 Three month supply?? NOT! October 9, 2008
If you have a long cycle, expect to use 20 sticks that first month since the machine starts you testing on day six and if you have not peaked by day fifteen it will ask you to test clear past your peak day and all the way to day twenty-five. Lesson learned after I had to buy another box of sticks to finish out month two when it started me testing on day eight. I think next month I will just time it so I only have to use half a box per cycle (15 sticks). Just start testing a few days later than the machine tells me to and stop testing after peak day will certainly cut down on stick usage and cost.
Cons -- After you have spent morning after morning looking at the lines on the stick and seeing which one(s) show, it is easy to predict what the machine is going to say. I sort of feel ripped off by having to use the machine to tell me what I can plainly see with my own eyes. But the machine makes it easy to keep track of cycle days and it is an easy reminder to test, so I am not overly upset.
I also find it easier and more accurate to use the "dip in a cup" method over the "running stream" method. Just use a disposable Dixie cup - much less messy and splashy.
I am not sorry I bought the system -- I just need to tweak it a bit so that the sticks actually last me for three months. Gave it four stars because it DOES what it is supposed to do, took away one star because it gets expensive to use as directed if you have any issues at all with your cycle.
My suggestion is to not rely too heavily on this machine and take the time to learn your body signs since sometimes signs come later in the day, even when you have had a low fertility reading in the morning. This is only an additional tool in natural family planning.
A bit pricey, but best on the market August 23, 2008
I have used a one-month supply of these test sticks and they perform well with the Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor. I have tried a few other kinds of fertility tests and there is no comparison. This is the best. I thought it was a little tough to figure it out the first day or two even though I read the instructions, as I was unsure if I was inserting the stick correctly into the monitor, but now its great.
The sticks themselves are individually wrapped and its a little tough to open the protective wrapping. When you open up a stick, the wick is exposed and the lid, which you use to cover the wick when youre done, is on the other end - like a pen cap. Three seconds is all you need, as the instructions state.
I am confident that this system is working and that it understands what is happening to my body each day. It is a really powerful tool and it is fantastic. I think it is much too expensive, however. But I would still insist that a person should buy it. Its that good.
One side note that I was utterly confused about. The first morning after your period starts is the first day according to the test. I found instructions about that really vague. Also, I accidentally wasted a test stick the first day because I was half asleep and the monitor never asked for a test stick. No harm, but just remember it will tell you when it wants you to test and that wont happen for about 5 days.
Works great in reverse too. August 17, 2008
My wife & I use this as product in reverse as an aide in avoiding pregnancy as part of Natural Family Planning. Worked like a charm until we decided to have a baby... then it still worked like a charm. Personally, I MUCH prefer the NFP method to all the other contraceptive plans out there... makes me feel like I'm going organic. :).
 I would order these again August 15, 2008
Shipped quickly and well within the expiration date. I would order again from Amazon.
Clear Blue for avoiding pregnancy July 14, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
My wife and I have used the Clear Blue as a natural, healthy way to avoid pregnancy, even though the makers did not design it for that. Of course it's not a magic spell. You need to know enough about the woman's cycle and abstain when you know she is fertile. Basically, when it says she is HIGH or PEAK, you find something to do besides sex, along with three days after PEAK. This is officially called Natural Family Planning (NFP), and it's far safer and more humane than using the pill. It takes self-control and (yes, that's right) respect for the woman.
