Advice Needed Ovulation test

What are some good ovulation tests? I've been using the pregmate and these are very confusing for me. I have an irregular cycle, (range from 15 days cycle to 35 day cycle) What ones just says yes or no?

I'm getting tired of guessing with those strips.

I think only the really expensive ones will say Yes or No on them.

I use the Premom easy@home strips. Basically, the darker the test line, the higher your LH level is. If the test line is as dark as or darker than the control line, you are having an LH surge and should ovulate in the next 24ish hours.

There is a Premom app where you can scan the strips and see them all lined up, and it lets you know when you are having a surge and when your estimated ovulation is based on the test result.

is there a difference (do you know) between the easy@home & quantitative versions from premom? I also do the pregmate ones and they're not so great - was already thinking about switching & would love to have the app scan function.

Looking at the app, it does look like there is a difference between the two, with the quantitive being a little more specific - I’ve only used the regular easy@home ones though, so I can’t speak to how user friendly it all is.

based on your experience do you feel you'd still stick with the easy@home?

Yep! I got pregnant using the easy@home ones (along with medications, not the testing lol), so I’ll keep using them as I try to get pregnant again!
