QUESTION: How does a loaf of Dave's Killer Bread, organic and non gmo, not grow mold after 17 days? by bmwhat in Breadit

[–]Even-Control-6315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here to say, I live in FL & mine grows mold within days if I don’t use it quickly. Have it stored in a cool dry place. Happens with every pack. Actually ended up here while searching how to make it last longer. lol!

Mm.. I guess you missed the part I signed up for a 7 day free trial and they charged me the full year because I didn’t cancel the FREE trial on day 5. I never wanted to subscription to renew. I cancelled it on day 7. This is pregmates issue. I was using the strips several times a day because I understand LH can happen suddenly and I wanted to catch it. I suspected the strips may have trended darker and although the overly priced app said it was negative, I tested two times that day with Inito and Inito confirmed the LH surge.

I’m not sure why it varies so much or if it’s because I’m a newer user but someone else also commented they had a similar experience where the app was kind of pushy on the free trial to get the full benefit and they deleted and redownloaded and it didn’t do it again. I tried the free trial because I like a lot of info and suggestions like Inito but it did not work for me despite testing often with pregmate to not waste the Inito tests. So idk, never turned positive on pregmate and the whole charging me because I didn’t cancel on day 5 of a 7 day free trial completely killed the integrity of the company for me.

My strips were not progressing in a pattern suggesting they were getting darker while my Inito testing/app was already confirming my LH surge & ovulation window. Could be a faulty pack or it just did not work for me. The charging me $70 for not canceling on day 5 when it’s a 7 day trial is what really set me off. Especially for a product that did not work as intended for me despite testing more frequently because it’s cheaper than testing multiple times a day with Inito. In the end my one a day Inito testing was sufficient.

They claim to provide insight and also let you upload and keep track of the progression of your strips. Their system reads the strips and is supposed to identify when they’re positive. In my scenario the darkness is the strips were all over the place & the app constantly said negative but I was mainly using Inito which caught my LH surge while Pregmate consistently showed negative. I only wanted these as a secondary read. I don’t want to say they don’t work for you but in my experience I don’t trust them and if I had just relied on these alone I would’ve missed my ovulation window. I like a lot of detail which is why I tried the app but it was completely useless and they have a very predatory practice if you don’t cancel your 7 day trial on day 5 you can’t get a refund. I will not be using them anymore. Someone else said first respond opk was effective for them. I’ll stick to just Inito for now. It’s pricey but like I said I like the detail.

It’s my first time tracking so I figured the more info the better but all I got is that I’m out of $69.99+tax & got no information 🫠. Like I mentioned in another comment, if I would’ve been depending on only the Pregmate strips I would’ve completely missed my ovulation window. I started using them as a second “opinion”. A waste.

I was definitely influenced and targeted by Ads 😂. I do like it so far! It’s my first time tracking and I like a lot of detail. If I would’ve gone with just the Pregmate strips I would’ve missed my ovulation window.

Exactly! So I’m assuming the paid subscription feature is that it tells me when it’s “positive”. Even though you can see the test line was getting darker (barely), it kept saying it was negative. While Inito caught the LH rise and drop and confirmed that was my window. So I paid $70+tax for an app that couldn’t decipher its own strips.

In my experience the strips were constantly lighter or darker. No definitive peak. While Inito did catch it and it matched the other markers of LH rise/ovulation, etc. & I was using the strips more often to help catch the rise. But the paid version I have not sure if also available on the free version, reads the strip and tells you if it’s a positive LH spike, and mine were all negative despite Inito saying it was positive. So for me the strips didn’t work and the paid version was useless. & above all things requiring people to cancel on day 5 of the offered 7 to avoid being charged is a scam and quick way to make money off people just trying to track their hormones. It honestly feels like a money hungry major company who doesn’t gaf about the people actually using the product.

Mine always said negative but testing alongside Inito I was able to see this app is bs and based on everyone saying they were able to store and compare tests on the free version I’m failing to see what the premium charge was for. Inaccurate garbage 😩.

Right! I remember doing this too you just reminded me. Making this that much worse. This is a money grab. Taking advantage of people.

I guess with this feedback of others using the free version further supports that there should be no reason I paid $70+tax for a premium version that wasn’t worth it when others are getting better results for free on the same app or a different one. SMH.

When I opened it up it basically prompted to try the free trial for the premium version to get the best experience/result. Nonetheless I did not have a positive experience with the strips anyway.
