Pregnancy Tests

By -
I still have yet to find pregnancy tests at the dollar store, but I did find these. If you order 1-9 it's $0.95 each. 10-19 $0.85 each. Plus if you use the code SPRINGFUN you get 10% off the order. If your order is $14.95 or more, you get free, same day shipping! Otherwise shipping is $1.99. I just filled a cart, to see what I'd get... and if I buy 17 pregnancy test strips, and one collection cup (they are not midstream tests... though the site has those too), shipping and all comes to 15.94!! What a deal! If I keep checking like I have been, I could use those up quickly!

I used these tests and they weren't bad. They didn't give me the results I wanted, but I can't blame that on the tests :D

Jen - this reminds me, did you get the preseed package? I'm curious as to how the product was. I would love a review.

I just ordered a package with both the predictors and the pregnancy tests! Im actually quite excited to get them. The promotional code "didnt apply" for what i ordered but the free shipping did.

Oh dear, please no one get mad at me about my opinion of these tests. I belong to a couple of IF websites, and everyone who uses the blue handled pregnancy tests from earlypregnancytests.com has nothing but confusion. They are NOTORIOUS for their evaporation lines; which leads to a lot of confusion and ultimately, heartache.

The only internet cheapie pregnancy tests I've ever liked are the Aimstick Dipstick tests from http://www.babyhopes.com They are more pricey than the blue handled cheapie tests, but they do NOT have evaporation lines and I have never gotten a misleading result.

I just don't want anyone to hurt anymore than they already do. :(

I noticed the evap line, but it was easy to tell that it was in fact an evap line. If you know it's there, it's not bad. Especially since if it did show a positive I'm sure most of you ladies would take several to confirm.

Thanks for the heads up! I ordered a few, but I also made another purchase in addition (yes Hope, I did get the preseed. I meant to send you shipping $, but the box was tossed before I copied down your info. If you wouldn't mind sending me your address, I'll stick a few $ in the mail).

However, I agree with Hope. It's something to keep in mind, but if I got a positive test, I would definitely test again! Plus I need an inexpensive way to satisfy my testing needs. The last 2 cycles combined, I went through 6 tests. That's just a lot of money, but I would have gone insane if I didn't test. These tests are for people who have been trying to conceive for a while and are obsessive testers... like me :)

Jen- it was significantly cheaper than I was expecting. It turned out to be change, don't worry about shipping - I just wanted to make sure you got it.

I agree with you about the obsession is quickly becomes an addiction - this is a cheap way to satisfy that addiction. I kept good ones in my cabinet but couldn't use them until a cheapy said positive.

The Next Step

By Dirk and Trish -
After my laparoscopy in June for endo, the dr. gave us 3 months to get pregnant. Well, 3 months is up, so today we met with the specialist to decide what to do next. We were given three choices (I know many of you have been there, just wanted to give some info for newbies). Option 1 is clomid and IUI (~$650/cycle), Option 2 gonadotropins (I think it was $3000-5000/cycle), Option 3 IVF (~$14,000/cycle). The dr. recommended, and we had previously discussed, option 1. The prices are just what I was told, so they probably are not standard. I just find it helpful to have some idea what I'm up against, so thought I'd include it in case it gives someone else a baseline to work from.We missed out on timing for this cycle, so we actually have 1 more try at the old fashioned method, then we start clomid next month. Apparently the chances of a procedure working are best in the first 3 months, so we're really hoping this next step is it.

My next approach

I thought I'd share a couple of things I'm going to try next. I wish I was posting this because I had been successful with one of them, but some of them state they take up to 3 mos. so I don't want to wait until then to tell you about it, in case one of you wants to try one of these things sooner, with me! These are some things I've been researching, and gathering info about, because they are less drastic than some of the medical approaches. Other things I like about them is that they are geared towards becoming healthier-so even if you don't get pregnant, you're not out anything, and you may have gained some other benefit, like eating better. Last but not least, though there is some expense involved, I think it will still be cheaper than some of the diagnostic testing and procedures. Here are some of the things I am thinking about trying... A fertility diet: I learned about this from a co-worker. She used fertility for her first child, and it didn't work th...
