Where is the CHEAPEST place to purchase them... store, online website, etc?

I'm gathering it's cheaper online than in the store, but I want to know where you found it cheaper...

Also, have you found a certain one or ones that are better quality?

What brands do you use?

I've purchased a few from the dollar store this past month to kinda get an idea if I'm O'ing and when (even with ewcm)... Prior to this I've never used them. We were just going to BD and I was going to use my BBT to chart my way thru the cycle(s).

However, I really want this so with an opk I thought we can increase our chances even more!


Gimme your input, please we're not minding the at all, it's added a different sort of twist in our love life

I had a dollar store that sold seven-packs for $1. Unfortunately they all expired in 2008

I bought mine on ebay - I got 55 OPK's and 5 PG tests for $8! They are the dip kind - so you pee in a cup and dip it in. I liked having that many because I could test 3-4 times a day to catch the surge.

They worked just fine for me!

Here's where I get mine and they work great (I use the dip strips because they are cheaper). And I think their HPTs work well too......well, actually maybe they don't work well since mine always turn up negative! Early Pregnancy Tests and Ovulation Predictor Kits for Home Use

Also, I have found that using the OPKs twice a day makes it easier to catch you LH surge. I usually test at 1:00pm and 8:00pm, that way I hopefully won't miss it. Buying in bulk makes it a lot more cost effective to test twice daily.

I bought some on impulse from eBay... 15.99 + free ship for 50 opk + 10 hpt

I book marked the websites, thanks again!

Not holding my breath entirely to ebay, so I don't know that I would make that a regular thing. But, I do think I'm going to check out those web links and set up an acct!

Does anyone use the saliva thing to check for ferning? How accurate is it?
