Anyone use or used internet cheapie OV sticks?


Few quezzies, my lovelies:

1) I need to start using mine tomorrow and it says I need to pee in a container. Can I use the same container each time?!

2) How long do you hold your pee in for?

3) Can I just pee on the stick rather than this container malarkey?

Hi trixielox when i used the cheapie ov sticks i used an old plastic cup from cupboard and just washed it out really well and kept it behind the loo where kids couldnt get it .Never held my pee for very long just made sure i didnt test with FMU as youre not supposed to test that early in the day. I know the sticks have to be dipped for a certain amount of time and if you peed directly on them there wouldnt be enough urine for the test to work.

I've used cheapie OV's before, but this month is the first time I've seen a pos. Looked up instructions on the net and they say you have to not pee for 4 hours before testing and not drink too much fluid, this is so it is concentrated enough for accurate results. Check out my journal for pics of todays ov pos results.

Good luck x

Thanks gals. Those who use a cup, do you use the same one (just clean it each time?)

You could use the same container each time aslong as you wash it out hehe
I never held my urine in for long periods of time. It's best to take them between 10am-7pm i think.
I wouldn't risk pee'ing on the stick unless they're mid-stream tests. I usually just use the foil pouch they come in and it's much easier I bet i'm the only one who does that. *embarrased* haha, oh well it saves me pee'ing in cups, and i can threw the pouch away each time!! haha

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Fertility-Plan 50 sticks for 4.99, fast delivery and they work, I know others on this site who buy from these people and one of them had a bfp before af was due.

I use an old cup and wash it out, for me its far easier than aiming, plus you arnt supposed to go above the line, my aim isnt that good.

or you could use disposible cups they are cheap enough, wash and use twice or just throw them away.
