yup It honestly depends on the brand and on the woman. Some women just don't produce a whole lot of LH (the hormone that the test looks for) and never get a positive ovulation test result. Sometimes the brand makes a difference because it's just not sensitive enough. I recently read an article on this.. let me see if I can find it.. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/01/27/earlyshow/health/main538075.shtml there it is, it will help you choose a brand to use. ~pawsalmighty The generic brand from Target has worked very well for me. The Clear Blue easy test would fail at a rate of 1 test per box of 7 tests.

They are fairly reliable, and a good start if you're interested in concieving. Compared to infertility treatments (like Artificial Insemination at $8,000 to $10,000 per attempt) they are exceedingly cheap. All you really need to start is a thermometer. You can use an ordinary one or get a special fertility thermometer which will make it easier to read the small changes. I used one for two months after coming off the pill to make sure I was ovulating and work out my cycle, then 3 months later when we started trying I got pregnant immediately. If you find you are not ovulating you need to see a doctor immediately as you will not get pregnant. If you are ovulating and not getting pregnant get your partner's sperm count done. 33% of infertility is down to the man.
