Preg/OPK tests from UK? Opinions please
Has anybody looked purchased preg/OPK tests from the UK?
On ebay I came across 50 tests for 17.99 with free shipping. Buyer gets to choose the combination of # of OPKs and # of pregnancy tests. The seller is a power seller with 99.9% positive reviews. Supposedly, the tests meet FDA standards.
I want to remain optimistic for this month, so I'm not buying anything yet to aid in conceiving. However, if I get a BFN, I'd want to try OPKs for next month and I probably won't get these in time if I wait to order. At the same time, I want to make sure whatever OPKs i'm using are effective.
Do you think this is a waste of my time and money?
TIA!

if you are going to do it - make sure they get you some kind of info on the expiration date!
you don't want to sink that kind of money and find out they all expire next month.

See I didn't think of that...I checked and it said they expire at least one year from now, but no more than 2 years from now b/c thats the legal maximum.

I love eBay and shop all the time. At 99.9 powerseller- I don't think you will have a problem.

Good point! and actually, if she's in the UK, it's not Euros it's British pounds (sterling) so 17.99 in pounds would be about $40.00

Definitely double check that... if it's UK it's on the pound... and that'll EASILY double your price!
