all i can think about is babies.

Clearblue Digitals !! i swear by them! got pregnant twice within the first month of using them - no guessing - smiley face for O - Circle for no O

Ebay sells them for £10 and someone is selling out of date ones for like £5 i used out of date ones for this pregnancy and they work fine!

the item number on ebay uk is 320878611416 just copy and paste this into the search bar on ebay and they will come up

GOOD LUCK!!!!!

I wouldnt be pregnant now without them.

They are the best thing no lines to interpret or anything.

and for a £5 u cant really grumble - i never got positives with the cheapies just shows u x

I've never been successful with catching my LH surge using OPKs. Probably because I have irregular cycles. I hate them.

BBT charting is a better way but there's a chance you can miss O day. UGH! I HATE IRREGULAR CYCLES AND I HATE YAZ (BC)! I wish I'd NEVER used the pill, ever.

I agree on the clearblue digitals being great. I have used them the past few months , I am the opposite of you all I love the OPKs because when I get my surge the test line is so dark its not even questionable and I continue getting positives for a few days after.

silmarien · Apr 14th, 2012, 00:41 AM

Wish I could use clearbluedigital but I can't afford them.

lauren1991 · Apr 14th, 2012, 02:28 AM

Girls eBay is the cheapest place to get them they are half the price on there than in shops!!!

I have. 2 unopened packs of 7 and about 20 loose sticks - I stocked up but now I'm pregnant

I'm holding onto them till 13 weeks then putting them on eBay as I only want one child just now (we couldn't afford 2)

Also I found conceive plus lube a massive help this month as I had o pains and pretty sure I had sex after o

Good luck girls

Conception is a miracle and sometimes u have got to wait on a miracle x

mel102 · Apr 14th, 2012, 06:02 AM

hey silmarien i no how you feel my cycle are all over the place since bcp i will not be going on it ever again!! My last cycle lasted 37 days and am now on cycle day 20 with still no sign of ovulating so looks like another long one for me.

sammy1205 · Apr 14th, 2012, 16:04 PM

I use the cheapies, pee in a cup, if it looks close, then I back up with a digi. It helps cut the cost and give me the right answer.
I NEVER had gotten a true + on the strip OPKs on any brand, but get them on the digis.
