The following chart outlines the phases of a woman??s menstrual cycle?? showing how the two most fertile days coincide with the LH surge (24-36 hours before ovulation) and the release of an egg (ovulation). These are a woman??s 2 best days to conceive a baby.</p>  <p><img src="ges-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/hpc/detail-page/lh_e3gChart_CB_20101201_B0000532QB.jpg" width="600" height="371" hspace="40" vspace="20" alt="High and Peak Fertility Chart"></p>  <p>However?? it is generally acknowledged that sperm can survive up to 5 days in the sperm-supportive mucus found in a woman??s body during the fertile days of her cycle meaning there is a fertile window of typically up to 6 days: 5 days before ovulation plus the day of ovulation. Traditional ovulation tests like Clearblue Digital Ovulation Test track the LH hormone and identify a 2 day window of fertility. But the Fertility Monitor also tracks estrogen levels?? which rise just before the LH surge?? extending the fertile window typically up to 6 days. This extended window can help to reduce the time it takes to conceive<sup>2</sup> as it gives more days to try?? plus gives advance notice of the 2 peak days.</p>  <p>Testing Directions</p> <p><img src="://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/hpc/detail-page/FAMdetail_CB_20101201_B0000532QB.jpg" width="569" height="247" hspace="40" vspace="20" alt="Detailed View of Fertility Monitor"></p> <p>The Fertility Monitor is easy to use and gives you clear accurate results.</p>  <ol><li>On the first day of your period?? you will press the M button to let the monitor know a new cycle has begun.</li>  <li>Each day?? you must switch on the Monitor and follow its directions.</li> <li>On mornings when the Monitor requires further information about"ur hormone changes?? a test will be requested.</li> <li>Simply remove the test stick from its wrapper.
