ovulation occurs, charting all the fertility signs can be as accurate, or more accurate, and saves you money.
Another interesting thing about OPKs is that they can be substituted for home pregnancy tests. While this has not been proven, to my knowledge, I do have a friend who tried this
and it indeed worked. It seems the hormones produced in pregnancy are similar to the luetenizing hormone - at least it prompted a positive OPK test result. When I had the chemical pregnancy in August 1999, I tried this with an OPK and had a positive result the same day I had a positive pregnancy test. I suppose in this respect OPKs are cheaper than home pregnancy tests, in that you receive at least 5 tests. There are also ovulation predictor monitors, also known as fertility monitors, which can be used indefinitely. They predict and detect luetenizing hormone and rising estrogen.
From my understanding, they cost anywhere from about $179 to $300 and you have to buy test strips every month - which costs varies - the one I saw was 30 strips for $50.
