I like the FR preg tests but no luck with the ovulation tests :(

published

If I could give a zero star I would. I used these tests everyday for 1 week as directed, the week prior to my scheduled ovulation. The line that was supposed to show darker than the other to show surge never showed darker, ie indicated I wasn’t ovulating. I’m now pregnant so obviously I did ovulate. Waste of money. I am a big fan of first response pregnancy test but these ovulation tests I’ve had no luck with

Purchased in March 2021 for A$20.00.

The worst I have tried

published

It's an easy to use product with good instructions but every test strip came out faint. So if the control line is light how do you detect your LH accurately? I don't trust it and Ovuplan or Ebay cheap tests work far better.

One of the worst ones i tested

published

I tried other brands of ovulation test strips as well as these which i tried to list by name (for you guys) in my review but whoever reviewed my review for publishing didn't allow me to list the others i tested. So check my reviews and you will find the one which worked the very best. Had i just relied on first response ovulation test strips i would have missed ovulation and not fallen pregnant. The other brand of test strips which i don't seem to be able to name here (i bought online) had me fall pregnant the very first month i used them and i'm 46 years old. So i don't have time to waste on test strips that don't work!!! I do however find the first response pregnancy tests to be the best of three brands i tested.

First 2 great. Faulty third packet

published

just opened my 3rd packet, to find that all the tests are folded in half & bent because the cup has been shoved in. just tried the first test & found the fluid didn’t travel the length of the test rendering it useless. Assuming the remaining tests are useless.Feel like I’ve just wasted $22 and missing this months positive result.

Inaccurate Results

I had more than 10 days of the test line being much darker than the control line, however my CM was dry. I found out later that my ovulation was a week late as at the time, my CM showed I was fertile and my period was a week late, so the tests were coming back as fertile earlier on when I was not, completely missing the ovulation window! Listen to your body and not rely on these sticks!

did not work

I bought this when i stopped taking the pill. Obviously i know it can take a few months to ovulate after stopping the pill but i still tried this product anyway.
After using it for a month i came up with negative every day for ovulating.
Today (6 days late) i decided i might as well take a pregnancy test just in case something was going on; and it turns out i am pregnant :) i took two different pregnancy tests both from different brands and both were positive. I have a doctors appointment to confirm but with my symptoms i am pretty certain its a positive.
i dont know why it said i didnt ovulate at all but i guess im happy with my end result anyway.

Inaccurate results

published

I used the First Response Pregnancy Planning Kit correctly for three months. In the first two months, the only result was a faint test line once during each of the seven days. In the third month, there was no test line at all. Assuming I wasn't ovulating (despite other signs of ovulation), I had a CD21 blood test (which measured oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, LH, etc.). The test results indicated that I had definitely ovulated during the month that the First Response OPK strips had failed to predict ovulation. My GP has advised against using OPKs again.

false positive pregnancy test..

published

Okay so you get an early pregnancy test in the kit. I done mine and to my surprise a positive. Brought a box 3 first response test and all negative. Its so sucky that I got a false positive from a kit that helps to track and helps to conceive. .obviously you want a positive if your using an opk

It works!

published

Considering my menstural cycles are like clockwork, this kit proved that I was at least three days out on predicting my ovulation. Bought one packet, used it according to the leaflet, and fell pregnant!
I recommend doing the test strips in the morning (try to do it the same time each morning). Always wait the full 5 minutes before checking the strips (I used the timer on my phone). And if you're using your phone in the bathroom too, take a photo of each strip on the 5 minute mark. That way you can compare the colour of the previous strips (the darker the better).
Good luck baby-making!!
It does wat it says!
Expensive for what it is.

Great! Really useful tool

published

I got the best results when I used in the afternoon. Usually after 2 pm. A bit hard if you are working, might be a bit much to carry the pee cup in your handbag and test during your afternoon break. But early evening is good too. If you test in the morning, chances are you will get a negative result, even if you are ovulating. So timing is very important.

Excellent

published

I used this when planning my pregnancy and wish I had tried it sooner. I fell pregnant the first month I used it as I knew exactly which days were my most fertile. Having the pregnancy testers in the same kit was very convenient. I will definitely use this product again next time around.
Easy to follow instructions & quick/ easy to read results. Value for money & in my opinion a very accurate product.
Nothing. As long as you calculate which are the best few days to test on, you won't run out of supplies too quickly (I only needed to use half the kit so I had another month's worth left).

I got a positive on the 18th at around 3:30pm it was the first time i tried it and it was a positive straight away, i had intercourse on the 19th, does anyone know when i probably ovulated after that positive? I had a positive on the 18th but then a negative a day after, is that how its meant to be.

I have no clue what to do can I find out if I'm pregnant by using the ovulation prediction tests?

Some people say that if the line stays dark continuously for more than 3 days you could be pregnant. But this opk is best to be used to detect when you have ovulated. I wouldn't use this as a pregnancy test, use a proper one
