The 20 stick kit. Does anyone recommend them? They are way cheaper... But do they work well?

I've used them before. they are very sensitive. I'd get the very light lines, and that didn't necessarily mean I'd o soon. I'd have to wait til I saw lines getting darker. so for the money they are good, but some might not want to see lines if they aren't going to be oing soon. I just figured out when I was likely to o and used them then.

They are so-so...I don't think my test line ever got as dark as the control line...so I would keep all my tests and just compare test lines...once it get darker and started to get lighter I'd figure that I Oed or was Oing...

I did some research and some people say they are confusing and unreliable and some peopl swear by them and have gotten pregnant using them several time.... I bought some, and I just hope they are not a HUGE waste of money.

If I don't get pregnant this cycle I think I will buy a fertility monitor. Any suggestions on which one?

I just bought some cheap OPK's on ebay... But with my sleeping schedule and I'm a mouth breather... So my temps I don't think are accurate I was looking in the Ovwatch.

I used Answer Brand opks and they are realllly sensitive. I ended up getting 7 positives in a row. Kinda freaked me out. But, they were accurate. So, what I ended up doing is using them and when I got a positive, I'd use a more expensive brand for a day or two, to confirm the positive result. It was fun, as a POAS addict, to have so many "options". And, the price was right G/L
