Dollar store hpts......

jules75 · 08-11-2005, 01:08 PM

Okay-so I am going to test soon and I was wondering the opions on Dollar store hpts-I've heard they have low hcg level detection. Is this true? Do they sell different brands and if so what is the best? I am cd27 tomorrow-I think 13dpo. My bb's have been killing me the past two days-they have never hurt this bad and I am not taking any fertility meds soooooo.....also, I have not been feeling so hot the past 5 days. I am just wondering what you all think about the dollar tree tests. I'd like to pick up more than one so of course I am trying to be cost effective. Thanks for all your help.

I have used a few from Dollar General...I think they are good for the price. I used one at 9:00pm, got a line and beta was 50 the next day. So I know they at least measure that much.

Hey Jules,
I am not sure about the $ store tests, but if you need the tests or OPKS after this cycle I buy mine online. I got 20 OPK's and like 15 HPT's for $13 with shipping. These test, test for 20 which is like one of the lowest you can test for. If you want the name of the Company email me and I can get it for you. Kickassarmybaby@yahoo.com

Good Luck and Lots of Baby Dust and Sticky Vibes that this was your month!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've bought Dollar Tree's New Choice OPKs and HPTs. The OPKs detect the surge. I trust the HPTs. I plan to continue buying them when I need to.

Well, I used an online cheapie my sis bought online and it was BFN!!! Today is cd31. I am usually between 30-32 days sooooo.....I thought for sure this was it this month. I felt so awful all weekend-like I had a hangover and my bb's hurt sooooo bad-still do but it looks like I am just having bad pms. I just hope AF shows up soon so I can maintain normal cycles. I've been know to have very long luteal phases in the past and I don't want my cycles to get out of whack again now that I am off the clomid. Oh this IF stuff is just sooooo fun!!!! I am being sarcastic can ya tell-lol!!! Thanks for all the help and well wishes-I really appreciate it!!

Oh Jules, I'm sorry! Do you know how many dpo you are today?

I hope that this really IS it and that you just tested too early... keep us posted and good luck!

Maura-

I am not sure how many dpo I am since we are doing the all natural thing. I might not have O'd until Tues or Wed (8/1 or 8/2)-if so I wouldn't be 14dpo until tomorrow or wednesday. I felt actual O type pain on those days and lots of good EWCM. The fact that AF hasn't showed yet is an indicator that I may have O'd those days instead of on cd14. Since I have a 30-34 day cycle I could still not technically be late. It seems every cycle I was getting closer to a 28 day cycle. I was 36 days, then 34 days, 32 days and last cycle I was 30 days. Now here I am at 31 days and thinking hmmmmm.....I just don't want my cycles to get all whacky again-it is sooo agonizing!!! I guess I'll test again in a couple of days if AF doesn't show. I felt like AF was going to come this morning but then the cramps and pressure went away and hasn't come back since???? My body...I swear!!!

Oh, good

... the later you can place O, the more likely it is that that HPT was a false negative

.

Don't worry about your cycles changing length ... you are still within normal range. I have roving cycles too (historically 26-36 days long) and my OB said that the only important thing is that I get my period each month; not what cd I ovulate (and therefore how long my cycles are).

Fingers crossed for you! Good luck and keep us posted+++++++++
