Top 10 most frequently asked questions How accurate are Clearblue Pregnancy Tests? All Clearblue Pregnancy Tests are more than 99% accurate at detecting pregnancy, when used from the day of your expected period. When can I test with Clearblue Pregnancy Tests? Clearblue offers a range of pregnancy tests, now including Clearblue Early Detection Pregnancy Test which can give you results up to 6 days before your missed period. Click here to find out more. If you take a pregnancy test before your expected period and get a ‘Not Pregnant’ result, there is still a chance that you may be pregnant because the level of the pregnancy hormone was not high enough for the pregnancy test to detect. See the Clearblue Pregnancy Test product pages for details of results of clinical testing with early pregnancy. I previously tested ‘Pregnant’ but have tested again and got a ‘Not Pregnant’ (negative) result, or my period has started. What does this mean? All Clearblue pregnancy tests are over 99% accurate at detecting the pregnancy hormone from the day of the expected period. If you get a positive result, you can be confident that you are pregnant. However, it’s possible to get a positive result and find out later that you are no longer pregnant (i.e. you may later get a negative result, or your period may start). Natural loss during the first few weeks of pregnancy, known as ‘early pregnancy loss’, is sadly not uncommon – in fact around 1 in 4 pregnancies end in early pregnancy loss. This can be an upsetting experience that unfortunately happens to a lot of people, but most women can go on to have a healthy pregnancy after an early loss. Dr Rebecca Brightman, a specialist in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, talks in more detail about early pregnancy loss in this short video. If you do get unexpected results, ask your doctor for advice. What is ovulation, when does it occur and why it important? Whether you are thinking about trying for a baby or trying already, gaining a better understanding about how your body works can be a big help. One in two couples could be trying to conceive on the wrong days of the woman’s cycle4, so we’ve put together some information to help you understand your menstrual cycle and the ovulation process. Ovulation happens when hormone changes trigger your ovaries to release an ovum (egg) – usually 12 to 16 days before your next period starts. You are most fertile on the few days leading up to and including the day of ovulation. The ova (eggs) are contained in your ovaries. During the first part of each menstrual cycle one of the eggs will be prepared for release from the ovary. As you approach ovulation, your body produces more estrogen. This hormone causes the lining of your uterus to thicken and also creates a sperm friendly environment. The higher estrogen level triggers a sudden rise or ‘surge’ in luteinising hormone (LH) which then triggers the release of the egg from your ovary, this is called ovulation. Normally, ovulation occurs 24 to 36 hours after the LH surge, and you are at your most fertile on the day of the LH surge and the day after. The egg survives for up to 24 hours after ovulation which is when it can be fertilised. If fertilisation does not occur, the levels of the fertility hormones decline and the next cycle starts with the shedding of the thickened uterus lining (period). Although the egg only survives for up to 24 hours, sperm can survive for up to five days. That is why you can still conceive even if you have sex 4 -5 days before the egg is released. i Johnson SR, Foster L and Ellis J. Human Reproduction (2011) 26: i236 What are the chances of getting pregnant during the fertile days? The chances of getting pregnant will vary cycle to cycle and woman to woman and will be dependent on many variables such as the woman’s age, her partner’s age, their general state of health and lifestyle. In a study3, the chances of getting pregnant on each of the days during the fertility window were reported and are shown in the graph below:- 3 Wilcox AJ., et al. NEJM (1995) 333: 1517 How can I find out when I’m most fertile? There are a number of ways that you can find out when you are most fertile, one of the most simple and accurate is by using home ovulation tests such as Clearblue Ovulation Tests and the Clearblue Advanced Fertility Monitor. Clearblue Easy Ovulation Test or Clearblue Digital Ovulation Test help you pinpoint the 2 most fertile days to conceive naturally, by detecting your LH surge. Clearblue Advanced Digital Ovulation Test is the only ovulation test that typically identifies 4 fertile days…2x any other ovulation test. It tracks the changing levels of both LH and estrogen and its smart algorithm adapts to your personal cycle. Clearblue Advanced Fertility Monitor is proven to almost double the chances of conceiving2 by identifying typically 6 fertile days. It not only detects the LH surge and pinpoints your 2 peak fertility days, but can also identify the additional days of high fertility leading up to ovulation, by detecting the rise in estrogen. It also stores your cycle information and adapts its testing regime to your personal cycle. Clearblue Advanced Fertility Monitor also provides a cycle tracker to help you plan and track your cycle during the time you are trying to get pregnant. 2 In the first 2 cycles of use. Robinson JE., et al. Fertility and Sterility (2007) 87: 329-334 I've used Clearblue Ovulation Tests for several months and haven't got pregnant. Can I be sure of getting pregnant? It can take normal, healthy women many months to conceive. There are many reasons why you may not get pregnant, even if you've made love at your most fertile time. So keep trying. If after several months of trying you've had no success, it’s advisable to go to see your doctor to find out more about your next steps. In the UK, your doctor will usually expect you to have been trying to get pregnant for a year if you are under 35 yrs old or for 6 months if you are 35-40 years old, before he will consider further investigation. If you are over 40 years old then you should ask for advice immediately. You may also want to learn more about the Clearblue Advanced Fertility Monitor. In a study, the Clearblue Advanced Fertility Monitor almost doubled the chances of conceiving over the first two cycles of useii.

If you want to avoid getting pregnant, then you DO need to use a method of contraception but it doesn’t have to be a ‘hassle’. There are many different methods to choose from with varying levels of reliability, ease of use, convenience etc. Some of these are ‘long-acting methods’ e.g. IUDs and implants, which are fitted by a doctor and then there is little more for you to do for months or even years. Other methods, such as natural family planning are hormone free, have no side effects and can have the benefit of helping you learn more about your body and your personal menstrual cycle. The key is to find a method that best suits your needs at this point in your life. When should I change my method of contraception? Throughout your reproductive life what you require from a method of contraception will change, as your body, your lifestyle and your life stage change. If you find that your current method is no longer ideal because, for instance, you are suffering from unwanted symptoms related to your contraception, it is difficult / inconvenient to use, it is no longer reliable enough, it doesn’t protect you from sexually transmitted diseases, it doesn’t suit your partner etc. then it may be time to consider changing. No method is perfect, so you may find after further investigation that in fact there is no better method for you at the moment, but there are many different types of contraception, so it is definitely worth looking into the choices you have. What is ‘natural family planning’? The definition of ‘natural family planning’ (NFP) is a method of avoiding conception by which sexual intercourse is restricted to the times of a woman’s menstrual cycle when ovulation is least likely to occur. An easy to use natural method of contraception is the Persona Contraception Monitor – click here to find more information on this method. Other common ways NFP is practised involve using a combination of 2 or more of the following: Calendar (rhythm) changes in cervical mucus changes in the cervix changes in basal body temperature (BBT) See our Contraception section for more information.

Mi ćemo vam pomoći da saznate istinu. Razotkrivamo najpopularnije mitove o trudnoći i pomažemo vam pronaći istinu pružajući vam činjenice (X) MIT: Nije moguće zatrudnjeti tijekom prvog nezaštićenog odnosa. (✓) ČINJENICA: Uobičajeni je mit da nije moguće zatrudnjeti tijekom prvog nezaštićenog odnosa. To jednostavno nije istina. Uvijek postoji mogućnost da ćete zatrudnjeti ako imate spolni odnos bez zaštite – čak i ako je to po prvi put. Ako imate nezaštićeni spolni odnos, a ne želite zatrudnjeti, morat ćete odabrati metodu kontracepcije koja vam najviše odgovara. (X) MIT: Ako zaboravite započeti s novim pakiranjem kontracepcijskih pilula nakon 7-dnevne pauze, ne možete zatrudnjeti. (✓)ČINJENICA: Ne. Moguće je da zatrudnite. Jedan od načina na koji pilula djeluje je sprječavanje ovulacije. Ako zaboravite uzeti bilo koju pilulu, učinkovitost pilule kao sredstva za kontracepciju će biti smanjena. (X) MIT: Ako imate spolni odnos tijekom mjesečnice, ne možete zatrudnjeti. (✓)ČINJENICA: Nije vjerojatno da ćete zatrudnjeti, no ipak je moguće. Plodni ste tijekom dana prije i oko razdoblja ovulacije – zbog životnog vijeka spermatozoida – i ako imate kratki ciklus, možete ovulirati upravo nakon mjesečnice. Prema tome, možete biti plodni vrlo rano tijekom ciklusa, dok još krvarite. Saznajte više o svojem ciklusu i ovulaciji (X) MIT: Najvjerojatnije ćete zatrudnjeti 14. dana vašeg ciklusa. (✓)ČINJENICA: Ne nužno. To ovisi o duljini vašeg ciklusa i vremenu kada ovulirate. Vaše najplodnije razdoblje je na dan ovulacije i dan prije (općenito, 12-16 dana prije početka sljedeće mjesečnice). Prema tome, ako imate kratki ciklus, recimo 20 dana, vjerojatno ćete ovulirati mnogo prije 14. dana, a isto tako, ako vam je ciklus dug, recimo 35 dana, vjerojatno ćete ovulirati oko 20. dana. Dakle, pravilo '14. dana' je 'školsko pravilo' – za žene čiji se ciklus svaki put poklapa sa školskom idejom od 28 dana! I zapamtite, duljina ciklusa varira od ciklusa do ciklusa i od žene do žene. I nemojte zaboraviti da spermatozoidi mogu preživjeti nekoliko dana, tako da ako i imate spolni odnos nekoliko dana prije ovulacije, i dalje možete zatrudnjeti. Pokušavate zatrudnjeti? Saznajte više o povećanju vaših izgleda (X) MIT: Možete začeti samo tijekom dva dana svakog ciklusa. (✓)ČINJENICA:To nije istina. Plodno razdoblje' traje 6 dana. Vaše najplodnije razdoblje je na dan ovulacije i dan prije. Međutim, budući da spermatozoidi mogu preživjeti do pet dana, spolni odnosi tijekom dana prije ovulacije mogu povećati vaše izglede za trudnoću. Clearblue testovi za utvrđivanje ovulacije mogu vam pomoći pri utvrđivanju do četiri dana vašeg najplodnijeg razdoblja. Clearblue nadzor plodnosti vam obično može utvrditi do šest dana plodnog razdoblja otkrivajući dva hormona plodnosti, estrogen i luteinizirajući hormon (LH). (X) MIT: Test za utvrđivanje trudnoće možete provesti odmah nakon spolnog odnosa. (✓)ČINJENICA: Ne, ne možete. Treba proći približno šest do sedam dana nakon što je jajašce oplođeno (nakon spolnog odnosa) prije nego vaše tijelo počne proizvoditi hormon trudnoće (hCG) te još nekoliko dana prije nego razina bude dovoljno visoka da je test za utvrđivanje trudnoće može očitati. Testovi Clearblue za utvrđivanje trudnoće mogu se upotrebljavati do 5 dana prije vaše izostale mjesečnice (što je 4 dana prije vaše očekivane mjesečnice) iako razine hormona trudnoće u vašoj mokraći možda neće biti dovoljno visoka kako bi bila utvrđena. Prema tome, ako se testirate i dobijete rezultat „Nije trudnoća“, preporučujemo vam da se testirate ponovo na dan vaše očekivane mjesečnice. Kako biste izračunali kada trebate dobiti mjesečnicu, izračunajte vašu uobičajenu duljinu ciklusa uračunavajući broj dana od prvog dana vaše mjesečnice do dana prije početka vaše sljedeće mjesečnice. Ako imate neredovite cikluse, dobra je ideja uračunati najdulji ciklus tijekom nedavnih mjeseci prije testiranja Ako ne znate kada trebate dobiti sljedeću mjesečnicu, preporučujemo vam da pričekate najmanje 19 dana od zadnjeg nezaštićenog spolnog odnosa prije provođenja Clearblue testa za utvrđivanje trudnoće Ako se testirate nakon dana vaše očekivane mjesečnice, možete se testirati u bilo koje vrijeme dana. Ako se testirate rano, trebate upotrijebiti prvu jutarnju mokraću Kako biste dobili ispravni rezultat, izbjegavajte unošenje mnogo tekućine (uključujući vodu) prije testiranja Ako dobijete rezultat 'Nije trudnoća': Ako ste se testirali ranije (prije vaše očekivane mjesečnice), testirajte se ponovo na dan očekivane mjesečnice Ako ste se testirali dan ili nakon dana vaše očekivane mjesečnice, pričekajte tri dana i testirajte se ponovo Ako i drugi test prikaže rezultat 'Nije trudnoća', a još uvijek niste dobili mjesečnicu, trebate posjetiti svojeg liječnika (X) MIT: Trebate pričekati nekoliko dana nakon što vam je mjesečnica izostala prije provođenja Clearblue testa za utvrđivanje trudnoće. (✓)ČINJENICA: Netočno. Svi testovi Clearblue za utvrđivanje trudnoće pouzdani su više od 99 % od dana vaše očekivane mjesečnice. Ustvari, test Clearblue za utvrđivanje trudnoće možete upotrebljavati čak pet dana prije vaše izostale mjesečnice. Ako ste se testirali ranije i dobili rezultat „Trudnoća“, možete vjerovati rezultatu. Međutim, ako ste se testirali ranije i dobili rezultat „Nije trudnoća“, preporučuje vam da se testirate ponovo na dan vaše očekivane mjesečnice. Uvijek trebate pročitati informativni letak u pakiranju prije provedbe testa za utvrđivanje trudnoće.
