The more advanced ovulation kit is that of the fertility monitors as they not only cost more but then they are more precise and accurate compared to the other two ovulation kits, fertility monitors are user friendly and help detect the fertility period of up to a week while the other two help detect the ovulation period or fertility period for a couple of days. The most popular and widely used fertility monitor is the Clearblue Easy ovulation kit.
