What's your OPK of choice?

ASH_M · #1 June 15th, 2009, 06:05 PM

After getting rid of my molar pregnancy last month, my cycle "seems" to have come right back the way it was before - confusing. I temp and I check CM (NFP style) but both of them come up with multiple days that I could have ovulated during this cycle. It's important that I narrow down my ovulation window, because I'm hoping to do some hormone/progesterone testing next cycle. So...I'm going to start using OPK's along with the temping and CM checks. I've never used any before, so I'm wondering which brand is the best.

What does everyone here like using?

I use Answer brand and I seem to have very good results with them. I normally buy the Answer brand because they are cheaper than the others and I'm really tight with $$.

I did, however, buy 2 packs of digitals off Amazon.com the other day because they were only $34.99 for both packs! I scorn myself for that, but I think because they will give me the smiley face...it'll take all the interpretation out, so I won't have to second guess.

Glad your back in the game

I use the Answer brand strips (20 in a box) and I make them last me 2 months.

I get my OPKs here (when I use them- which hasn't been too often). They work great for me, and they are affordable!

I also fork out the $$ for the digitals (and only buy them on Ebay as they are half price on there than they are in the store). Regular OPKs don't work for me tough.

i, unlike the other ladies have had much bad luck with answer brands giving false positives - numerous times. they are sooo sensitive, which you think would be good, but they give me positives for a week. i've crosschecked them with clearblue (two line) and first response and i like clearblue the best. digitals are great, but they are expensive.
