I have just been to Asda, I went to collect a perscription, and on the counter were babystart (Focus) personal ovulation kits £1.00
I paid a lot more for my other one I brought to test my bitch, a couple of years ago. They claim: accurate, unlimited tests, use anytime, use anywhere, higienic. It is like a small lipstick, also it has a light to press to see the fern. It is the saliva test, for the hormone level. excellent buy.

Wow, do all Asdas have this I wonder?  I was thinking of experimenting with saliva testing.  Would rush out to Asda to check instantly 'cept been laid up in bed all week :-(  Hope Focus don't make them, I find their DIY stuff rubbish :-)  Oh dear, am tempted to go now ... I need something to play with.

Going to get one of these. How do you do them.

I would do a bit of research first:  will an ovulation test for a woman (which is what Asda Pharmacy will be selling) test correctly on a bitch?

I think there was a thread about this before.....

You might save £10 if it will do the same job - otherwise you've wasted it!
Treat every stressful situation as a dog would. Pee on it and walk away

Yep, bitches and women when ovulating apparently produce different salts in saliva, which is what the ferning shows.  Sadly my Asda didn't have any in for a quid, nor for more.  For the £1 it would have been worth a play!  What's more, with a lens, magnifier, light all in one I can think of tons of other uses for such a tester ...
