Clearblue OPK question

jchow009

I used the Clearblue digital OPK in the last two cycles and I liked it.  Easy to use.  Does anyone know if they sell the sticks only since I still have the digital piece?  I don't seem to find it in pharmacy, maybe they don't sell them.

I called their hotline.  The answer is no, they don't sell them because they says the battery will die.  If you ask me the answer is why not suck out more $ from these women.  Oh well.....figure I'll share if someone is curious.

This is ultimately why I don't bother with the digital ones anymore-- too expensive, once I realized I would be needing more than a couple months' supply of them.

Good question.  I have so many of those little digital pieces.  It's depressing.  And I can't believe how much a box costs.  Thanks for asking!

I usually try to find them on Amazon, you still have to get the whole packet though. It's not a ton cheaper but I can usually save $10 or so..

Yeah, I keep thinking this is just another way to suck out money from infertile women.  Why don't they just sell replacement batteries for those things and then they can sell extra sticks?  Oh wait, that's more money they would lose!

If it helps . . . I've bought the 20 stick pack and used it for 3 months.  It saves a lot of money and the battery lasts just fine.

This is exactly what I do.

I have gone thru 4 or 5 boxes of the digital OPK's and I am still using the FIRST digital reader from my first box.  Those batteries LAST!  It is just a money making thing for Clearblue.  And I agree, Amazon is the way to go to save a little on the cost.

Agreed, I said to the rep on the hotline that I think the battery lasts more than few months.....she was like okay.  Ugh.....annoying!  Thanks for the tip, I will buy it on Amazon and hopefully I don't need to, I am in my 2WW.  Good luck to you all.
