Ok girls bear with me here. I'm definitely not a opk expert--ok ok I know NOTHING about em. But, money is tight this paycheck, (and if i want to order them online I have to do it ASAP) If we had known about the Clomid before CD 1 then I could have spent a little more money, and get everything that I want/need--as it is, I can't, I have to pick and choose.
I know, and I want the smiley face OPK's. Missy gave me a link to some on ebay--that's actually a good deal. BUT if i get those, I won't be able to get some IC's, or preseed (or mucinex...whichever) So my question is this:
What ones (regular) are good? Off off ebay, or off of a site. I've found some regular OPK's on ebay, that come with IC's for a very good price, but I have no idea how good they are, or if they are reliable at all.
Can anyone help me out?

How long are your cycles normally? How much do you have to spend?

If you are on a tight budget, I say go with Early pregnancy tests and get the combo pack. That will give you
* 25 Ovulation Test Strips
* 10 Pregnancy Test Strips
All for $25. And they work ok too.
Pregnancy and Ovulation Test Strip Value Pack #2
I would skip the preseed and do musinex. Much cheaper, less messy and "more natural cm" if that makes sense.
What do others think??

I am happy you are asking question Amy. I don't know anything about OPKs or IC's.
Missy can you send me the link to ebay that you sent Amy with the ones with smiley face on them?

I agree with Missy about Early Pregnancy Tests... that is what I always use for OPKs and IC's. I have been using Preseed for a while now and no luck, so I've been thinking of trying out the Mucinex too. I like the Preseed, but I just haven't gotten a BFP with it.

Thank you girls. So much! You are the best!
Missy- My cycles USUALLY are 34-38 days, but the past two have been 50 days +--which is part of the reason the doc put me on clomid. I have about 25 dollars to spend or so, but less is always better!
Early pregnancy tests were where I was thinking of going, mostly because I've gotten many referrals from you guys, but this sets it in stone.
