Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Approximately 150 female volunteers wishing to become pregnant will be recruited via web recruitment from around the UK and randomised 1:1 to receive Clearblue Digital ovulation tests (active arm) or no aid to conception (control arm) for 2 full menstrual cycles. All volunteers will complete study questionnaires and provide a urine sample at designated time points though out the menstrual cycle.

A sub-arm to this study, applied the same protocol to women in an infertility treatment setting; Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield. Additional exclusion criteria were applied to this cohort; had regular menstrual cycles between 25 and 35 days, and who did not have a diagnosis of bilateral or unilateral tubal blockage, documented anovulation or severe male-factor infertility (with \<5 million motile sperm per ejaculate). For this arm, the protocol was reviewed by Sheffield Research Ethics Committee 09/H1308/134.
