Ahhh … the joys of trying to conceive! For those of us who have waited a little longer before deciding to try and get pregnant, we don’t just want a baby, we want a baby NOW! Nature, however, isn’t always ready to deliver.
Enter ovulation tests. These ingenious sticks help to let you know that you will be ovulating in the next 12 – 24 hours, which can be a massive help if you have irregular cycles or even if you have no idea when you could or should be ovulating. The downside to these tattletales on nature is that they are bloody expensive. Some of the big name brands in my local drug store worked out to be over $10 a stick. That is a lot of cash to pee on while you are trying to conceive (ttc). Thankfully, about a month into ttc I discovered Save-On-Tests.
Not only do you have several different options of the tests you want to buy (strip, cassette & midstream), but you can also purchase kits, which contain groups of the ovulation tests and some pregnancy tests. Plus, they’re delivered to your door, which makes things so easy and convenient. But the kicker is definitely the price – their midstream tests (which is what you would purchase at the drug store) at their most expensive are $1.30 a stick, which is one hell of a savings and leaves more money for sexy lingerie or baby things when you succeed!

Emily is very proud to be one of the Spilt Milk Moms ‘founding mothers’ as well as being Mama to “Little Miss” (who was born in August 2009) and Wifelet to her Husbando. She spent seven years living in London which helped her to develop a keen eye for amazing products from around the world. As an actress and producer, Emily ensured her place in hell with over 3 years in children’s advertising (her job was “to create want where there is no need!”) but looks to undo the damage by finding the best things around for mamas and little ones. Emily is always ready with fresh baking, a silly song, or a glass of chardonnay and is renowned for always being overdressed and having a killer collection of heels that she’s not afraid to wear (even whilst babywearing!). You can also find her on her personal blog Aprons & Heels ~ emily (at) SpiltMilkMoms (dot) com |
