Ovulation testing

[poodlegirl75]

What is the best method of testing for ovulation to detect the best opportunity for pregnancy?  I know there are over the counter ovulation tests, but are they worth the money.  I am 35 and want to have my first baby, I am just looking for some advice.

I always use the CVS stor brand OPK's.  They come 20 strips in a box, so sometimes they last me for months.  You pee in a cup and dip the stick.  I see my LH surge every  month, and I've gotten pregnant twice using these.  Good luck to you.  Keep us posted.

Thanks everyone.  Great advice.

Thanks everyone I really appreciate it.  I have never tried to get pregnant, so this is all new to me.  I am grateful for any and all tips and advice.

I also am a big fan of the clear blue digital and have successfully conceived with it.  Some people find the cheapies work great..I personally didn't like them.  And again, others like the fertility monitors.  It really is a matter of personal preference and of course budget.  Good luck to you!

I liked the Clear Blue Easy electronic OPKs personally. They are pricey, but with a little practice, I became pretty good at predicting my own ovulation to be within a few days, so I was able to make a one-month supply last about 3 months or sometimes more. I just liked that there was a smiley face or there wasn't. Trying to conceive is sterssful enough as it is! Good luck :)

All I ever used was over the counter ones and they worked great.  I have 3 kids to prove it.  Lol  I used the cheap answer brand from walmart.  They have other brands but that one did fine for me.  Good luck.
