how many tests per month?

[myk]

for those of you who are obsessively peeing on OPK and PG test sticks, how many of each do you use in an average month? i'm going to be placing an order soon, and i don't want to fall short, but i also don't want to spend unnecessary money. i'm thinking i'd like 2 months worth.. but what does that even mean?

[MaerynPearl]

for me... I easily went through 20 OPKs in a month... and I have very regular cycles.

I got 50 HPTs... but got pregnant the month I bought them (this is only counting the cheapies I bought online and not the FRERs and digitals I bought at the store that month)

I only actually have 4 or 5 left in my closet. I just LOVED being able to test every time I peed even after I got my BFP!

I use 4 to 10, sometimes a few more OPK's a month, and I generally don't use more than 3 pregnancy tests per month (I have a short-ish LP)

There are a couple of sellers on amazon that have a 40 opk and 10 hpt for 11.92 and free shipping...

I think 10 pg tests a month would be good - and that's probably on the low side compared to some POAS addicts. But I could restrain myself and start testing at 8 dpo - only once a day until the last few days when I'd test twice a day...

Hmmmmm Im not a big POASer on HPT so I only use a hand full as I dont start testing til the day before AF is due! ...
But I am a love using OPKS so Last month I went through about 40 and this month about 20

i think about 10 of each

Last time I ttc, it took 3 months. So based on that, I bought what I thought would be 3-5 months worth depending on how obsessive I get. I got 30 of each. My cycles are really, really short though. While I've had the IUD my periods have been pretty long, but I'm not sure how that will play out when I get it taken out.

Probably about 7-10 OPK's per month and maybe 5 pg tests (unless they give me shadowy lines or evaps, and then I've been known to buy every brand that the drug store carries and save my FMU in a cup. )

Ummmm....

Preg tests there is no number. If I had 5, I'd take 5. If I had 10, I'd take 10. It is that bad. I tend to think I max out around 15, though.

A few months back i bought a 50 pack of hpts from baby creations i did the option of them all just in a little ziplock baggy. I still have probably like 10 if not more still.

I dont use opks anymore they seem like a waste for me

whew, i thought i was the only one who was an obsessive POASer. i think i'll pick up the 20opk/5pg pack and an extra 10 pg test sticks. that should cover me.. for now
