What brands of Ovulation kits and HPTs is everyone using?

We bought the clearblue digital ovulation kit for this month- it was really easy to use and really clear but cost an absolute FORTUNE. If we don't concieve this month we'll try another brand next time.

I have used Crystal clear (you can apparently use it 7 days after ovulation & being the impatient nut I am I wanted to test as early as possible!), First Response and Discovery one step and the Clear blue ones. I wanna try the clear blue digital one too - the one that says 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant' rather than the lines. I hate the squinting up at the window desperately trying to see that second blue/pink line.

Just interested to see which ones everyone else prefers :)

I just had a look at those ones jax- they look fine, as long as they do the job! I will definitely get those if things dont work out this time.

I got my OPKs off trademe but i went international for HPTs because they worked out to be sooo much cheaper. Apparently its illegal to sell HPTs on trademe etc just do a search for HPTs in google and look for a site that will ship to NZ

Really? i got told it was illegal i believed it coz when i looked for HPTs on there, there were none lol

I do still recommend getting them from overseas its actually so much cheaper than here

Thanks for the ideas guys! I just did a search and found a site that does pregnancy tests for 85 cents (american) each! If we aren't lucky this month I am sooo getting them through there

No worries i know how expensive it gets lol i think when i got pregnant i had 80 OPKs and 18 HPTS lol sold them on tho

Digital Pregnancy Tests i think are about $20 if not a little more, i dont think they can be used again either. I never bothered with pharmacy tests i got my stick one +, then i went to the supermarket and got the little clearblue and that was +.

Yeah the digital one you can only use once as well. The good thing about them is they say pregnant or not pregnant so you don't have to worry about interpreting whether there is a second little line there or not. Works out very expensive if you have to buy them alot though! My chemist down the road sells them for $26.95.

I've heard of it but never tried it, but what I have heard has been good - especially for women with physical problems (like vaginosis etc) that would make sex painful even though they were desperately TTC, a lot of them were using it (I was briefly a member of a TTC group on livejournal.com when we were 'just thinking' about trying LMAO).
