comericals for them a lot but I was just
wondering if anyone has had anything
positive or negative about them?

I've never used them but I think they work
just like a pregnancy test. You pee on
them around the time you think you're
ovulating and if it turns pink then you're
definitely ovulating and you need to go
get busy! I have a steady 28 day cycle so
I pretty much know when i'm ovulating and
I also have a lot of sex so I don't use
them. I think if you have an irregular
cycle they'd be useful or if you wanted to
check to make sure you're ovulating at
all. They're also a little expensive, I
think.

I used one once trying to get pregnant
with my first. You just pee on them like
a pregnancy test. I got pregnant the
month that I used the test. They get
kind of pricey if you are using them every
month.

Easy, Yet Not Posted: 02-21-06 08:43am
I found using ovulation tests easy, yet
not at the same time. Going on the stick
was simple. However, the line is
supposed to be really dark when you are
ovulating. It starts to show up a few
days before, but it is hard to tell when
it is 'dark enough'. I tried them my
first two months and got so disgusted that
I stopped using them. Also, the line
turns dark anywhere from 12 to 36 hours
before you ovulate. So, if you take them
in the morning and it is dark, do you have
to hurry and have sex right away or do you
have time to wait until after work? Lol
they are very expensive and there are only
a few in a box. If you start testing too
soon, you end up buying more than one box.
Found that one out the hard way.

They are very very easy to use! You can
use them in the morning or
afternoon..Which ever best fits your
schedule!
And they always come with instructions on
usage and interpreting!
Good luck with them!
