Are these easy to use?

Do you need a "tub" to pee into or does it come with one?

Wanting to give ourselves the best change and thinking these will help

Only on cycle 2 but disheartened already.

Any other tips or which to buy on amazon

Hi! If you buy the easy at home ones download the pre mom app it's free and take photos of the tests  it gives you a rating of them, I enjoy it.
I also keep them in a book like @lettyloulou

I just started using these for the first time. I had never achieved pregnancy. We tried for 18 months then in December 2020 I had fertility blood tests via GP, which were all normal.

Then March 2021 found out I was pregnant but miscarried at 7 weeks. At the Early Pregnancy Unit, scans showed an enlarged right ovary and multiple cysts.

Cut to now - I've had fertility blood tests again and my progesterone levels are 49 so should be ovulating fine. I'm waiting for results of day 3 tests. I was referred to gynae recently and I had an internal and external ultrasound this week - and everything looked normal. No cysts, nothing. Everything moved as it should so no suggestion of endometriosis adhesions.

So here I am, trying these for the first time! I'm CD12 now and they are getting darker. I'm hopeful again! Baby dust to you ✨

Very easy to use! Just dip in the wee for 15-20 seconds and as soon as the test line is as dark or darker then the control line it's positive. Once you see a positive you'll now what to look out for each cycle 😊

I test once a day leading up to ovulation then 2-3 times a day near ovulation to catch my peak!

Use the clear blue ones too for the smiley face when you think you're about to ovulate! :)

Reply didn't send!

Did you find these helped/worked? I'm hoping they are easy to use. I'm using Flo and Clue apps

I think everyone starts like that, I thought for sure it would happen straight away with my son but it took 6 months and every month was hard..

I get mine from eBay think you can get 30 for around £4 but sure you can get them on Amazon too 😊

Thank you. We told ourselves we would just see what happened but found myself so disheartened this morning when AF came that I want to give ourselves the best chance.

Did you get from amazon?

I use these and they work perfectly well for me. They don't come with any sort of pot but I bought a small clear jug for that purpose, it's so much easier to dip the test in a sample and you get a more accurate result :)
