PREGMATE100 Ovulation and 50 Pregnancy Test Strips Predictor Kit

really good price for how many tests you get!!

UPDATE: still absolutely loving these strips—They’re still my go-to! Before discovering these, I honestly thought I would probably switch to digital once I was actually trying to conceive as opposed to just tracking my cycle. However, I find these so user friendly and clear in comparison to other dip-stick brands that I am sure I will just keep using these when the time comes. I just ordered my second package after having the first one since July and using them religiously every cycle. I have somewhat erratic cycles too, so sometimes I go through a whole bunch of these every cycle trying to pinpoint my ovulation, and they still lasted a super long time. Plus, the pack comes with enough pregnancy tests that I don’t mind taking one or two for peace of mind if my period is a few days late, just to know I’m not pregnant. I have a copper IUD, so it’s not worth the money to pay for expensive drug store pregnancy tests when I am like 99.9% sure I’m not pregnant. There really is no better bang for your buck than these. On a slightly more serious note—I firmly believe in the importance of every woman getting to know the rhythm of her natural cycles. It may seem odd that I am using these tests while trying to avoid pregnancy, but I honestly think it should be the norm. It’s such a significant indicator of overall health, and every woman can benefit from the insight it provides. Companies like Pregmate who offer these strips at an affordable price make this practice accessible to women in every life circumstance. Perhaps a woman actively trying to conceive would be willing to plunk down a ton of money each month for digital LH tests, but a woman who isn’t would likely not be willing to do so, thus discouraging them from learning to track their cycles. Thank you, Pregmate, for allowing me to get to know my body at a price I can handle!ORIGINAL REVIEW:After giving these a try, I've decided they are going to be my new go-to's. I tried the popular Wondfo LH strips and was not a fan. After experimenting with a few more brands I eventually settled on using the Easy@Home brand which appear physically identical to the Wondfos, but I feel they perform a bit better because the dye run isn't as bad, making them easier to read. I've used those now for a while, but I think I'm going to permanently switch to these Pregmate ones. These perform pretty much the same as Easy@Home in terms of dye run/readability (maybe even slightly better), but I love that they are wider than your average cheapie LH strip! It doesn't really make them *that* much easier to read, but I never cared for how thin and flimsy the other ones were. These are sturdier and overall I just prefer using them, so I plan to continue. It doesn't hurt that the packaging is super cute too, and the price is excellent. I would highly recommend these.

Updated 11/2022 - Still swear by the Pregmate OPKs and pregnancy tests. Unfortunately two more miscarriages in 2021 and 2022 at 8 weeks (with a bunch of IVF in between). I’m my own best advocate and I can be that way because of the Pregmate OPKs and ovulation tracking.————Anyone who is seriously tracking their cycles while TTC knows that OPKs are critical. Sorry to say it took me too long to realize that the "cheapies" are far superior to the digital OPKs (you know the ones). After beginning TTC in 2017 and two early losses in the first half of 2018, we were diagnosed with infertility in late 2018 and began aggressive IVF treatment, some of which required "cycle priming" and ovulation tracking and that's when I learned about the Pregmate OPKs. We are still on this terrible train after multiple back to back retrieval cycles in 2019, a tragic second trimester loss after IVF in March 2020, complications from that pregnancy in Fall/Winter 2020-2021, the p*ndemic, and most recently our fourth pregnancy loss in May 2021, which was a complete surprise and unexpected. I was using Pregmate OPKs to track ovulation as part of a series of "recovery" cycles to make sure my endometrial lining wasn't damaged from multiple surgeries and we weren't really trying...taking advantage of the rare feel-good mood (if you've gone through IVF and pregnancy loss, you'll know exactly what I'm saying) that happened to coincide with ovulation day and by a miracle we got pregnant (we were told we had a 1-3% chance of spontaneous conception). Unfortunately lost the pregnancy at 8 weeks and have no solid answers (genetics came back normal), but the Pregmate OPKs are my OPK of choice. Since our clinic batches/schedules patients for embryo transfers and it can take a few months to get on the schedule, we decided to take an intentional pause and allow ourselves to heal and try to enjoy life without incessant appointments. Since I am a data-driven scientist, I'll continue to use the Pregmate OPKs during this time so I feel more confident in my cycles (and who knows, maybe we'll experience another miracle that hopefully results in a live birth of a healthy baby). The pregnancy tests aren't bad, either!
