Ovulation test
Thanks guys for all the response yesterday...I have million questions.
In your opinion, ovulation test or a waste of money. My doctor seems think its a really good idea because even when you have signs ovulation it could be a day or tow after you have actually ovulated.
The other questions I looked at them in the stores and they range any where from 20.00 to 50.00. Any recommendations?

I use Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor only because my cycles arent always the same.
Please do not use the Answer Brand POAS ones... they will give you a false positive. You can use the Answer Brand that you pee in a cup and dip the strip.
Clear Blue Easy Also makes Ovulation kits, as does First Response. I love my CBEFM.
Are you temping as well? If you are...please use Fertilityfriend.com it will help you learn your cycles.

It will help track your cycle from Day 1. You pee on a stick usually starting CD9 and it will give you a Low, High, and Then Peak day...Peak day is when you are most likely to ovualate. Do a google search and you can find many reviews on it.
Also do you have a think to your chart for FF?

Hey Girl-
As soon as my sister told me about the Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor I went out and bought one. Then I read that if you have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Sydrome) that it can give you false negatives, etc. BUT I also heard that with any Ovulation Predictor kits. So anyway.... I buy the Dollar Store brand ones, but I get them at BIG LOTS. It's like a pack of 7 for $6 or somethin like that. They work just fine for me..... so I have never used my CBEFM. I need to sell it I think!
You can get cheap ones online from babywishes.org or babywishes.com. You can 50 of them for like $20. They always worked for me, but not for everyone.
As for the fertility monitor, it is useful if you have inconsistent cycles. However, if your cycle is a consistent length within a few days, you normally always ovulate within the same few days, and thus it isn't worth the money. For me -- unmedicated, I always O CD 14 - 16, so I was just spending money to tell me that month after month. So, I would go for cheap OPKs if you are regular.
