I know...so excited for you!!!!
I didnt get a + on those, but I tested early. I got a light line and then they disappeared....so I know it detects my levels....they just werent high enough at that time.

I have been using the $$$ Tree ones for 2 months now and really like them. But they are all I have ever used.

I've been using the ones that early-pregnancy-tests.com sells... they don't show a brand name other than the name of the website.

Those are the ones that I really prefer... even though they are IC's. I've bought mid-stream OPKs from Walgreens & Rite Aid before thinking they were better, but I've gotten inconsistent readings from them.

I've also had months where I never got a + too. That's why I'm so glad I chart everything, because if I was only going by OPK, I would've thought I didn't O at all!

I'd been using the little Answer strips (20 pack for $20) but this past cycle, I found basically the same thing at Big Lots for $8. They seem to work just as well as the Answers (of course I've never had any problem getting definite +OPK's).

I do not like Answer brand tests. I do use them occassionally but I really like the internet cheapies the best. I get mine from early-pregnany-tests.com. They are the AIM brand I believe.

Oh, I am not. Hopefully......I wont need them for a few more years! BUT if I happen to need them, I will use them again. I was getting discouraged because I was getting my hopes up on Oing.

I do the digis- they may be pricey but the smiley face is a clear positive to me.

I just got some from early-pregnany-tests.com but I haven't actually tried them yet. This cycle will be my first using them.

I have tried the IC's from babycreation.com for the last 2 cycles - I don't know if I really like them as I have never really got a blaring positive and they seem kinda blurry and harder to read. I am trying out the Answer 20 pack this cycle and so far (only after using 4 tests) I can definitely see a clearer lead up with the test line. They definitely seem clearer and more easy to read to. We will see what my official verdict is after I O this cycle.

I highly recommend $tree tests to those who can get them!! They are cheap and they definitely work. I like the answer tests, but honestly i have issues with the test line being 2 different colors. It is harder to read. I didn't have this problem last cycle. So for me using $trees and then backing it up with a digi is the way i'll go in the future. I LOVE the digis...i just have to find another good deal on ebay when i run low.however only using one or two a cycle makes em last a little longer. I could easily use one a month just to confirm!! Plus the little is so cute!!! I even had to show it to DH!!
