Where do you buy your OPK's and HPT's?

Mrs. K in TX

We're just starting to get serious about TTC, and I'd like to know where I can get the best deals.

Also, which basal thermometer do you use?

I'm going to buy the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility," and I'm sure it'll have a lot of great info, but do y'all have any advice?

Our first pregnancy (the m/c) was not planned but not prevented, so all the tracking is new to me.

BTW- I have PCOS, so I don't have regular cycles, either.  I wonder if I'll find a pattern while tracking?

OPK's i get from walmart (answer brand) or the PX, also there are cheapies online. 

HPT's i get from the dollar tree.  i am def thrifty so i like to get good deals.

I got my thermometer at Target.  Make sure you get an actual BBT though.  It needs to have the extra degree so that you can see a clear shift. 

Read TCOYF.... it explains everything about charting.  I used fertilityfriend.com to chart my temps.  It is VERY easy to use.

I've started ordering everything online.  If you go to amazon.com, you can find bundles of 20 OPK's with 5 HPT's for under $5.  They seem to work ok for me.

I bought my BBT at CVS. and I only use Clearblue digital OPKs and HPTs which I find the cheapest at Target.

I've gotten OPK's from dollar stores, amazon.com, walmart, target, cvs.  Everywhere has them, it just I guess finding hte best price for your budget.  That is why I like the dollar store ones, the only bummer is they are only 1 per pack, so I walk out of there with a whole stack of them! HPT, I get online also, or any store! I love the digital ones! Good luck to you!

I bought my OPKs and HPTs at Target or Walmart. Initially, I only used Target brand OPKs, but this cycle, I used only ClearBlue Easy OPKs. While seeing the empty circle kind of sucked, seeing the smiley face rocked!! I read TCYOF and it is a great resource. While a lot of the ladies on here use Fertility Friend for charting, I use the software that came with TCYOF. The book comes with a CD that has a 15 day trial, but then I purchased the full version. I find it very easy to use and it matches up with the book well. As for BBTs, I ordered the BD brand basal digital thermometer from amazon.com. It has a lighted display and a one temp memory. My first BBT was from CVS; it was ok-but no lighted display, no memory. (Sorry no formatting...bumping from blackberry!)

I buy my OPK's on ebay and HPT's at Dollar Tree.  I have a regular digital  thermometer, but I take my temps orally.

I use OPKs from www.early-pregnancy-tests.com, but their HPT only ever gave me the faintest of lines, so I bought FRERs at a local store for that.  I have also heard good things about OPKs from www.saveontests.com.

I love TCOYF.  I learned so much about my cycle and how my bodies work; it is a wonderful resource.  I have used both their software and FF and liked them both for different reasons.
