It's official! I got not one, but 2 + OPKs today. I'm drinking and waiting now to take a digital test. Either way, I called the clinic and I will go in tomorrow. I tried to take a photo of my OPKs for you but it didn't turn out.

Well now I'm just confused.  I just took a digital OPK and it was a BFN. Are they not as sensitive as other OPKs? I'm keeping the IUI appt tomorrow since I usually O the same day as a + digi OPK so I think that the timing will be fine. The other OPKs are clear +s.
Missy - I hope that your good feeling about this cycle is right!

I hope I am right too Kim!
Ok, so what brand OPK did you use and what brand digital OPK? Different brands have different sensativity levels just like HPT's.
I saw a chart online today when I was reading something else... I will see if I can find it again.
-----
I looked everywhere for the site and can't find it. I know it said that clearblue opk (the 2 line test) was the best line and clearblue digital was the best and easiest to read however had a higher sensativity level. I also remember that First Response came close to last which suprised me because the HPT's are so awesome. I know I read it right because the first thing I did was go on ebay and buy some clearblue
There is this chart, but all of the data is not filled in so it doesnt fully help.

I was using the Clearblue brand at work, and the Clearblue digital at home. It's odd that they are different. I'm going to assume that the digitals aren't as sensitive.

Maybe you had a faulty digi? The 2 times I used the clearblue digi and lines at the same time (different cycles) I got the smiley face when the lines showed positive as well.
Good Luck!!! This is your month girl!

Good luck Kimberley!!!!!!! I hope it went great!!!!! I think the digi's are more accurate in MY experience, but I bet if you had used a digi in the morning when you got the other two positives, it would have been positive! I think you'll be a-ok!!

I took another OPK this morning and it was a really clear +. I'm not going to bother trying a digi again. I usually O the same day as a +OPK so the timing is fine.
The IUI went really smoothly. Now I just have to be patient and not drive myself crazy in the 2WW!
