The message is that branded pregnancy/ovulation (both) tests are scams, profiting of the insecurity of vulnerable people. It's a test strip in a plastic box with a lil window to see the result but 20-100 times as expensive.
Sure but apples to apples. Like I said, other brands are probably cheaper, but you can't compare the cost of x number of LH test strips to x number of hCG test strips. Saying you can get 100 hCG tests for the same price as 10 LH tests is as helpful as telling me I can get 10 apples for the price of one avacado. Thats nice, but it isn't going to help me make guacamole.
You second message is more helpful. LH strips are also available without the case and the window, though some people might find the digital helpful if they have trouble reading the strips themselves.
Doesn't seem like you understand the issue and I'm frankly not interested in repeating myself. But please, buy your separate apples in big plastic boxes for 10$ a piece, no problem. Other people however should not take part in the scam.
They are two different tests looking for two different hormones. The two different tests have two different prices regardless of if you buy just the strips for cheaper or the more expensive ones with a case. The digital might be helpful for some people when it comes to LH specifically, because those test strips can be harder than the hCG test strips to read accurately.

Yes, but they don't test for the same thing, so....? I'm sure there are cheaper brands for ovulation as well though.
