Dollar store OPKs?

[Tonka106]

I'm on cycle 3 of NTNP and if I don't get my BFP this month I'm going to switch to TTC and start by using OPKs! I was wondering if anyone has used dollar store OPKs? The brand they sell here (at Dollarama) is called Pro-Care. Has anyone used these or other similar cheap OPKs and what was your experience with them?

Didnt wanna read and run! Ive only been using OPKs for 2 months but my first cycle i used clear blue and they were pricey but awesome! because then you dont have any doubts on "is the line dark enough" "did i do it right?" ect. this month i bought first response and theyre the ones with the two lines and its really a pain because there are so many factors.
Are the ones you got digital? just the strips? or the ones that look like preggo tests?

They look like pregnancy tests, I haven't bought them yet but I'll try them if I don't get a BFP this month.

The ones at the dollar store here come with a syring and you have to drop like 5 drops of urine on the strip to get results. I've used them a couple times. I know a bunch of friends that found out they were pregnant with the dollar store ones. I think it just depends on you and your body. I don't think they will be ones to rely on to find out before your missed period or even a few days after. They'd probably work best a week after. I was at the hopsital pharmacy the other day and was looking at the pregnancy test there while I waited and a nurse walked by and told me to go to to the dollar store..haha.

Yeah I know the pregnancy tests work, although not very sensitive, a friend used one. But I'm wondering about the OPKs.

OHHHH!! I'm sorry. Dont' mind my post then! lol. I didn't know dollar store had opk's..

I dont know much about that specific brand, what i would do is to just go online and look up reviews before you buy them. If you get find bad reviews i would just go with clear blue. Theyre more expensive but totally worth it in my opinion! NO GUESSING! Kept me pretty sane! Goodluck!!

Well, hopefully I won't need them if I get my BFP in a week

GL!!
I was going to tell you, I got my OPK's online for .90 each. Plus the more you buy the cheaper they are!! I think if you spent over $14 it's free shipping. So it's cheaper then the dollar store, and you know that a lot of women have used these kind and work. Where as the dollar store ones your not sure about.

I just bought 50 opks and i think 20 or 30pg tests (as a set) off of amazon yesterday for $12 I think... you needed to spend $25 to get free shipping so I just added a movie I have been wanting to get anyway!
