Just thought I’d share this photo as I thought it was crazy the difference between the two! The thicker one is the Boots test. I’m going to keep comparing over the next few days (assuming I didn’t miss the surge...!)

Ps. As you can tell, I haven’t completely given up trying...

That is interesting. am in the process of testing at mo too. Think missed it but a scan said I had not but nothing showing at mo. Driving me bonkers 😬. Good luck with it. Looks like u close☺️

Invest in the Boots strips but it does mean that you can’t test 5 times a day because you’d be bankrupt!! 😂 Good luck to you too xxx

I do use the cheap strips but when searching on amazon I put “wide” ovulation strips and it brings up the wide ones for just pennies more. They seem to work better than the the thin ones. Xx

Oh that’s interesting! Maybe next month I’ll try those, thanks for the advice. The Boots ones are £5 for 5!! 😳 xxx

I can’t help with the answer, I use clearblue digital ovulation tests with ⭕️ or 😀 for a Lh surge! They are by far the easiest tests to use!!! ( I know they are expensive) Also recommend testing twice a day between 10am-8pm.

Hope you get the Lh surge soon xoxo

Thank you 😊 Perhaps if I stopped spending a small fortune on supplements I would be happier to spend more on ovulation tests... I am slowly kicking the supplement habit though... slowly! Xxx
