Frustrating to Use
I use iProven’s bbt thermometer which I really like, so I figured I’d give their strips a try. I’m kicking myself for not getting the strips I used for my previous cycle because they worked A LOT better than these!<br /><br />When the five minute window is up, there’s not even a clearly visible result. The control line is still really faint and you can see the dye hasn’t even settled yet. If you wait 7-10 minutes, the lines are a lot easier to see but then you have the problem of wondering if it’s even accurate since you had to wait until outside the five minute window. This isn’t even the only problem with these tests.<br /><br />With the same urine sample, I used three different strips and they all ended up with different darknesses and didn’t finish developing at the same rate. After 5 minutes, only one of them had readable results, the other two took more like 10 minutes. So I guess it’s safe to say these tests aren’t accurate quantitative-wise.<br /><br />If you want an easier time tracking ovulation, I’ve found that Choicemmed ovulation strips have been the most reliable and are also really affordable. I’ve also heard from a lot of people that easy@home strips work great too. Just don’t use these, you’ll be ripping your hair out.
