Cheap ov sticks v expensive ones?
I wonder if anyone can help me. My donor may not be able to oblige next week as he's donating for someones IVF but doesnt know when. So I usually ov on d12-14. D12 is tuesday and would be my ideal day as I'm working tuesday and wednesday earlies and have no childcare on thursday morning.The thought that I may ov in an evening and then not be able to do my AI until the following afternoon is awful anyway so if he is free I'm going to ask him for monday afternoon. But if I'm a few days from ov it seems a bit pointless. So I thought I would give ov tests another go.
I got some cheap ones from access diagnostics a few months ago but I drink a lot and the readings were always a very faint line, even on the day I felt my ov pain.( It obviously is ov as the day after my ewcm dries up completely). So I am wondering whether the more expensive tests would be any better or if the lines were really faint because I drink a lot(I did reduce it those afternoons that I tested).
Has anyone got any ideas?
Thankyou Helen.xx

Have you considered the clear blue digitial ovulation detector thingy, heard that they are very good and may give you a little more notice; although they are pricey, its worth it if it gets you that BFP!?!

Personally for me the cheapie sticks i got (off ebay) didn't work at all and i shall stick to cbd and checking ewcm in the future.
good luck!!
