Pregmate 40 Ovulation and 10 Pregnancy Test Strips

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!

This kit has everything you need if you are comfortable reading strips.Note: Some people are not okay with reading strips because of faint lines and that is okay! My recommendation is to get an “easy” kit with a yes / no response if that is more your speed.I like several things about this kit. First, the financial benefit is there when you know you will be testing for several months on end. Second, the kit also comes with an additional 10 HCG (pregnancy) test strips. I didn’t realize how beneficial this bonus would be until stay at home orders were issued where we live.I am on an immunosuppressive therapy and I do not go to the store or pharmacy if I can help it.Back to the reasons this kit is great...I purchased the 40 LH + 10 HCG test strips kit. In conjunction with an ovulation app, I am and now able to recognize the signs leading up to a surge to test. This has helped me use only a few strips per cycle. In the beginning you’ll probably use more and that, too, is okay!Lastly, the level of supportive information provided from the box, to instruction manual, to the QR code located on the strips, the box, and the manuals (LH and HCG). So, if you’re self conscious about the box being seen and want to put the packets in a container or lose the instructions, no worries the QR code is on the backside of the packet as well. The packets themselves are also cutely decorated and feel less clinical. For those of us who live with health issue - less clinical feeling is nice.I’ve used this kit for a little over 5 months - first to learn my cycle in my family planning app, and then for when we started TTC. Now that I am seeing a doctor to help move things along, I’m empowered with pretty accurate data. Out of the 40 test strips, I’ve only had one come back that could not be read.
