CLEARBLUE DIGITAL FERTILITY TEST INSTRUCTIONS
Clearblue Digital Ovulation Test is available as a 7 test pack.
How do I carry out the Clearblue Digital Ovulation Test?
Remove a test stick from its foil wrapper.
Remove the cap and insert the test stick into the test holder. The test stick and test holder are
marked with pink arrows that must be aligned to ensure correct insertion. The test stick clicks
into place when inserted and a 'Test Ready' symbol appears on the test holder display.
When the ‘Test Ready’ symbol appears simply hold the Absorbent Tip in the urine stream for 5 to
7 seconds.
Alternatively, collect a sample of urine in a clean dry container and immerse the Absorbent Tip in
the collected specimen for 15 seconds.
Keep the Absorbent Sampler pointing downwards or lay the Test flat. After 20 to 40 seconds, the
‘Test Ready’ symbol will flash to show that the Test is working.
Replace the cap and then wipe off any excess urine.
Within 3 minutes, the Display will show your result. A ‘circle’ symbolises a ‘No LH Surge’ result or
a ‘smiley face’ indicates an ‘LH Surge’ result.
If the test result is a ‘circle’, indicating a ‘No LH Surge’ result, test again 24 hours later.
A ‘smiley face’, showing that the Test has detected the LH surge, means there is no need to test
again this cycle. Making love any time in the next 48 hours will maximise your chance of becoming pregnant.
How does the Test work?
Clearblue Digital Ovulation Test helps women to pinpoint the most fertile days in their cycle by identifying a sudden surge in Luteinising Hormone (LH) in the body with a simple urine test. LH is the hormone that triggers the release of an egg from an ovary. This release - ovulation - usually occurs 24 to
36 hours after the LH surge.
Ovulation generally occurs 12 to 16 days before the start of the next period. However, this can vary
from one woman to another; and from cycle to cycle in the same woman.
Used on the days around the time in your cycle when the LH surge is expected, the Clearblue Digital
Ovulation Test identifies the few days when you are most likely to conceive. The result is shown on a
digital display: a ‘circle’ is a ‘No LH Surge’ result; a ‘smiley face’ indicates that the LH surge has been
detected.
When do I use the test?
When you start testing depends on the usual length of your cycle. Below is a simple chart that will tell
you when in your cycle you should start testing.
It is important that you haven't urinated for at least 4 hours before doing the test, because this ensures that the hormone in your urine is concentrated enough for the test to detect.
How can ovulation tests help you get pregnant?
The time when a woman is most fertile is on the day the LH surge is detected and the day after. A
woman is most likely to get pregnant if she and her partner have intercourse on these days. Clearblue
Digital Ovulation Test can help detect this LH surge, and therefore maximize her chances of
conceiving.
