Clear blue Digital Ovulation Test refills??

I'd given up on ovulation tests over the past couple of months as it was stressing me out but lockdown has given me far too much overthinking time and I decided to buy a Clearblue Digital Test. Previously I've only ever used the cheap internet ones.

They've just arrived and I thought I'd order some refills ready for next time and I can't find any online anywhere? Do they do refills or do they expect you to buy the whole test every month!? It cost £17 so seems very expensive for one month's worth!

My understanding is they don't do refills.....

You can only buy the refills for the single hormone ones (pink I think) - with the dual
Hormone one (purple? - been a while since used them) you get a new tester too each time but I would use the same tester for a couple of months as apparently it becomes more sensitive to your personal cycle the more you use it

Thanks! I've read the pack instructions as well and it seems to indicate that you need to buy a whole new set so I don't think I'll be keeping up these tests for long!

We have MFI but my scans have shown that I may have PCO although apparently not PCOS as I don't have the hormone imbalances. I think after finding out about the male factor problems and as the doctors seemed very blase about my results, I felt like I didn't need to worry too much. But after overthinking a lot it has made me question whether I am ovulating regularly.

We should have had our first IVF appointment by now but haven't because of lockdown. I hate it all being out of your control!

I use these sets and find they last me 2/3 months anyway! I don’t think you can buy them separately but I had lost a holder and had loads of tests, so brought a new kit and just used them old sticks until the holders battery ran out just fine! GL x

I would refrain from using such kits at all if you have polycystic ovaries. They are not recommended for use if this is present.
