OPKs

[Mrs.B.]

I'm thinking of joining the OPK bandwagon. Any recommendations of which ones?

I was also considering jumping on the wagon next cycle if this one was a failure but no clue where to start either.

I love Wondfos!! I get them on Amazon!! Crazy cheap, like $10 for 50 of them. Of course, I had a phase where I HAD to have the digi's...needless to say that didn't last long, they're so expensive! I was skeptical of the cheap Wondfos and didn't know if I'd be able to tell when I got a positive...but let me tell you, when you get that positive, there's no denying it!!

I used to use the cheapies but am much happier since switching to the digi's. Know they're expensive but it takes the guesswork out of peering at the strip and trying to decide if it is or isn't darker than the control. Plus digi's are fine to do with FMU and cheapier aren't, and I just can't hold my pee or not drink for that long later in the day!

Sometimes I find the cheapies aren't as obvious, you stare at them and try to figure out if one line is darker.. Ugh.

So I use Internet cheapies in general, and then if it looks dark, I use digitals to confirm if the cheapies were actually positive.

Then a pack of expensive digital ones lasts me several months.

This. Many times this. Makes it so much easier. Collect the pee in a cup and that way if you think it's digital worthy, you got pee waiting!

tribble & wonderstar - that's a brilliant idea! Think I'll start doing this!

Hey, you didn't like my idea?!?! Kidding! Hehe. I did that for a while too, then just totally ditched the digi's. Good luck, whatever you decide.

 

[Mrs.B.]

Aww Thanks everyone! I have ordered some digi's (whilst its a novelty) then I expect I'll go to cheapies after xx

Sorry Lisa! Didn't mention your post as I'm in the UK and buying from the US is quite costly. But it was a great recommendation.

I did cheapies for 9 months & NEVER got a positive! I have been on ClearblueEasy (digi-smileys) now for 2 months & just got my 2nd positive OPK ever! yeah, it's like $35 for CBE digi online, but seriously, if I could get my 9 months of trying unsuccessfully (my cycle is irreg), I'd pay $300 per month! Was not & is never worth the guessing, 2nd guessing, confusion & heartache. i thought something was seriously worng w/me so went to more Dr's & etc.

I'd say if you want to switch one month, do both at same time & just make sure it shows up at the same time as your
