Refill test sticks for the CBE digital OPK?

Last month I bought the Clearblue Easy OPK. It's the one that gives you a smiley face if positive. So it was like $30 and it came with the tester and like 7 or 8 test strips that you insert into the tester. Obviously I used all the test strips, but I still have the main tester part. Do they sell just the refill strips for it so that I don't to spend another $30 on a whole new kit? It seems silly to have a tester that I can't use. All I need is the test strips to insert into it.

I have looked at Target and the grocery store but haven't found anything. Does anyone know if they sell refill test strips, or do I have to throw away the tester and start over with a new kit?

Thanks!

    Nope you have to just buy the whole thing over again. Sad 

    I really like the first response two line tests.  They are really easy to read (+ are really clear) and you get 20 for what you pay for the CBE digitals.  Or I have bought the internet cheapies and then when I think it is positive because I have trouble telling with those and I follow it up with the smiley face ones to confirm.

    Nope.  You're actually wrong.  You can buy the sticks that are used for the fertility monitor.  Lots of girls here have tested them and they work just fine.

    Yeah, I was so pissed when I found out those OPKs didn't have refills (they are SO expensive), that I went out of my way to find if anything else would work.  After all that fuss, I just used internet cheapies.  I got good at reading them.
