So my co-worker recently found and gave me her Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor
to use as she isn't using it any longer. I downloaded the instructions to it here.
As it was used before me I will need to reset it or it will be going on its memory of my co-workers last 6 cycles. So I tried to take a picture step-by-step to show you how to do this if you are thinking of buying a used monitor.
Step 1. Make sure the monitor is OFF and open up a test stick. I bought a few expired test sticks for this so that I don't waste a set of new ones.
Step 2. Unwrap the test stick.
Step 3. Prepare stick for insertion into monitor. You must remove the cap (on the left)
Step 4. Place cap on opposite end (over the soft wick).
This is what it looks like once inserted.
Step 6. Note: I don't have pictures of these steps exactly as I needed both hands and could not take a picture of it.
a. Press and HOLD the m button (to the right of the display.
b. Turn the monitor on. The button will be on the left side of the monitor.
Step 7. At first you will see on the screen this symbol warning that a test stick is inserted and must be removed. KEEP HOLDING DOWN THE m BUTTON!
Step 8. Next, the display will show all of the symbols on the monitor. KEEP HOLDING DOWN THE m BUTTON!
Step 9. Once the screen returns to just the sign warning to remove the test stick, you can let go of the m button and remove the stick.
Now your monitor is ready for it's first use! You'll see the flashing m symbol and two dashes where the cycle day is like so:
So now I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of AF so that I can begin using the monitor! This cycle I intend to use soy isoflavones on CD3 for 5 days to try and jumpstart my estrogen and bring on ovulation.
We'll see!

Step 5. Your test stick is now ready to use in the monitor. The view you see here should be facing up when you insert it into the monitor.
This is what it looks like once inserted.
