Ovulation Test Strips

I really don't have the money to spring for an expensive OPK any time in the near future.  I was just wondering if anyone uses the test strips from early-pregnancy-tests or any similar sites?  They are a lot cheaper, obviously, and I'm just wondering if I should try using them.  I haven't been paying much attention to when I O because me and my bf bd very regularly anyway.  Now I'm just at a point where I want to make sure I actually AM O'ing.  If you have suggestions on tests that are cheap/affordable, please let me know!  Thanks :o)

you can buy really cheap ones on ebay.
you can check you are ovulating better by charting though as it's possible to have an LH surge (causes the egg to release and is detected by the opk) but not actually ovulate. Only charting will show the raise on temperature caused by progesterone production after ovulation. you will also see by charting if you have a normal luteal phase.

I checked a few sites, sav-on-tests.com came out to around 30 cents ea.

Alright, I ordered 50 of them, lol!!  Hopefully they'll work for me.  I'm almost positive I'm o'ing each month but I just wanna make sure so I'm not wasting my time.
