Opk differences?

Alright I kind of have to be a little bit more smart minded when spending this month and would like to know some opinions on OPK's.

Now Walmart offers:

7 Digi Clearblue for 20.97

20 Answer for 18.97 (more in my budget specially since they come with so much, and sometimes I O late)

7 Clearblue regular tests for 18.97

7 First Response easy read for 17.97

or of course the $ store OPK's.

Would the answer tests do? How do you know if it is a positive? Does the line have to be as dark as the control line or how do they work?

Sorry i'm new at OPK's. Ordering online is out this month, maybe next, but for now I have to go to Walmart.

When I was doing opk's I used the Answer tests.. You could also go on ebay and buy the IC's.. They normally have better deals and you get more.. That is the route I went.. How to tell if it is positive is when the test line is as dark or darker then the control line.. That is considered a positive...

I would suggest ordering from early pregnancy tests.com...I actually buy their OPK's on ebay, it's like 7.99 for 20 and something like 2$ shipping, and they ship super fast too (they are in the same town as me, and I get them next day lol)...I've always had good luck with their OPK's, especially for the price...With OPK's the test line has to be darker than the control line to be positive...HTH

...Oh and usually you take them 2-3 times a day, never with FMU...It's been awhile since i've used OPK's, but I usually would take one at 11, then 5 and then around 8 or 9 at night...Good luck

I've tried the 20 Answer tests (like ics) and the 7 Answer, and the digital Clearblue tests.
I had a hard time figuring out if/when I was Oing. I was getting 3-4 days of positives. Even today (1dpo) on the cheap tests, it still shows positive. The digital only showed positive the morning before and night then the next day it was neg again. I bought the 20 pack and now have enough if I need them again next month. I love not having to decipher the test too.
