    Thanks a lot for that crei - that makes a lot of sense, hopefully I'll get my high on the CB monitor soon!

    I've done some 'research' for you!

    Persona indicates the widest interval during which it's likely you'll become pregnant. It asks you to abstain during that entire interval, therefore offers you good protection against a pregnancy.  

    Clearblue indicates the narrowest interval during which you are most likely to become pregnant. If you're interested in conceiving, this is exactly what you want; to maximize your chances by minimizing the interval - having intercourse on the [almost] exact day when you ovulate. However, if you're interested in pregnancy protection, the narrow interval leaves you vulnerable. You want a reasonable time interval buffer on either side of ovulation. >>

    Bottom line: Persona is a birth control method. Clearblue is a fertility monitor. They should not be used interchangeably.

     

    So, in English (!) your Persona monitor will show 'red' for longer to be safer for contraception use. Your CB Monitor will show high for around 4 days and peak for 2 days to maximise your chances of getting a BFP. If you want to get pregnant I'd really 'go for it' when the CB Monitor tell you to! hth

    Has anyone used both a Persona monitor and Clearblue monitor? I have been using Persona for about 6 months, before starting the CB trial, and thought I'd continue using it for the first month so I can compare what I get from Persona / Clearblue. I've been getting red indication from Persona for a few days now but I'm still on low status for CLearblue. I'm on day 9 of 28/29 day cycle. Has anyone else used both?
