Share with you - Ovulation Predictor Strips (OPKS)

To all ladies who are trying to conceive,

I have been trying to conceive for a few months now and heard that the OPKS (Ovulation predictor kit/ strips) really work. So I went to purchase one from local Mannings and they are quite expensive. It's $266 HKD for 5 days, so about $55 per each strip.

Then I found this place on the internet and got 50 strips from there for only $8 each!!! (including international shipping and they are willing to ship from North America to HK). And it took them less than one week to ship to me. Packing was just like a friend's package so the confidentiality issue was handled very well if you mind. If you know someone who lives in North America that can bring them to you (not sure Canada or USA, you need to check), you can get them for about $3 HKD each!

Details:
www.saveontests.com

I just want to share with you this good site for those of you who wish to try with these strips.

Good Luck to you all and to myself too. =)

At Watsons and Mannings here in Guangzhou, they have a brand name called DAVID's Ovulation kit and sell for RMB28/testing kit

Have not tried it personally as intructions are all in Chinese

have seen and bought DAVID's in HK, bought it at a pharmacy in SHeung Wan at about $5 per strip - works like any ovulation kit I have used before and don't notice a difference in accuracy. Lots of TCM doctors recommend this brand though.

Can't remember the name of the pharmacy - its actually a TCM shop on Wing Lok Street in Sheung Wan, near the MTR exit.

I think when I get off the MTR Wing Lok Street exit ( there should be a Maxim's cake shop and a Convenient store inside the MTR at that exit) , you would turn left and it should be the first TCM shop on the same side of the street) selling herbal medicine and also other drugs. its pretty large and is normally quite busy ( and its got that musty chinese medicine smell)

I was seeing a well known TCM doctor who recommended me to get the strips there.
