    Just wanted to add that there is an fantastic book on Fertility (and predicting ovulation) called Taking Charge of Your Fertililty by Toni Weschler....it is very clear and easy to read. No I am not the author :) just a very pleased reader who tried every ovulation predictor going but it was this method that brought on our success. And if you borrow it from your local library it doesn't cost a penny - great for MSEs!

    There is a web site to go along with the book http://www.tcoyf.com/

    as well as loads of reviews on Amazon

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0091887585/qid=1092348154/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/202-9504106-2895818

    I would highly recommend a look - can't praise it enough

    Hi, was reading all your comments and managed to find this website.

    https://www.easy-tests.com/acatalog/copy_of_Midstream.html

    Hope this helps.
    They seem to be quite cheap.Although the delivery is £2.50. Not sure if this depends on how many you actually buy?

    I would totally agree with this recommendation. You don't have to go the whole hog with temperature-taking to begin with if you don't want to, you can just monitor certain physical signs instead. I did this and have been very fortunate to fall pregnant on my first cycle since deciding to start trying for a baby.
    Baby #1 due December '05 :)

    I bought 100 ovulation test strips off of ebay for £20 including P & P from Australia! They obviously worked because, in conjunction with Toni Welschers excellent book, I got pregnant in the fist cycle:j


    Now, can I interest anyone in 90 unused ovualtion tests going very cheap:rolleyes:

    If you have a Home Bargains or Quality Save shop (both exactly the same) near you, mostly in the north of england, they sell pregnancy test strips for 89p !!

    Not a bad price to keep one at home - just in case !!

  • Try https://www.thenewyou.net, 20 ovulation strips for £13 and preg tests are even cheaper and free post and packing, good variety as well and fast delivery.
    Also they sell fetal dopplers Ive used one they are really good
  • Thanks ijim.

    https://www.accessdiagnostics.co.uk - the ovulation test kits on here are really cheap.

    I just ordered 10 of the Advanced LH Home Ovulation Tests for £7.49 and if you pop WW2 into the codes section you get a further 5% off your order. And there's no p&p to pay either!

    The source for the discount code (valid until Dec 2006) is the Discovery Home & Health website.
