Cheap but (at least semi) reliable OPKs and pregnancy tests on Amazon?

[sojo44]

Any recommendations?

I got the One Step ovulation tests on Amazon. Less than £5 for 30. I had irregular cycle lengths so didnt want to spend loads as started doing them CD8 (got positive CD16). I found they look around 8mins to completely dry for the result.

Pregnancy tests I got the Pro Matris tests from Ebay.

Ooo thank you! I was just looking at Wondfo on Amazon, though have no idea how reliable they would be.

I'm in the same boat, super irregular cycles, so probably need to test a bit more often, so didn't want to shell out silly amounts!!

When you use the cheap OPKs just remember dont use first morning urine. Best time to test is after 10am. Although I always waited until i got home from work at like 6pm.
At weekends I took 2 a day.

Also for it to be positive it the test line needs to as dark (if not darker) than the control line.

I got my BFP the first month after using OPKs. I think with my irregular cycles I just kept missing the peak time.

Good luck!

Yes, I may do that as well and do it after work. Half of me is just genuinely curious about my own cycles as being so irregular means I can't really map it against anything or the 'generic' cycle systems.

Oh that's great news!! Congrats on the BFP hurrah!!

Did you find you had to wait for your cycle to 'reset' and started OPK after AF or just started them mid cycle regardless just incase?

Thank you. I am 8 weeks now.
I waited until a new cycle but dont see why you couldnt start part way through a cycle if you dont think you have ovulated yet.

I hated the one step ones. Lines were never dark enough to read. I’ve been using wondfo and really like them. Can’t speak for pregnancy tests but have heard theirs are good too. I got my on amazon. They have several large packs. Last one I got was 50 opks and 20 hpts for around £8.
