Product Review: OPK & Pregnancy test did not work for me
Summary: 2 Stars
If you've read Toni Weschler's book, Taking Charge of Your Fertility, then you know that OPKs (ovulation predictor kits) are misleading for a number of reasons (Toni mentions 10 reasons, see p. 148). Despite this, I felt I needed to arm myself with all the available information and technology due to my irregular cycles and my desire to get pregnant. So I purchased these OPKs. As it turns out, I'm one of a "significant number of women who peak (LH surge) below the threshold that the kits actually test."
I used an OPK every day of my last cycle. Every day this OPK said I was not ovulating (NEGATIVE). However, thankfully I was charting both my temperature and my cervical fluid and they both told me that I WAS ovuluating and WHEN. 11 days post ovulation (11 DPO) I took the pregnancy test that came with this package. NEGATIVE. I bought a well-known over-the-counter pregnancy test and it came up POSITIVE. I just got back from the doctor's office today and my blood test confirmed a POSITIVE pregnancy.
Moral of this story: OPKs have several inherent problems with them. Don't waste your money and instead chart your temps and cervical fluid. Get to know your body. Also, ask vendors at what HCG levels they test for. I was able to find this information on the website of the over-the-counter pregnancy test. This product, however, does not label their product with this information.

The product came on a timely basis and both price and shipping were much better than any retail store. Although not the top of the line, most advanced test kit, it does what it's designed to do.Product Review: Ovulation test review

These are OK, but I am not sure how reliable they are as compared to more expensive products. They are harder to use, because they are small.Product Review: Pregnant!!!

It seems to me that the only difference between these and the opk's you buy in a pharmacy is that these don't come with the plastic applicator and cap. I'm SO glad we made this purchase! Until now, I assumed I ovulated on day 14 of my normal 28-day cycle. So naturally I was surprised when I continued to receive negative test results on days 12-14! I began to think I wasn't ovulating this month until TODAY! Today is day 15 and I tested this morning around 8am and got a faint line. When I got home from work around 6pm BOOM, I got a dark, strong line! Now I know I'm just a late ovulator! Thank goodness! Shipping took over a week but definitely worth the wait.
