Clearblue Advanced Digital Ovulation Test is the only test to typically identify 4 or more fertile days (1) when you have the best chances to get pregnant naturally. By accurately tracking 2 key fertility hormones, estrogen and luteinising hormone, it identifies 2 peak fertility days, like all other ovulation tests, but also additional high fertility days before that. This means you have more opportunities to get pregnant - at least twice as many as with any other ovulation test*.
