| Has anyone used this and is it good? I'm 35 and had no issue getting pregnant 3 years ago. I didn't track anything, just had sex unprotected for a few months. The baby came at a pretty busy time for us professionally so we are trying to be better this time around when trying for #2. I bought this at the grocery store to track to see when I ovulate. So far I'm 14 days in and nothing. Could that be accurate? Has anyone used this tool before? Are there better ones? Even though I'm 35 with one child I'm a complete novice! |
Do you have one with high fertility/peak fertility or one with the surge (equivalent to peak fertility) only? I use the former and I found it pretty reliable. I usually get high fertikity on day 9 or 10 and peak fertility a day or two later. However my cycles are on a short side. How long are your cycles? |
The surge one I believe. The one with the two lines that where both show dark during your peak time. Would you recommend one over the other? I have only started to track my cycles...I was on birth control for years and never gave it thought but it looks like it is around the 28 day mark. |
It sounds like you should have gotten the surge by now. See how it goes for a few more days, maybe your body is still adjusting. Personally I like the predictor that tracks both estrogen and LH. It gives you a day or two warning (high fertility) and also you are more confident both hormones work as they are supposed to. |
Is it the same brand? I would have thought so too but I haven't had much cervical mucus at this point. Last month, my first off of birth control I did, however. |
Yes clear blue. It costs about 40 dollars and it has enough sticks for 2 cycles. |
| I used the $100 tracker (borrowed from a friend) and it absolutely worked for me - pregnant at 35 and 38. |
| OP here. I didn't use it last month and tried around the same time frame and listened to my body (cervical mucus and when I could feel ovulation) and I got a positive! |
| Is the one the PP recommending the Clearblue Advanced ovulation test kit? I am in the same boat as OP- first month tracking using the Clearblue ovulation test kit and am 15 days in with nothing. Conceived our first two within one or two cycles. Just turned 36. |
This is the one to use! Worked for me twice (was pregnant second cycle after using this after 8 months trying w no success). Worked for many friends too. |

ClearBlue Advanced worked great for me, better than the regular CB. Advanced has the high and peak fertility readings so you get more of a window and it's much more obvious if you're not ovulating or somehow missing your ovulation. It's $35 or $40 with 2 months of test sticks.
