Conception study & Clearplan monitor

I've been very lucky to have been accepted onto a medical study giving me 6 months use of a Clearplan monitor. I have to do urine tests from day 6 to day 25 of my cycle and the monitor reads them and tells me whether I'm ovulating.

Does anyone know how these monitors work/what they are actually measuring?

I'm very excited about this and would love to hear from anyone who's also used a Clearplan monitor!

(pg ment)

The first month I bought and used the clearplan monitor I got pg. It measures Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in your urine. Right before you ovulate, the LH surges. this occurs approx. 6-48 hours before ovulation helping you to time BDing. The monitor takes the guess work out of reading a stick and deciding if the line is dark enough or not.

Hope this helps!!!!

Hi! Ised the Clearplan Monitor for 3 cycles. As far as I am aware the monitor identified when you have a rise in estrogen thereby denoting "high" fertility days as ovulation approaches as well at LH (Luteinizing Hormone) the hormone that surges just before ovulation occurs. Once the LH surge has been detected, the monitor will show that you are in "peak" fertility. I used in conjuction with temping and am happy to say that I am now pg!

Good luck!

If you don't mind me asking, where did you learn about this study? I would love to be able to use one of those monitors, but they are so pricey. I have heard nothing but good things about them. Good luck to you.

I heard about this study on a web site. It is based in Oxford, England.
