ovulation 'sticks' or 'strips' ?
hi all,
i've been lurking for a while but now i've finally come off the pill (YAY) i thought i'd join in )
basically, i've been looking on ebay for ovulation sticks and the 'strips' are coming up much cheaper. has anybody used these? are they the same and as effective? i'd rather get these if they work as they're much cheaper than the sticks and i will probably need to be using them a lot while i try to understand my cycle.
thanks XX

Welcome! Yeah the strips are what alot of the girls are referring to when they say ovulation sticks.... most of the ebay cheapies tend to be strips that you have dip into a urine sample - rather than peeing on a stick. I use the strips and they work for me. good luck! xx
good luck to you too!

I used the tescos strips n I found it really hard to tell if it was a definite positive or a high, I thought I was ovulating n 8days later I was still getting positives (which i wasn't ). I then used the cb tests n they were much easier n they said I wasn't actually ovulating, I got some from morrisons n they were only 3.17 wasn't sure if they were on offer but I would definitely gave a look.
Good luck everyone x
Hi h28 have you thought about seeing your GP if you have short cycles like that? They may be able to suggest something to increase them because the LH phase needs to be 10-14days and anything less may be not as easy for eggy to implant xx
