Reddit reviews PREGMATE 50 Ovulation Test Strips Predictor Kit (50 Count)

The advice you are going to receive here is mostly bullshit, bedsides the few who have seen a real doctor. I highly recommend seeking a guidance with a fertility clinic. I can already tell some of these posts should be crossed over to r/badwomensanatomy

Begin tracking your cycle twice or once a day by utilizing LH Surge Prediction Strips. I found a brand that works well for me and has been accurate thus far: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G5WEE9Y?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

You will need to keep a journal and begin taking notes about the texture, color, and wetness of your vaginal and cervical mucus. I recommend getting a box of gloves and dipping your fingers in around the same time you take the LH Surge Strip. You are looking for a specific texture change that begins to develop the closer you are to ovulating. I won't go into the different mucus types because you can find that information online easily. Again, see a medical professional.

If you see an LH Surge come up positive and you notice perhaps your mucus is BEGINNING to be clear, more elastic, and wet than usual... It's likely you are anywhere from 24-48 hours prior to ovulating. Have sex frequently during the next 48 hours, having sperm inside of you ready for the egg to drop is actually ideal. Sperm can survive up to five days but more likely, only two days. USE LUBE THAT IS SPECIFICALLY FORMULATED FOR CONCEPTION! Ordinary can kill sperm and impede travel.

Positions and the female orgasm don't really have play here. Studies have shown it's all about the mucus. Yes, having an orgasm produces more mucus but that doesn't mean it helps.

You can set a 15 minute timer after he cums and lay on your back to ensure some sperm have begun the journey through the mucus. Sperm are tiny and am of this is happening on an itty bitty scale. Extending this rest time or choosing different positions will have minimal impacts.

If you haven't already you both need to be STI tested and you need to have a new pap smear, physical exam, and ultrasound completed. You can have an infection or STI and show no symptoms. He should also have a physical examine completed.

Have all of your check and balances in place, if you are not pregnant within three months you may want to also consider having your partner's potency tested. Many couples underestimate how their male partner's reproductive health impacts becoming pregnant. I've had friends that suddenly become pregnant because the male quit drinking sodas.

Be educated and think for yourself. Don't rely on a bunch of perverts to tell you how to get pregnant. Join some pregnancy subs. Best of luck, I hope you are successful!!!!!!!

I just order mine in bulk on amazon, I like these Pregmate ones.

I usually ovulate around CD12 so I start testing around CD7 or 8. I try to test twice a day, once anywhere between 11 and 1 and then again within the first hour of being home from work.

I started with the ClearBlue test but I didn't have much luck with them so switched to the cheapies from Pregmate and have been much happier. With these I can at least see the gradual progression leading up to my surge (which I usually catch on the evening test). I test for another day or two after that until I notice the line start to lighten again.

Sorry you're going through this. I've been trying to conceive #2 for two years and peeing on those sticks is such a pain in the ass. I like the cheap OPKs from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/PREGMATE-Ovulation-Strips-Predictor-Pregnancy/dp/B01G5WEE9Y/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3P7W58ZAA3BTG&keywords=ovulation+test+strips&qid=1570040430&s=hpc&sprefix=ovula%2Chpc%2C185&sr=1-5
