    Where to get OPK's

    Hi There,

    I used to purchase my OPK's and HPT's from Lullaby Conceptions but they have recently changed the OPK's from the Blue handled ones to Red handled ones. The blue ones were great but the red handled ones do not work at all.

    Just wondering if you ladies know of any other website's to purchase reasonably priced tests from?

    Thanks,

    Tammy

    I used the Downunder ones there is a link on BB site - about $2 each I think and you can buy in bulk too and add HPT's too.

    I will see if I can find link -unless a moderator does first !

    i get all mine from there too which is also available on ebay. the same lady on ebay is cheaper cos there us no gst.

    they are great cos you can ahve 100 at a time and can test more frequently.

    the ones at the chemist for 5 for $55 are riduculous!

    I've tried the ones at Fertility Naturopath as well and the OPK's wouldn't detect ovulation and the HPT's gave me 2 definate false positives. There was a pink line within the 10 mins but all the other test I did were -ve, which was the correct reading because I wasn't pg.

    I wish they did work for me though as they are at a great price.

    Thanks for your suggestions, I might try downunder's goods.

    I bought some downunder one a few week ago but now I cant find the instructions. They are different to the expenive one from the chemist.
    Am I supposed to see control and test lines...
    Sorry if this is a stupid questions, these things are new to me...

    Thank

    You should always see a control line and usually a faint test line. The test line will get darker as you near ovulation and finally become as dark as or darker than the control line which it is a +'ve result.

    Good luck with the testing!
