Pregmate 40 Ovulation and 10 Pregnancy Test Strips

I was on the nexplanon birth control 2 months ago. We didn’t conceive the first month, which was expected but still disappointing. However, I of course wasn’t ready for another dissappointing month without knowing that I’m at least trying more than just laying there.So, I bought this combo pack even though I already had 15 left of my other pregnancy test strips and could’ve just gone with the full ovulation pack.I’m SO happy that I did.The ovulation strips work perfectly, but I didn’t take any progression pics because once they dry, they all dry pretty dark which isn’t a good representation at all for what they looked like at the time. (So DEFINITELY ONLY READ AND USE THE RESULTS AROUND 5 MINUTES. Anything after that is truly inaccurate with these tests.)I thought when I started testing that a positive LH surge would be obvious, but it wasn’t at the time. Looking back— it Should have been obvious. Every day, the line was definitely more faint than the control line, then one day it was significantly darker. HOWEVER, because it wasn’t quite as “dark as the control line”, I second guessed myself and asked a friend who confirmed that it was a positive.The next day when I tested, it was as dark as the line, then in the afternoon it was darker, then the next morning it was back to being light. (I was testing in AM and PM)Flash forward to 9 days past ovulation (6 days before missed period) and I used one of these pregnancy strips thinking that I was testing too early anyway and didn’t want to waste one of my others. Even though these tests have a sensitivity level of 25miu, I was completely surprised to see the Faintest of lines at only 9DPO. I didn’t have time to test with my other brand (another internet cheapie purchased as well off of amazon) as I had to run to work, but on the way home I ended up buying a clearblue digital because I thought MAYBE my eyes were deceiving me because the line was So faint and I have definitely thought I’ve seen lines before.The digital test look longer than the 5 minutes but finally came back with “positive”. Since then, I have been using these to show line progression and to ease my mind that it isn’t a chemical pregnancy since I ran that risk of false excitement by testing so early.I have also tested twice now with the same urine on my old tests to see how it would have held up. These pregmate strips are significantly thicker which makes the line that much easier to see. I can honestly say that I can BARLEY see the line from day one on these strips which have obviously dried and is even darker than it would have been then. So, I know for sure that on the thinner test strip I would have 100% missed the positive.Overall, because I bought these I can now know with certainty how old my baby should— which was a big concern being that I didn’t know when my ovulation would happen after being on birth control for over a year. It was a great experience with a great, easy-to-use product. I’m officially switching brands and will not be buying the other “5-star” amazon listing anymore.

I really like these. The sticks are super affordable when compared to the pregnancy test sticks you buy at the store that are mostly plastic. Why pay for all of that packaging? I highly recommend using the ovulation tests with the app. It gives you a much better sense of what your hormone levels are and tracks where you are in your cycle.

Ever find something that is inexpensive, simple, and works PERFECTLY? Yep, this is one of those products! After several months of temping and charting my cycles, I bought these test strips when we started actively TTC, and used them for two months before getting pregnant. I was a bit skeptical of these strips given the low price, but figured it was worth a try. I started using the ovulation test strips daily in the evening about 6 days before my earliest temp shift, and both months I was able to see several days of negative results, one day of a darker test line that was still a bit lighter than the control (beginning of LH surge), one day with test line darker than control (LH peak), one day of test dark but a bit lighter than control (end of LH surge) and then back to negative. Both months, I got my temp shift the morning after the first test strip that went back to negative, confirming that I had in fact ovulated after the LH surge detected by the test strips (I think this is unusually late, but it appears to be my personal pattern). My second month using the ovulation test strips, my temperature went up instead of down the morning of the day I expected to get my period, so I used one of the pregnancy test strips and I got a very, very faint positive at what was probably 11 days after ovulation (12 days after my most positive ovulation test and 9 days after my first higher post-ovulation temperature). The pregnancy tests got noticeably darker over next two days, and when I tested just for fun a week later (at approximately 4.5 weeks pregnant) I got a very strong positive with the test line almost as dark as the control. In total, I used about a third to half of the tests over two months, and I did not come across any defective strips in my box. The only negative I found with these tests was that you have to dip them in a cup of urine rather than just holding them in the stream, but I didn't have any problem with that, and certainly can't complain at this price (the fact that there's less material and plastic in each product also makes them a bit more environmentally friendly, so it's a plus too I guess). TL;DR - easy to use, easy to read, highly sensitive and accurate, unbeatable price, good ratio of ovulation tests to pregnancy tests. Highly recommended!

I am able to track my cycle with these OPK's. I know when my ovulation days are and I know when exactly my next cycle will start.Disclaimer: These cannot guarantee you any pregnancies, but it's good to know if you're ovulating in each cycle.

I’m on my third pregnancy and unfortunately my last one ended in miscarriage March 27, 2024. We knew we definitely wanted to try again and expand our family and because this essentially restarts my cycle I didn’t know how to track it anymore! Fast forward to June 25, 2024 and IM PREGNANT.OVULATION STRIPS: I tested them on my non fertile days and received a negative.. then when my period started again I followed instructions and the days that said I’d be ovulating I started testing and I could see the two lines getting darker as I went into my ovulation. It took us two ovulation cycles to get pregnant!!!PREGNANCY TESTS: these were a little disappointing. I feel like I got a bad batch. I initially used these to track when my pregnancy hormone went away after the miscarriage which they did. But then when I actually got pregnant again some were coming up positive and some were negative which led me to go and buy clear blue tests which all 5 (yes I took 5) came back positive. So i don’t know.. again maybe bad batch?
