Clearblue – Ovulation Test
Contrary to appearances, getting pregnant is a complicated process. For fertilization to take place, many conditions must be met.
The most important thing is to have intercourse at the right time of the cycle, i.e. during ovulation. It is not easy to determine the moment of ovulation yourself, so it is worth reaching for Clearblue ovulation tests. Thanks to them, fertile days can be determined quickly and efficiently, which greatly facilitates conception.
The Clearblue Ovulation Test is a digital test which means it has a digital display. The Clearblue test enables a couple to maximize their care for a baby. The chances of conceiving naturally are much higher than usual as the Clearblue Digital Ovulation Test determines the 2 most fertile days of each cycle. It is possible thanks to determining the level of the most important hormone for fertility, i.e. luteinizing hormone (LH).
Determining its level gives much higher accuracy than keeping a calendar or temperature measurements. The result itself is given without errors on the aforementioned digital display.

ClearBlue Ovulation Test – Instructions for Use
The Clearblue Ovulation Test is easy to use, and with the flashing tester icon, you can be sure the test is working. Performing the test is very simple, but it is worth reading the leaflet carefully beforehand.
To perform a test, you need to know your cycle length to know when to test. The ovulation test can be performed at any time of the day, but you should remember to always do it at the same time of the day. It is also worth not to urinate for 4 hours before the test.
Take the test out of the package, remove the cap and place the tester in the holder. The pink arrows on the handle and the tester should contact evenly, and the tester should snap securely. When the ready symbol appears, you can begin the test. The tip of the tester should be placed in the urine stream for 5-7 seconds or immersed in the collected urine sample for 15 seconds. Do not get the handle wet.
Then wait 3 minutes. Lay the test flat or hold the test probe downward. After approximately 20-30 seconds, the Ready LED will flash to show that the test is working. After 3 minutes, the display will show a “smiley face”, which means that the woman has just 2 fertile days in her cycle. A blank box indicates no LH surge.

Clearblue – pregnancy tests
Clerarblue pregnancy tests, according to the manufacturer, have a proven 99% accuracy in pregnancy detection. Clearblue offers two types of pregnancy tests: the Clearblue pregnancy test with a Weeks Indicator and the Rapid Detection Pregnancy Test.

To perform the Clearblue Rapid Detection Pregnancy Test, first take it out of the package and remove the blue cap. Then perform the test immediately:
- hold the color-changing tip pointing downwards in your urine stream or in a urine sample in a clean, dry container for just 5 seconds
- the tip quickly turns pink, indicating that urine is being absorbed. Continue to hold the color-changing tip in your urine for full 5 seconds
- hold the color-changing tip downwards or lay the pregnancy test stick flat while waiting for the result.
- wait 3 minutes,
- after this time, a blue line should appear in the control window to indicate that the test has been performed correctly.

Clearblue Pregnancy Test with Weeks Indicator – Instructions
The Clearblue Pregnancy Test with Weeks Indicator can only be done 5 days before your missed period (usually 11 days after ovulation). This type of pregnancy test, in addition to detecting the presence of the pregnancy hormone, also shows how many weeks have passed since conception: 1-2, 2-3 or more than 3 weeks (3+).
The Weeks Indicator will tell you when you conceived with an accuracy of 93%.
User manual:
If you suspect that you may be pregnant and there is a week or more until your period is due to your period, you should do the Clerablue pregnancy test from the first urine in the morning – this will ensure that you get an accurate result both about whether you are pregnant and whether you are pregnant or if you are pregnant. On the other hand, if you are testing after your period is expected, you can test at any time of the day.
The manufacturer recommends that you avoid drinking too much water before doing a digital pregnancy test.
Before performing the test, take it out of the foil wrapper and remove the blue cap. Perform the test immediately:
- place the probe tip down in your urine stream for just 5 seconds. Be careful not to get the rest of the digital pregnancy test stick wet.
- instead, you can collect your urine sample in a clean container, then hold the probe tip down in the urine for just 20 seconds.
- you can replace the cap and place the digital pregnancy tester on a flat surface.
You need to hold the tip of the Clearblue Pregnancy Test facing down, or lay the Digital Pregnancy Test Tester flat while you wait for the result.
When the Clearblue Pregnancy Test with Weeks Indicator is completed, the Waiting hourglass will illuminate to confirm that the test is running. When the wait symbol disappears, the result will appear:
- no pregnancy,
- pregnancy 1 – 2 – you are pregnant and you conceived about 1-2 weeks ago,
- pregnancy 2 – 3 – you are pregnant and you conceived about 2 – 3 weeks ago,
- 3+ pregnancy – you are pregnant and conception was more than 3 weeks ago.
