Count the first day of your period as Day 1, start

See Question 2 in Q & A.
WHEN TO START TESTING
The day the LH surge occurs varies from woman to woman and from one cycle to another.
To have the best chance of detecting your LH surge, you need to know your usual cycle
length. To work out your cycle length, count the day your period starts (first day of full
menstrual flow) as Day 1, and continue counting through to the day before your next period
starts. The number of days is your cycle length. If you do not know your usual cycle length
or your cycle length varies, refer to Question 1 in Q&A.
Use the table below to work out the day you should start testing. You can test any time of the day, but it should be at about the same
time each day (many women find it most convenient first thing in the morning). It is important that you have not urinated for at least
4 hours before testing, and you should avoid excessive fluid intake before testing.
How Clearblue® DIGITAL Ovulation Test works with you
Clearblue® DIGITAL Ovulation Test works by detecting the increase (surge) in a hormone
called Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in your urine. The LH surge occurs approximately 24-36
hours prior to the release of an egg from your ovaries – a process known as ovulation. You
are at your most fertile on the day your LH surge is detected and the day after.
Your 2 most fertile days begin from the time that Clearblue® DIGITAL Ovulation Test
detects your LH surge. Make love at any time in the next 48 hours to maximize your chance
of becoming pregnant.
Before applying urine to the Test Stick it must be inserted into the
Test Holder. Please read this leaflet carefully before doing a test.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
I do not know my usual cycle length or my cycle
length varies. How do I know when to start
testing?
If you don’t know your usual cycle length you are
advised to wait for at least one menstrual cycle,
and note the length of this cycle, before using
Clearblue® DIGITAL Ovulation Test. Once you
have determined your cycle length you can use
the instructions to work out when to start
testing.
If your cycle length varies by more than 3 days
then choose the shortest cycle you have had
over the last 6 months to work out when to start
testing. It is possible you may need to start a
new pack and use the new Test Holder and Test
Sticks to detect your LH surge.
Alternatively, if you wish to start testing without
knowing your cycle length, we recommend you
star t testing on day 10. (H owever, in this case it is
possible you may miss your LH surge because
you have started testing too late or you may
need to start a new pack to continue testing.)
(Refer to question 10).
My cycle length is outside of the range shown in
the table. How will I know when to start
testing?
If your cycle is 21 days or less , start testing on day
5. If your cycle is longer than 40 days, start
testing 17 days before you expect your next
period.
What time of the day should I carry out the test?
You may test any time of day, but you should test
at approximately the same time each day. You
should not have urinated for at least 4 hours
before testing.
Do I need to use all the tests?
No. You can stop testing when you detect your
LH surge, and save the remaining Test Sticks and
Test Holder to use next cycle if necessary.
Can I use the Test Holder with any other Test
Sticks?
You can only use Clearblue® DIGITAL Ovulation
Test Sticks with this Test Holder.
I have done a test, but the test ready symbol
has not started flashing. What does this mean?
The test has not been done correctly. An error
symbol will appear on the display within 10
minutes of testing. You should re-test with a new
Test Stick. For information on re-testing refer to
question 17 and ‘Using the Test Holder again’.
What if the Test Holder gets wet?
If the Test Holder gets wet you should wipe it
clean. Some splashing will not damage the Test
Holder, but if it becomes very wet it may be
damaged. If so, the display will either remain
blank or an error symbol will be displayed.
I have done a test, but no result has appeared
on the display. What does this mean?
Your result should appear on the display within
3 minutes of doing a test. If no result appears an
error symbol will appear on the display within
10 minutes. Refer to question 17.
How accurate is Clearblue® DIGITAL Ovulation
Test?
The Clearblue® DIGITAL Ovulation Test has
been shown in extensive laboratory trials to be
over 99% accurate in detecting the LH surge
prior to ovulation. The sensitivity of the
Clearblue® DIGITAL Ovulation Test is
40mIU/ml.
I’ve not yet detected my surge. What should
I do?
If your cycle length varies by more than 3 days
then it is possible that you may need to use
more tests to detect your LH surge. Some
women do not ovulate each cycle and
therefore will not see an LH surge in such
cycles. If you are concerned about your results
please see your doctor.
Can any medication or medical conditions
aect the result?
Always read the manufacturer’s instructions
for any medication that you are taking before
conducting a test.
Certain medical conditions and medications
can adversely aect the performance of the
test: for example if you are actually pregnant,
have recently been pregnant, have reached
menopause or have polycystic ovarian
syndrome you may get a misleading result. This
may also be true if you are taking fertility drugs
containing Luteinizing Hormone or human
Chorionic Gonadotrophin (such as Pregnyl®
and Profasi®)*. Please check with your doctor.
Clomiphene citrate (e.g., Clomid®**) does not
aect the tests, but may aect the length of
your cycle and, therefore, when you should be
testing. You may need to start a new pack and
use the new Test Holder and Test Sticks to
continue testing.
I’ve recently stopped using hormonal
contraception (e.g. the contraceptive pill).
Will this aect the results?
No, it will not aect your results. However your
natural hormone pattern is disrupted by
hormonal contraception and if you have
recently stopped using it your cycles can be
irregular and may take some time to stabilize.
You may wish to wait until you have had two
natural menstrual cycles, and note the length of
these cycles, before using Clearblue® DIGITAL
Ovulation Test.
Since it tells me when I am fertile, can I use
Clearblue® DIGITAL Ovulation Test as a
contraceptive?
No. Clearblue® DIGITAL Ovulation Test detects
the LH surge, which occurs only 24-36 hours
before ovulation. As sperm can survive for
several days, you might still become pregnant
if you made love before you detected your LH
surge.
I think I have become pregnant, what should I
do?
You can find out if you are pregnant up to 5 days
sooner than your missed period using a
Clearblue® Pregnancy Test. In laboratory testing
Clearblue® Pregnancy tests are more than 99%
accurate*** in detecting whether or not you are
pregnant when used from the day your period is
due. If you are pregnant you should see your
doctor who can advise what steps to take next.
The earlier you see your doctor, the better it is for
your own health.
I’ve used Clearblue® DIGITAL Ovulation Test for
several months and haven’t become pregnant.
Can I be sure of getting pregnant?
It can take many months to become pregnant.
There are many reasons why you may not
become pregnant even if you’ve been able to
make love at your most fertile time. If after
several months you’ve had no success, you
should consult your doctor.
ERROR MESSAGES
A flashing symbol (Error A)
has appeared on the display

The Test Stick has been ejected too soon. If it is
not re-inserted quickly enough then a further
error symbol will appear on the display. Refer to
Question 17.
This symbol (Error B) has
appeared on the display.
What does it mean?
An error has occurred during testing. It may
be that
• Urine has been applied to the absorbent tip

• The absorbent tip was not kept pointing
downward, or the test was not laid flat, after
urine was applied.
• Too much or too little urine was applied.

You should test again using a new Test Stick
taking care to follow the instructions. Refer to
‘Using the Test Holder again’.
This symbol (Error C) has
appeared on the display.
What does this mean?
The test has not performed as expected. This
may be because the instructions for use were
not followed. If you have unused Test Sticks in
the pack, do not use them with this Holder. You
will need to perform another test from a new
pack. Please follow the instructions for use
carefully.
The display has
remained blank.
What does this mean?
The test has not performed as expected. This
may be because the instructions for use were
not followed. If you have not applied urine to
the Test Stick eject it and start again. If the
Holder remains blank it will need to be
replaced.
LIMITS OF THE TEST
Certain medical conditions and medications
may or may not aect the reliability of this test
for predicting ovulation. These can include
pregnancy, post-partum, menopausal
symptoms, breast feeding, birth control pills,
some fertility medications and polycystic
ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Women with
medically diagnosed fertility problems should
ask their physicians if the product is suitable
for them.
