Question for the ladies ...

i was speaking with a girlfriend of mine this weekend and she told me about ovulation test sticks that i can take at home to determine the exact time of ovulation. i was planning on doing the same thing with my family doc but that meant i would have to go see him every week and the window of opportunity would be less because from what i've been

Oh you know, I was looking at those sticks on ebay when I was contemplating trying to conceive.
Never ended up bothering with them since I'm pretty in tune with my bodily changes and if you do "baby dance" a lot you're sure to have success ;-)
That's what we did and I got preggo within a couple of weeks.

it's been almost a year since we first started trying so i'm getting a little worried.

oh wow, i didn't realize you guys had been trying for thar long. you should both definitely tell your drs. about it to rule out if there are any issues.

the doc actually suggested that i come in once a week to check ovulation but i thought the sticks if they can do the same thing would probably be a better bet, that way i can do it daily instead of weekly

right. you're smart in wanting to test daily, since weekly sounds a bit hit and miss. as for buying from ebay, I guess it's worth a try. you might want to ask in msg boards for those trying to conceive. maybe you'll come across someone who has experience with those kits.
