OPK Help

[MHP8982]

Ok, so this is our first month trying. I tried a couple of years ago and used these tests I bought off of babyhopes I believe. I never really got to use them, because a lot of stuff happened and I wasn't trying anymore. But anyway, my husband and I have started trying.. and I bought these cheap OPK's off of amazon.. thinking they would be the same.. but they are actually a lot smaller than the ones I had before. I'm not sure how accurate they are. So I'm just looking on some advice on which ones are the best for the best value? I started taking them on like CD 9 and they are up and down, sometimes they are really light, they get darker, then lighter, then darker, but I haven't seen them get as dark or darker than the control line. However I have had the symptoms of ovulation, like the EWCM and everything. Do you think it's possible I ovulated still? Maybe what was positive on those cheap things wasn't as dark as, I'm not sure. I'm still taking them just to see.

So, I'm curious which ones I should buy.. has anyone else tried the ones on babyhopes? Do they work well? Any advice or suggestions? Any help would be awesome!!

Thanks!!

I use Answer's opk strips and so far they have been great! As far as when you ovulated, I can't really tell you. It depends on how long your cycle is, but is sounds like you can best tell by your cervix ans CM this time around... good luck!
