This might do better in the getting
pregnant forum.
I am not sure on where to by cheap
ovulation tests but I know that a lot of
girls on here get bulk packages of
pregnancy test strips on ebay and it saves
them loads. Hope that helps!

Some people just buy tons and take a lot
every month if they get a negative on the
first test but no period. It is a stress
relieve to test for a lot of women who are
trying to conceive

I've tried different ovulation prediction
tests. When selecting an opk, decide when
you want to use it. Some brands are
supposedly sensitive enough to detect
using fmu, but others should be used
midday.
The Answer 20 are the cheapest I found at
a drug store. It has 20 test strips for
about $15. Reading the tests can be a bit
tricky because you have to compare two
lines to see which one is darker.
Sometimes you feel like you need to make a
judgment call.
I stopped using the Answer 20 because I
couldn't get a midday positive. In fact,
I couldn't even get any kind of a second
line midday. I could only get a positive
with fmu but it wasn't sensitive enough to
detect the LH surge on the first day. As
a result, I was detecting the surge a day
late and my LH surge was often late
relative to my temp increase.
Next I tried the most expensive opk - the
Clear Blue Easy Digital (CBED). It gives
you a happy face if it detects the LH
surge and it is supposedly so sensitive
that it will detect a surge even in fmu.
The first month it worked great. It did
seem to detect the surge perfectly in line
with my temp increase. In other words, I
had a temp increase two days after my LH
surge. The next two months weren't so
good. I did not get a single positive in
either of those months, whether I used
fmu, midday pee, or evening pee. I did
however, have a temp increase and regular
PMS in those months suggesting that I did
indeed ovulate.
Now I use the store brand. - CVS brand. I
think it is around $20-$25 per month.
This is the only one so far that will give
me a positive midday. It's still a
compare the two lines brand, but it seems
more to work for me. If you start the
tests at the right time, you won't need
all seven tests and you can spread monthly
supplies beyond a month.

The dollar store. For what you've been
paying, you could get 15-25 tests.

I LOVE the dolla sto! So does my daughter.
Sure most things in there are only worth a
dollar, but she feels really treated
sometimes.
