The ClearBlue Easy Fertility Monitor is a fertility aid for individuals trying to conceive a child. This particular machine retails for around $150 and is made by Clear Blue Easy. In order to operate the monitor you will also need to purchase the sticks which you should be able to pick up for around $40. The great thing with this machine is its saves all your data monthly and will track your ovualtion cycle and your periods. The monitor is for single use by one person and should not be re-sold once it has served its purpose.
You need to wait to use the ClearBlue Easy Fertility Monitor until after you have your menstrual period. You need to select the date for the first day of your period once your period arrives, and then its a matter of inputting the time you wish to begin the test each day. The monitor is needed for testing daily, so you need to turn it on around the same time each day. Based on where you’re up to in your cycle, the monitor will indicate when its best to urinate on the stick before you place it in the machine. The monitor has an indicator on screen which will show you where you are up to in your fertility cycle. The goal of this type of monitor is to calculate your peak fertility days to increase your chances of achieving pregnancy.
The problem with the monitor is that the main purchaser of this machine would be someone who is having problems conceiving. However, the monitor is not recommended for anyone who has (PCOS) Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome or for anyone whose on Clomid, the medication for fertility. PCOS is one of the main causes of infertility in women. Clomid is perhaps one of the most prescribed medications for infertility issues. Many women who have irregular cycles are actually not ovulating. As most of these women are not ovulating they will never get accurate peak days of fertility. These women will not receive the full benefits of the fertility monitor.
For anyone who has no fertility problems and whose looking to get pregnant quickly the monitor is ideal. One thing you could try before the Clear Blue Fertility Monitor would be family planning methods, Billings method or basal body temperature montoring. Once all these avenues are exhausted, both partners should see a doctor to find out if there is a underlying health issue.. If the male partner is having fertility issues then the fertility monitor will not be of any use.
The monitor works for certain couples. If you have tried methods like the basal body temperature charting, billings method or other ovulation predicators then you may need to be tested to see if there is an underlying issues before trying the monitor. Consult your physician on their advice on the ClearBlue Fertility Monitor and whether it will work for you.
