Increase Your Chances With The ClearBlue Fertility Monitor
Wednesday, September 1st, 2010The Clear Blue Monitor is to be used by individuals trying to have a baby as a fertiltiy aid. This particular machine retails for around $150 and is made by Clear Blue Easy. Once you purchase the monitor you will also need the sticks which most outlets sell for approximately $40. The machine will save your information from month to month tracking your period and ovulation cycle. This particular machine should not be re sold as its intended to be used by one person.
You need to wait to use the ClearBlue Easy Fertility Monitor until after you have your menstrual period. Once you have your period, you then need to set the date for the 1st day of your period and then enter the time you wish to take the test each day. The monitor is needed for testing daily, so you need to turn it on around the same time each day. Depending on where you are in your cycle, the monitor will tell you when you need to urinate on the stick and insert it into the machine. The indicator on the screen will show you where you are in your fertility cycle. The goal of this type of monitor is to calculate your peak fertility days to increase your chances of achieving pregnancy.
The problem with the monitor is that the main purchaser of this machine would be someone who is having problems conceiving. Regrettably, the actual fertility monitor is not for anyone taking fertility medication known as Clomid or anyone with Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. PCOS is one of the leading causes of female infertility. Clomid is the one of the most commonly prescribed fertility medications on the market. Many females who are experiencing irregular cycles are not actually ovulating. These women will never receive accurate peak fertility days because they are not ovulating. These women will not receive the full benefits of the fertility monitor.
If you are trying to get pregnant quickly and you have no fertility problems then the monitor is an excellent option. Because of the high cost, consider trying other things before purchasing the Clear Blue Fertility Monitor such as basal body temperature monitoring, family planning methods, or ovulation sticks. If you have exhausted all these methods then it may be time ot see a doctor to find out if there is a health issue stopping the conception. A fertility monitor for women will not be of any use especially when it is the male partner who is having fertility problems.
The monitor works for certain couples. If you have tried methods like the basal body temperature charting, billings method or other ovulation predicators then you may need to be tested to see if there is an underlying issues before trying the monitor. As with most health issues speak to your physician who will be able to discuss with you the Fertility Monitor Clear Blue and whether this is your best option.
