Ovulation Test
Read this leaflet carefully before testing
5 important points you need to read
1. Peak Fertility is displayed constantly for 48 hours after it
first appears. The holder will not be able to read another
test while this is displayed.
2. Every woman’s cycles are unique and hormone patterns
dier so the number of fertile days you see is personal to
you. In a study of 87 women, this is what we saw:
3. If you started testing on the right day and you see more
than 9 High Fertility days you may wish to stop testing as
it’s unlikely that you will see Peak Fertility this cycle. See
question 4.
4. Only test once a day until you see High Fertility. For reliable
results you must use the urine after your longest sleep.
When you see High Fertility you can test more often. Drink
normally and it’s important not to urinate for 4 hours before
testing again.
5. If you remove the batteries from the holder you will not be
able to use it again.

Work out when to start testing
• Use the table below to work out when to start testing.
• The day your period starts (first day of full bleeding)
is Day 1 and your cycle length is the total number of
days from Day 1 until your next period starts.
• If your cycle length varies use the shortest cycle over
the last 6 to work out when to start testing.
• If you don’t know how long your cycle is, wait at least one
cycle and note the length of it so you know when to start
testing.
• It’s important to start testing on the day shown in the table,
for example if your cycle lasts 27 days start testing on day 7.
• Always test using the first urine after your longest sleep.

Low Fertility: small
chance of getting
pregnant
Having intercourse
today is just for fun
as it’s unlikely that
you will get
pregnant. Test
again tomorrow.
Low and High Fertility results are
displayed for 8 minutes. If you miss
seeing your result, eject the test stick
and it will re-appear for another
2 minutes.
Peak fertility is
displayed
constantly for
48 hours.
High Fertility:
increased chance
of getting
pregnant
Have intercourse to
increase your
chances of getting
pregnant.
A rise in estrogen
has been detected.
High Fertility will be
displayed until your
LH surge is
detected (Peak
Fertility).
Peak Fertility:
highest chance of
getting pregnant
Have intercourse to
maximize your
chances of getting
pregnant. Your LH
surge has been
detected - today
and tomorrow are
your most fertile
days. Once the first
day of Peak Fertility
is displayed don’t
try to test again this
cycle.

What happens if I don’t use the first urine after my
longest sleep?
You may get unexpected High Fertility results. Test as soon as
you can but drink normally.
How accurate is Clearblue® Advanced Digital Ovulation Test?
A laboratory study has shown the test to be over 99% accurate
in detecting the LH surge (Peak Fertility).*
I’ve not seen any High Fertility days. Why is this?
It may be that the estrogen level is not high enough to be
detected, or your hormone changes occur close together, or you
started testing too late. You may still see Peak Fertility and you
can rely on these results.
I’ve not seen any Peak Fertility days. Why is this?
Your LH surge may be too low to be detected, or you may not
have ovulated this cycle. This is not unusual but we recommend
you see your physician if you do not see Peak Fertility for 3
consecutive cycles.
If you miss a test around your LH surge you may not see Peak
Fertility so remember to test as advised, and use the same
holder throughout your cycle.
Can any medication or medical conditions aect the result?
Always read the manufacturer’s instructions for any medication
that you are taking before testing. Certain medical conditions
and medications can give misleading results, for example if you
are pregnant, or have recently been pregnant, have reached
menopause, have impaired liver or kidney function, have
polycystic ovarian syndrome, are taking fertility drugs containing
luteinizing hormone or human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (such a
Pregnyl® and Profasi®)**, or are taking antibiotics containing
tetracyclines.
Some fertility treatments such as Clomid®*** may give
misleading High Fertility results. Peak Fertility results should be
unaected.
Join us at:
• This test works dierently to other ovulation tests which detect
one hormone. This test detects 2 key fertility hormones –
estrogen and luteinizing hormone (LH). It’s important for the
test to establish ‘baseline’ levels of these hormones so start
testing as advised and keep testing with the same holder until
you see Peak Fertility.
• If there’s no significant rise above the baseline level of
hormones Low Fertility is displayed. You may see a number of
Low Fertility days before you see High or Peak Fertility.
• Estrogen rises in the days before the LH surge and prepares
your body for ovulation. When an estrogen rise is detected
High Fertility is displayed each day until Peak Fertility is
detected.
• High Fertility is indicated as a flashing smiley face.
• If an estrogen rise isn’t detected, or the estrogen rise and LH
surge are close together, you may not see High Fertility.
• An LH surge happens about 24-36 hours before an egg is
released from an ovary – ‘ovulation’. When your LH surge is
detected Peak Fertility is displayed and is generally displayed
after Low and High Fertility.
• Peak Fertility is displayed as a static smiley face (it does not
flash) and stays on the display constantly for 48 hours. If your
LH surge is detected on the first day of testing Peak Fertility will
be displayed.
• You may not see Low, High and Peak Fertility days every cycle.
This is not unusual. Refer to Questions and Answers for more
information.
• Have intercourse on High and Peak Fertility days to maximize
your chances of getting pregnant.

Other symbols and what they mean
The test stick has been ejected too soon.
Re-insert it quickly.
A symbol will be displayed within 10 minutes if an error
has occurred.
An error has occurred during testing. Test
again using a new test stick. If you have
collected urine, use this to test again as soon
as the display is blank. Otherwise test as
soon as you can but drink normally and don’t
urinate for 4 hours before testing again.
You cannot use this holder again, but you
can use any unused test sticks. Test again
using another holder from a new pack,
following the instructions carefully.
When you insert a test stick if the display
remains blank you may not have inserted it
correctly. Eject the test stick and start
again from step 2. If the test stick is
inserted correctly and the display is still
blank the holder is no longer working and
you will need to buy a new pack.
If the display is blank after testing it may be
that the holder has gotten very wet and it
is no longer working.
This appears when you insert a test stick for
first time. It will also appear if you are
testing after you have seen Peak Fertility, or
if you have not done a test for 3 or more
days in a row. If you miss 3 or more tests
and have not seen Peak Fertility it’s better to
wait for your next cycle before testing again.
