Ovulation Tests : If you are trying to conceive and are looking for some guidance as to when you are ovulating, I would suggest picking up some ovulation tests. I purchased my tests from Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com (ordered through Amazon), where the tests were much cheaper than those found at your local drugstore. Although we got pregnant without the use of ovulation tests, they can be a useful tool, especially if your periods are irregular. For three months prior to getting pregnant, I would see a surge indicating ovulation was happening. Why I failed to see a surge when we actually conceived is beyond me.
Pregnancy Tests : Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com also sells pregnancy tests for under $1/each, but if you are in a pinch, run to your local Dollar Tree. Their pregnancy tests are just as accurate as most other tests you will find at your drugstore. With the cheaper tests you will need to take a cup with you to the loo, but in all honestly, peeing in a cup is your easiest option.
