The aim of the Clearblue Fertility Monitor is to help women and couples become pregnant.
Successfully becoming pregnant really comes down to identifying which period you are most fertile and then having intercourse at that time.
Ovulation is the term used to describe the period where your body releases the necessary eggs ready for fertilization and consequently pregnancy. The Clearblue Monitor tracks which days are your most fertile as well as the increasing fertile days beforehand.
Like other monitors on the market, the Clearblue Easy Monitor monitors your body’s Luteinizing hormone levels and by doing so can predict and notify you of your two most fertile ovulating days.
However, unlike other monitors, the Clearblue Monitor also monitors your Estrogen hormone levels, which typically surge before ovulation takes place.
By also monitoring your Estrogen hormone levels, the Clearblue Monitor can also accurately predict and notify you of an additional five days of increasing fertility before your peak fertility levels and ovulation actually takes place.
This additional forewarning is key in the significantly higher success rate that women trying to conceive actually attain in becoming pregnant using the Clearblue Monitor compared with other fertility monitors.
A man’s sperm is capable of remaining active in your body for several days after intercourse and does not simply become ineffective immediately after intercourse.
With the old style of fertility monitor ovulation warning, often you were only warned once ovulation had already begun and possibly in the later stages of this peak fertility period.
This meant that you needed to quickly have intercourse before you missed out on the current window of fertility, which was simply impractical much of the time.
A man’s sperm may not always be capable of instant fertilization, which means that if you are literally at the end of your ovulation period, the sperm may not have enough time to do their job of fertilization.
At the time that you become most fertile and your ovulation starts, any active sperm present is capable of fertilizing any eggs that you release.
Monitors that you find on the market today that only focus on providing forecasting of your two peak days are useful more for identifying these days without your need to calculate and make mistakes manually.
Ovulation period indicating units and devices have been around for a while now and the standards and accuracy have improved significantly with time and by and large do a very good job.
You need to take a bit of care still when choosing a fertility monitor, since the reliability and accuracy of forecasting does still vary from brand to brand and it is probably this reason why the largest selling monitors are the top brands that have also been proven to perform.
In the modern world that we find ourselves today, couples are not only busier, but also increasingly wanting to become pregnant faster and with a greater chance of success.
This trend has been developing for some time, but other fertility monitor companies have not really developed their existing technology to any extent in order to meet this demand, except of course for Clearblue with their latest monitor.
It is safe to assume that it won’t be all that long before all fertility monitors on the market adopt the same basis for fertility forecasting and provide a greater window and potential for getting pregnant and getting pregnant faster.
Whether or not the other fertility monitor companies will further build on the already tremendous success that Clearblue Easy has found with their fertility monitor or indeed whether they can improve upon the key aspects that this monitor has been first to deliver is yet to be seen.
