OPK sticks v. digital?

[jennpeary]

I understand that the digital takes the guess work out but how long do they last? Are they better than the pee sticks?

I use the cheapies with the lines most of the month, then when they get dark (positive or almost) I switch to the digitalis to confirm that way I'm not using digitalis all cycle as they cost a fortune

I've been using the clearblue digital ovulation tests every month for the past year and I love them! There's no question about how dark or light a line is. You only go by if you get a smiley face or not. So much better and worth the extra cost in my opinion!

How many uses are the digitals?

 

[laurac1988]

You get a handle thingy to insert them into and then the sticks. The handle you can use as many times as you wish but the sticks are one use only

interestingly i use cheapies and CB digi but did a test this month as i had both cheapies, cb digi & cb dual hormone detector ones - i was amazed the dual hormone picked up 10 days of high fertility when the other 2 where both negative. the dual ones are clearly useless you would have to bd every night for a huge amount of time if u relyed on them alone so now i have gone back to cheapies for the beginning until lines get darker then cb digi normal ones! hope this helps!!
