Clearblue Fertility Monitor
The Marquette Method of NFP uses Clearblue Fertility Monitors as a tool for monitoring your daily reproductive hormone levels (estogen and luteinizing hormone).
Clearblue Fertility Monitor Test Sticks
In addition to the monitor, couples using the Marquette Method of NFP need to purchase at least one box of Clearblue Fertility Monitor Test Sticks. They are single-use and disposable.
Consult this chart to calculate how many sticks you will need per cycle or per month.
Additional Marquette Method Supplies
These items are not essential to every woman’s Marquette Method routine, but are useful in some situations.
Wondfo Ovulation Tests (LH Test Sticks)
Marquette recommends the Wondfo Brand of LH test sticks (a.k.a. Ovulation Predictor Kits or OPKs). These sticks are a low-cost way to add an additional LH test into your routine.
Proov Progesterone Tests
Marquette Method users can opt to include urniary progesterone testing to their routine as a “double-check” or confirmation of ovulation. Proov profesterone tests are the recommended brand.
TempDrop (Wearable Basal Body Thermometer)
Specimen Cup for Urine Collection
Mira Fertility Monitor
The Marquette Institute for Natural Family Planning has conducted preliminary research into the reliability of the Mira monitor as an aid to NFP (Bouchard et al., 2021). The Mira monitor tests the same hormones as the Clearblue Fertility Monitor, but it provides quantative (exact numbers) rather than qualitative (low, high, peak) results. Provisional “soft” protocols are available for couples who want to integrate the Mira Monitor into their Marquette Method tracking routine, either in addition to or as a substitute for the Clearblue Monitor.
Talk to your intructor (or get a free consult with one of our instructors) to discuss the pros and cons of using the Mira vs. the Clearblue monitor in your particular circumstances.
