Reddit reviews Clearblue Advanced Digital Ovulation Test, Predictor Kit, Featuring Advanced Ovulation Tests with Digital Results, 20 Ovulation Tests

A lot of people here use the MABIS thermometer and really like it. I just got a cheap one from Target and it works just fine. As far as OPKs, the Wondfo brand/other internet cheapies are really popular and super cheap compared to some of the digital ones (Clearblue, etc). It depends on your preference, though. My first time around I used the Clear Blue digital OPKs and I liked that they were cut and dry with their negative/positive response. This time I'm using Wondfos because they're much cheaper, although there is more room for interpretation with the negative/positive. You can check out /r/TFABLinePorn to see what pictures of positive/negative cheap OPKs look like. You can also get cheap HPTs bundles, too. Happy shopping!

This is exactly what I've always done. I like the CB for the low/high/peak distinction, but I like actually being able to see the strength of the line to determine actual positive OPK day. (...also, the Wondfos read faster than the CBs, and I'm not a patient woman.)

I really like the CBs because I don't feel like I have very readable CM most of the time. If you feel like you have a good handle on your CM, and if your CM follows a predictable pattern, you may not find them as useful -- the low/high distinction is made by detecting rising levels of estrogen in the fertile window, which is the same thing you're doing when looking at different kinds of CM.

This is the CB kit I've always ordered from Amazon. It's much cheapter to buy them from Amazon than in your local drugstore -- I think this same kit was something like $70 at my local CVS. You can re-use the reader for multiple cycles, as long as you still have sticks left.

In my opinion the clearblue fertility monitor is over-priced and uses old bulky technology (it has been around in this form-factor for about 15 years).

There is little need to spend the money on it as they sell another product that does exactly the same thing (tests for LH and Estrogen using identical sticks) that is called the "Clearblue Advanced Digital Ovulation Test".

The only thing that the Clearblue fertility monitor does that the Clearblue Advanced Digital Ovulation Test doesn't is cycle day calendaring and insists on a pre-selected test window - the cheaper Advanced Digital Ovulation Test will show exactly the same status, low fertility, high fertility and peak fertility at exactly the same times.

Don't believe that the Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor "adapts" to your cycle, it doesn't, it just keeps a note of your cycle length (which you can do with a chart, spreadsheet or fertility friend) - in fact lots of people who are Fertility Monitor pros just start feeding in sticks a couple of days before ovulation and stop after the peak reading.

Compare the prices -

Clearblue Advanced Digital Ovulation Test with 20 sticks included
= $35.98

vs

Clearblue Fertility Monitor - $151.99
+ 30 Sticks $48.76 = $200.75

I have all of these types of units btw, the two types of digital ovulation testers and also the CBFM.

NB: You need to make sure that you get the "Clearblue Advanced Digital Ovulation Test" not the "Clearblue Digital Ovulation Test" as this one only checks for LH (and not Estrogen and LH like the Advanced Digital Ovulation Test does).

It's digital, and it gives you the two peak high fertility days, and the surrounding high days

I know I've seen this answer somewhere on TFAB, but for the life of me...I cannot find it!

I've been using the CBAD OPK for 2 cycles. I know I need to buy it again so I can have more strips for this cycle, but what I'm not sure about is using the new plastic test holder.

Do I keep using the one I currently have (with the new strips), or use the holder that comes in the new box I just ordered? Thanks!

That's really expensive. Try Amazon, you will get 20 tests for $40.

Okay so I can’t find the stuff I read before (derp) but on the amazon reviews there’s someone that called and got the explanation, and there’s others who were getting husbands pee/tap water and getting high results because of the programming of it. I’ll try again to find the stuff later but for now: link

You say it's the one with just the sticks, do you mean this one?

I get them from Amazon, but I'm sure you can find a better deal somewhere. They are pricey for something you put pee on, but I think they're worth it.

You can use the old monitor with new sticks when you run out. Then old sticks with a new monitor. So, a box can last 2 to 3 cycles depending.

This is the one that I have: https://www.amazon.com/Clearblue-Ovulation-Predictor-Featuring-Packaging/dp/B00AOJ5R8W/ref=sr_1_4?crid=20ES6WHATG8Q9&keywords=clear+blue+digital+ovulation+tests&qid=1571773342&sprefix=clear+blue+%2Caps%2C171&sr=8-4

I bought mine at Walmart, but it's the same one. As far as I know, you can't just buy the refill sticks. You have to by the whole kit each time.

Love the info! Thank you. Mainly I meant the product listing.. Haha! Is it this one or this one?

Thanks again for sharing the study!

I use Clear Blue as well. These to be particular. http://www.amazon.com/Clearblue-Advanced-Digital-Ovulation-Count/dp/B00AOJ5R8W/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1418867664&sr=1-1&keywords=clearblue

This is my first go round at this though, so I am not sure if it works or not. Hopefully I will come back with good news. I did notice though that I went straight from an empty circle to a smiley face in one day. I read their site and sometimes women just go straight into peak without having a high fertility test reading. It isn't normal, but I was told to trust the test and that it was really sensitive.

I'm not 100% positive this is the one but I think it is: Clearblue Ovulation Test.

Warning: they are really f'ing expensive if you go a few months.

I liked the clear blue digital advanced. You can get a 2 month pack for $40 on amazon , depending on how long your cycles are and how frequently you test (2x/day vs 1x/day).

I like them because they test for estrogen levels which increase before LH starts to surge. So your supposed to get some advanced warning of O.
