Re: clear blue easy ovulation test

[Guest guest]

Christie,

I am not using the Clear Blue Easy tests, but my understanding is

they all work about the same. What day of your cycle did you start

testing? I know in an average 28 day cycle you should start testing

around day 11. You should not use your first morning urine, unlike

a pregnancy test. You should start testing some time after 10:00 am

and make sure you limit you fluid intake at least 2 hours prior to

testing. You only need to test once a day, about the same time each

day. If you see a faint line which is not as dark as the line on

the test strip it is usually negative (at least the several

different types I have tried have all been that way). You usually

don't have a " positive " test until the test line is as dark as the

line on the test strip. Once you test positive, that means you are

producing the hormone that will release the egg (ovulation). The

positive test means you will typically ovulate in 12-48 hours. I

have been using these for a couple of months now and have gotten

a " positive " each month. I am also taking my temps and have noticed

I have been ovulating on day 15 of my cycle each month. I have been

able to recognize I ovulate about 12-24 hours after receiving a

positive test result. These tests can be very helpful to recognize

your potential ovulation, but don't get discouraged if your test

doesn't turn positive. There are several reasons for this...you

might not have started testing early enough, you might not have

ovulated this month (which doesn't mean anything is wrong with

you...occassionaly women will just have an anovulatory cycle), or

maybe you didn't test at the right time or consitently. Try not to

get discouraged. My best recommendation is if you are having fertile

cervical fluid like you mentioned....have lots and lots of sex,

because even though those tests can be helpful...they don't know

everything.

Good Luck!
