Giving away OPK's

taylorjeanne84 · January 2014

Shortly before getting my BFP, I ordered a pack of Ovulation Predictors from Amazon. I have about 60 of them. I really don't want to throw them away (this is definitely our last baby) but I don't want to offend anyone by offering them for free on my local mom's FB group. I know TTC is a sensitive topic and I just don't want to come across as tacky. Does that make sense? Maybe I'm reading too much into it... Thoughts?

I feel ya. I bought opks before I knew I was pregnant. Now they are just sitting in a drawer. No advice, but in the same boat.

I'm there with you. I just have ten but still hate them to waste. I thought I might offer it to my local mom group free but have them pm me for privacy.

I don't think it's tacky. I was on Craigslist today and someone had a Summer's Eve Douche on there, a FB group is a little more personal so I'd definitely think that was way more appropriate than something like that on Craigslist. Maybe as the previous person said, having them pm you would be better if they want to be a little more private about it.

Not tacky! I'd be stoked to get freebies!

Post it on TTGP. Someone will take them in a heartbeat. I got someone's a couple years ago. It was awesome!

TTGP, or the TTTC board, but I think I'd PM the mod there to ask how it should be handled, it's a little sensitive.

If you are offering them on TTGP make sure you are giving them for free. It's not a place to sell these types of things. I agree about pm'ing a mod to see how it should maybe be worded. Especially if you weren't on TTGP before.

Thanks ladies. I definitely would never charge for them. Thanks for the words of wisdom!

I don't see a problem offering them on your FB group if you just ask that they PM you if they're interested.

I have sooo many also. I accidentally bought two packs of OPKs before my BFP came. I'd love to donate them to someone who can use them. Do you typically ask someone (like on TTGP for example) to pay for shipping costs? Is it weird to put them on eBay? Any other ideas? Nobody I know is actively trying (or at least that they've told me) & I hate for these OPKs to go to waste.
