Which one's do you think work the best? I haven't used any yet, so recommendations are needed.

Danielle,

Out of all the ones I have tried the smiley face ones work the best (ClearBlue Easy.. I think). For ones with lines... I 100% say the Answer 20 pack. Cost is around $20. They are the kind you dip into urine, not mid stream. I really didn't have good luck with the mid stream. When you start using them, try to test twice a day when the line starts getting darker. Just to be sure you don't miss the surge. With OPK's you don't test with FMU it's better to test in the afternoon or at night.

Hope it helps
Bobbie

On 1/31 at exactly 16 weeks pregnant Noah came too soon. He was our 7th loss
If you would like to see pictures of my sweet (but tiny) boy they can be viewed at www.caringbridge.org/visit/noahdarrohn they aren't the easiest pitures to look at but I am willing to share them with anyone who would like to see them <3

I like the Answer brand too, but I didn't know they came in a 20 pk! Here I can only get them in a 7pk. I did try the Dollar Store brand but they are not as sensitive.

The Mid-stream ones come in a 7 pack. (I have bad luck with those ones) The 20 pack is a dip kind. They sell them at Tops supermarket and I have seen them at Kmart. Not sure about anywhere else.

Thanks again on your replies ladies. I think I'm about to try to work on my charting today and if I don't get preggers this month, Ill buy the Opks.

Danielle...that's the smart thing to do

I really think charting is so much more important than OPK's. They really are a waste of money, but they are fun. I have this peeonastick addiction that I have to feed.
