babi One Step Ovulation (LH) Test Strips, 100-Count

Cost effective, easy to use and accurate. Literally saved my sex life. You have to look at the color intensity to get an accurate reading though. Do make sure you look at the color intensity. I'm using this product mainly, combined with the thermometer method and "my calendar" period tracker app to track my fertile days. I've used many types of birth control including birth contol pills, condoms, spermicide sheet, spermicide foam, sponge, and withdrawal. Birth control pills of different brands messed with my hormones so bad at one point my female parts were mimicing menopause (dry, wilted, shrunk, too painful for sex) I'm allergic to spermicide and it made me burning itch, gave me frequent UTI, and messed with my normal flora. The worse one was the sponge. Used it once and it jammed up on the side of my uterus. Couldn't get it out by myself. My fiance had to do it and it took him about 10 minutes to get a hold of it while I'm crying, thinking I had to go to the ER. Finally he was able to pull it out in pieces. So after discovering this product I used it everday sometimes a few times a day until I see the change in color intensity. I record that in my app and it would tell me the fertile period, which is about 4 days before ovulation, 2 days of ovulation and 1 day after ovulation. I'd confirm my ovulation with the basal thermometer. The app also predicts your next fertile time which is very useful. I usually start using this product 4 to 5 days before the predicted dates in case of an error and to compare color intensity. During the fertile days I would avoid sex. Been working great and it's natural, no hormones, no chemicals to deal with, and cost effective. Love it. Wish I knew this product existed earlier. Will definitely buy again.

I tried the Wondfos first but ran out without getting a positive, so I tried these. I realized that I was testing wrong time of day after 2 mos on the Wondfos when I ran out. The LH hormone peaks during the day ( waking hours) from what I read, so you are not supposed to test first thing like you would with a pregnancy test. So this is my first month of testing with the Babis and I got a positive finally! The pos I got today around 3:30pm. I have been testing mostly around 2pm and again in the evening like 7-9pm depending on my day. I like these better than the Wondfos because the lines are very crisp, and they are cheaper. I was beginning to get frustrated because I never got a dark test line, but it is pretty obvious that I finally did get a positive result. That test line is clearly as dark as the control line. Today is my cycle day 21. My cycles run from 28-35 days, so I have been testing 2x a day from day 12 through day 24 to make sure I catch it since it can vary for me from month to month. Here's a tip for ladies who work like I do. I pack a little paper cup and a strip in my purse each morning for the day I'm going to test. Around 2pm I put the cup and strip in my pocket (or you could just bring your whole purse into the bathroom obviously). I pee in the cup, dip the strip for the 10 seconds, then lay it flat on the wrapper. Finish up in the bathroom, throw away the cup, and then I put the peed-on strip back into the foil wrapper and put it in my pocket. I go back to my desk and put the strip into my desk drawer. I peek at it after 10mins (or more) to read the result. This has worked out well, as opposed to staying in the bathroom the whole time with co-workers wondering what is going on in there. So if you sit at a desk and your co-workers aren't super nosy, give this method a try!

These tests did NOT work for me at all. Right after I purchased these tests, I saw a woman in my TTC group post a link to these tests saying that she had gotten a bad batch. This made me a little nervous as I had just purchased a total of 200 of these tests (almost $40), but I decided to keep them and use them anyway. I used these tests for three months, starting on CD 6 until the day my period started each month, and not once did they show positive, even though my BBT and my cervical mucous showed that I was in fact ovulating. They barely showed a test line at all. At first I assumed that I was just drinking too much water, so I cut back on my water intake significantly. In fact, I wouldn't drink a drop of anything during the 4 hours before I tested every day. No change. Then I started testing twice a day (at 12 PM and at 4 PM) just to make sure I wasn't missing my surge. The test lines never changed; they never darkened. They just stayed extremely faint. I finally decided to buy the ClearBlue digital tests, and a friend gave me her leftover Clinical Guard tests because she had just found out that she was pregnant (so I knew they worked). I decided to take all three brands at the same times each day to see if I just wasn't ovulating or if the Babi tests were faulty. As I came closer to my predicted ovulation date, the Clinical Guard tests became darker while the Babi tests stayed super faint. On the day of ovulation, my Clear Blue digital and the Clinical Guard tests became positive, while the Babi strips stayed faint. They never changed. So, I finally threw them in the trash. It was very disappointing because that was a waste of $40. I will not be buying theses tests again, nor will I recommend these to a friend.

Just had a tubal reversal and am beginning TTC so these are one of my first purchases and I'm glad I did. Very simple to use and so cheap that u can test several times a day so you don't miss. I only used one month so far and I used a total of 10 strips, so that should give me plenty and praying it doesn't take that long. I tested positive for a 48 hour period. I started testing about a week before I expected to be O, twice daily. My cycles are very regular and I am one that does O on day 14. Just glad I bought these to confirm. Buy these you'll be glad u did!

Having ZERO experience with any sort of ovulation testing I was nervous about the accuracy and effectiveness of these guys. However, I just couldn't bring myself to spend such an unbelievable amount of money on CBED (or similar) systems when these were so cheap and well recieved.A. Peeing in a cup is not THAT much more trouble than peeing on a stick (also, it was a good daily visual of where my hydration was at every day).B. I found these to be very accurate and easy to read. I kept looking for the subtle change, worried I'd miss a surge but trust me, once it's there, it is impossible to miss.C. THESE ARE SO CHEAP! I can't imagine why you would want to spend more.
