Yup, I know I have seen the answer to this on here before but I didn't need it then.  We have been trying to get pregnant again since April.  I was so sure it worked last month but the witch showed her face on Monday.  We even had sex every other freaking day last month!!  I have been keeping track of my cycles for the last 4 years on fertilityfriend.com, but I haven't done any temping in a long time.  I have a hard time getting up in the morning and usually forget or am not awake enough to even remember the temp LOL 

So, I want to buy some ovulation tests and was wondering how many I should buy?  I am going to get them from testsforless.com  My cycles are normally 32-34 days.  How often and when should I use the tests?  I know some ladies have used them twice a day and others just once a day.  Any suggestions from the pros out there?

With cycles of 32 - 34 days, I would start testing on CD 13 and test once a day until you see the lines getting darker and then switch to twice a day.  After one month of definitively know when you O, you may be able to cut down on the number and start a little later.

Good luck.

I bought 115 of them on eBay and tested pretty much from a few days after my period all the way through.  When I was close to when I thought I should be ovulating, I used 2 a day.  It worked on the second try so I still have a whole bunch of tests.

That is kind of how I figured I would go about it.  I never thought about eBay, but if you have a bunch left would you be interested in selling them?

They don't expire for almost 2 years so I'm planning to keep them in case we decide to hurry up and try again after this one.  I think I only paid about 25.00 for them on eBay though.

It was something similar to this...  http://cgi.ebay.com/Ovulation-Pregnancy-Test-Strips-100-Any- Combo_W0QQitemZ230420132682QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDoma in_0?ha****em35a61c334a

 No problem, I totally understand.  ;-)  I ended up buying a bunch off of Amazon.
