Clear blue digital ovulation test

Hello!
I'm looking for advice on the clear blue digital ovulation tests. The information leaflet has recommended I start testing today (day 10 of my 30 day cycle) however when I put my information into fertility calculators they suggest my window is from 31st-6th. Does anyone have experience of using these and if so would you recommend testing as early as this or waiting until nearer my calculated dates? I'd hate to waste the strips by testing too early!

Hi @HighlandMam1

I use these and think you need to start when they say as the first test calculates a base line which is then used to measure increases in the hormones. I started when they said this month and had two days of O, two days of flashing and got my static this morn.

Good luck!

Thanks @Em4815 that is really useful to know. I previously used internet cheapies but became increasingly stressed by the inaccuracies so last month didn't track at all but thought I'd try give these a go this month in a hope they would be more reliable!

@Em4815 I forgot to add, good luck DTD. Sending you lots of baby dust and hoping this will be the month you'll have success!

Ah thanks @HighlandMam1 - you too!

Yes start that early for your first month so the stick can get a reading if your baseline level. Then next month you could probably leave it a few days later as the stick bit kinda remembers your personal normal hormone levels so month by month can measure an increase more easily xx

Thanks @sarahc336 for your help! I can't believe how confusing I've found a lot of this! I'm so grateful for this forum. 🙈😂
