TTC after 35

another question regarding the clearblue fertility monitor

How long are we suppose to dip the tester in urine? I read somewhere we are suppose to leave it in there for 15 minutes.. Thats a long time to dip a tester. Im still getting a low reading and am currently on cd14. I normally ovulate around cd14 and 15 so i wanted to make sure im dipping the tester long enough.

  • I don't have a CBEFM (yet) but have been reading the instructions (link to them here) and it says

    Hold the Sampling End of the Test Stick pointing downwards
    in your urine stream for 3 seconds only.This is long enough
    to ensure the Sampling End is sufficiently wet. Alternatively,
    collect a sample of your urine in a clean, dry container and
    hold just the Sampling End in the urine for 15 seconds

  • I do the dipping thing.  I have a yellow plastic cup I keep with my monitor for just that purpose.  There is less splash that way!  LOL!  I'm glad to hear about the15 sec though, I'd been doing it just until I see it absorbing in the window.  Thanks!
