OPKs! ClearBlue vs cheap brand

[littlbabywish]

i have been using a cheap brand of opks and they haven't shown any sign of ov! has anyone else had this happen? i have now sent off for some ClearBlue opks and would really like to hear the opinions from other users as to how accurate they are!

i had no luck with the cheap opks either! if you can afford them then it is always better to go for them. i have not used them myself but as the saying goes you get what you pay for lol x

I've been using Answer brand (fairly cheap) and I was getting worried that I wouldn't be able to tell, but I think I finally got a positive today!! I had wanted digis, but I sent DH to the drugstore for them. Of course he came home with cheapies!! I like the smiles because it's like a green light. But, honestly, these cheapies have been fine and I have enough to test twice a day. So it turns out that I like them fine. Good luck catching your egg!

I'm about to start my very first cycle of TTC, so I can't really attest to their reliability, but my plan is this: I bought both the wondfo opks and a pack of the CB digitals. The CB ones seem fool-proof and reviews are great, but of course they're rather expensive as a trade off. So I'm going to use the wondfo's and when they show positive (or what I think is positive), I'll double check with the digi. That way I get the best of both worlds - ease and cheap.

i have always used the clearblue and love them, but they are expensive! I only use once a day unless my cheapie is +. last month i didn't get a + on them but i did with the cheap ones. The cheap ones are good to do several times a day. This month i used wondfo and clearblue and got a + on both at the same time.
