Pregmate 100 Ovulation Test Strips with Numerical LH Result Quantitative Predictor Kit (100 Count)

I started my natural family planning journey a little over a year ago after determining that I needed a break from hormonal birth control (and my husband and I were in a position where we would be happy even if we failed at it). Over the course of the year I took LOTS of Pregmate’s ovulation (and pregnancy) tests.As far as usage goes, they’re pretty straightforward. Dip, wait, and see. Through my use of them, I did find myself dipping it longer than the instructed time (about 10s or until I saw the ink start to move). I think out of the nearly 200 tests I took, only one may have been faulty (the test didn’t process, though it’s possible I didn’t keep it dipping for long enough).I’ll admit, while the tests do work, they are a bit hard to read and judge for myself (at least individually day to day) even with the provided guide book. As such I used the tests in conjunction with the Premom app which allowed me to scan the ovulation tests. The app then would review the image and generate a number relative to the strength of the lines. Through the use of both, I was able to confidently learn my cycle, and transition to trying. I can now happily say I’m 28 weeks along, and will certainly start using Pregmate again in a few months.

I've been using ovulation test strips for 20 years and these are the best value I've found! They work well, they're accurate, and easy to read. Best price compared to other brands I've used.

Love these! Easy to use and read and so much cheaper than getting ovulation test sticks. The results pop up almost immediately and I have compared them to more expensive tests - and the results always are in line with what other tests read. I would recommend it.The quantitative feature is especially helpful as there will always be a second line unless you are just super hydrated. I've always found ovulation tests hard to read/interpret for this reason, so having that feature (and the guidebook they give you to help interpret results is awesome) is really, really helpful when TTC.

Instructions are also clear

Easy to use, includes a chart for interpreting and recording results which is nice.

UPDATE: these are completely useless. First couple of issues I thought might be a quality control issue given it’s a pack of 100, but over a week in, I’ve had 9/10 of these strips be completely useless. Dye stops in the middle of the strip, runs toward top and bottom edges, or just doesn’t even come close to creating a strong line—control or otherwise. How could anyone possible predict ovulation with these?? 100% returning.Original: I’d been using a different brand for a few months but ordered these because I could use my FSA funds for it. I dipped both of these sticks in the same sample for the same amount of time this morning. The Pregmate control line is so faint. The test line is about the same on both tests, but the faintness of the control makes it harder for me to read the difference to determine the LH level. The other brand has a much more defined contrast which makes reading it easier. Just questioning the quality of these over the others given the spotty control line.

Pregmate ovulation strips work well for me. They are sensitive enough to be used in medical IVF diagnosis, so this gives me confidence that it is adding a high degree of usefulness to my determining the Luteal hormone surge in my body. Pregmate pregnancy test strips helped me monitor the slowly lowering pregnancy hormone as i recovered from surgery due to an ectopic pregnancy. watching the 'positive' slowly get fainter and fainter was heartbreaking, but it also made me know that i was safe and that the operation had worked. I am glad pregmate is so sensitive because it really gives us a window into our hormonal systems!

These are super easy to use but sometimes they give invalid results where the test line doesn’t fully darken or only half the line shows up. If you aren’t trying for pregnancy and are just starting to track these are perfect for you.
