on the display, ovulation has not occurred. Everything is clear, and you do not have to look closely at the color of the stripes and nervously compare their number with the instructions, as in other tests. In addition, unlike traditional tests, where the result is stored for only a few minutes, the digital display shows it for 24 hours.

The test must be used daily at the same time for several days when ovulation is expected.

• If the life of the egg is 24 hours, then the sperm remain active for up to five days. Therefore, a couple can conceive a child by having sex a few days before ovulation.
• Many women believe that ovulation occurs on the 14th day, but this is not always true. The day of ovulation depends on the length of the cycle.
• Some women experience pain during ovulation, but most do not experience any sensations at this time, and there are no other signs of ovulation.

Reusable ovulation tests are designed to determine the most suitable days for conception. The ideal period for their use is 10-20 days of the menstrual cycle, when the egg leaves the follicle. It is during these days that fertilization occurs.

Repeated use tests are especially relevant for problems with conception, when you need to do them every month. The test is a small device that comes with several strips. Some manufacturers additionally include pregnancy tests in it, which is very convenient.

The strips are changed every time when it is necessary to determine ovulation, while the device itself remains operational for a long time. Test results are displayed on a small screen.

Types of reusable ovulation tests

Reusable devices for determining the days of ovulation have been widely used since 2012. Some of them work with saliva, others with urine. In both cases, the reliability of the information obtained is higher than when testing with disposable strips.

Reusable tests include:

• tablet;
• electronic;
• microscope tests.

"Tablets" or "cassettes"

This is a small rectangular container made of plastic, which has two inspection windows. The first is for collecting the test liquid, the second is for displaying the results on the screen. This takes no more than 2-5 minutes, while the data in 90-95% of cases are more accurate than with conventional strips.

For correct use a reusable ovulation test, it is substituted with the right side under the stream of urine for 5-10 seconds. After 3-4 minutes, the results will be displayed in the result window. This method is reliable, but requires a lot of money.

This method of determining the days of ovulation is recommended for women with irregular menstrual cycles.

The principle of operation of test cassettes, of which there are 7 pieces in a set, is to identify high content in the body of the hormone LH. If its release has already occurred, then the chances of getting pregnant in the next two days are high. The sensitivity of such devices is from 30 mIU / ml.

Electronic tests

They differ from the usual ones in that both saliva and urine are suitable for working with them. They contain chlorides, to which the strips are sensitive.

The device consists of a control module and sticks that are inserted into it. With their help, you can conduct tests on any day of the menstrual cycle. The device itself evaluates the received data and displays the “response” (degree of fertility). To work with it, you need very little biological fluid. The reliability of the results is 95–98%.

Data interpretation: if the “answer” is negative, an empty circle will appear in the window, if the “answer” is positive, “smile”. You can use the test at any time of the day. Before the test, do not drink a lot of water and empty bladder within 4 hours.

Electronic devices are very light, making them easy to carry in your pocket or purse. approximate cost one set of reusable electronic ovulation test - 700-1000 rubles, shelf life - up to 2-3 years. If you follow the instructions, the probability of getting wrong results is practically eliminated.

Among the electronic tests, the most effective is Clearblue, which shows the 2 most successful (fertile) days for conception. It is more accurate than the temperature and calendar methods, its reliability is more than 99%.

To obtain results, a strip from the kit is inserted into the case, after which the signal "Ready for testing" appears on the display. The absorbent end down is placed under the stream of urine for 5-10 seconds, which should not fall on the holder. If this is inconvenient, you can place the sampler in a container with collected urine and hold it in vertical position 15 seconds. The display will then flash and after 3 minutes the result will be visible.

The received data can only be seen for 8 minutes after the test, after which the new module must be used.

Microscope Tests

It takes 10 to 20 minutes to identify ovulation days using such devices, which is much longer than with other methods. For this purpose, a drop of saliva is applied to a reusable glass slide, which must dry completely.

After that, the analysis of the remaining traces (patterns similar to fern leaves) is performed. If saturated colors are visible in them, the egg will soon leave the follicle.

The task of the ovulation microscope is to detect a surge of progesterone and estrogen, which are responsible for the success of conception. A high concentration of these hormones provokes the accumulation of potassium and sodium in the body, which affects the density and composition of saliva. All this leads to its crystallization. Thanks to this, it is possible to choose a day suitable for fertilization a few days before its onset.

The shelf life of such an "assistant" is from 3 to 4 years. This device is ideal not only for its ability to show suitable days for conception. It also easily identifies safe numbers that are almost impossible to get pregnant. It is also important that the optics of the device is easy to clean.

To obtain accurate results, it is necessary to conduct from 10 to 20 samples throughout the entire menstrual cycle. The best time to do this is in the afternoon and evening time. The test strip can only be used once; there are usually 7–15 pcs in a set. The average cost of such a device is 1000-1500 rubles.

Benefits of Reusable Ovulation Tests

Instructions for use are attached to each ovulation test. Strictly following it, you can be sure of the accuracy of the results. Also, many manufacturers post videos with step by step algorithm actions.

Advantages of multiple tests:

1. Quick result (from 2 to 15 minutes), most of the time is spent waiting for the “response” of the device. In order to prepare biological fluid and load it into a special window, it takes no more than 3 minutes.
2. Saving money through long term services. If a we are talking about the electronic ovulation test, it can be used up to 4 years, other types last up to 2 years.
3. The procedure is painless - only urine or saliva is needed for its implementation, and not blood.
4. Easy to use.
5. Small weight of the device. This allows you to carry it with you and use it if necessary outside the home. The lightest are electronic tests, which weigh up to 100 grams, followed by “microscopes” (their weight, together with a case and glass slides, is about 150 grams) and other models.
6. High accuracy. The probability of obtaining false information is 1-5%. The lowest percentage is for digital tests, which are considered the most accurate. They are followed by flatbed views and microscopes.
7. Multifunctionality. With their help, you can both plan a pregnancy and avoid it. Tests allow you to monitor the level of hormones in the blood to detect ovarian dysfunction in the early stages.

The most efficient of all test systems reusable is digital. It eliminates the possibility of error due to human factor independently interpreting the results. This is a worthy replacement for conventional test strips, which allows you to determine the most accurate days for conception.
