I think I'm going to use them next cycle because FF is messing with me so far about my O date...

Do you guys know of any negatives to using them?
I just went to the store, and they range in price from $42(no name brand) to 99$. The no-name & clear blue ($55) have 5 tests, and the $99 has unlimited tests.

Worth it in your opinion?
Is anyone else is happy with them?

Goodness those are expensive. I paid 18 dollars (I think) for a box of 7 and I love them! Much better to use them with temping to verify your O date.

Check out the internet or even the Dollar Tree store to see if you can find them any cheaper.

As for accuracy, if your body is suffering a hormonal imbalance or you're stressed and your body gears up to O but doesn't, OPKs will show every single one of them. They only measure LH surges not when your body actually Os ... so yes they can still be confusing too.

Good call. We don;t have any dollar tree's here
The dollar store we have sells only crap like candles and things. Nothing useful
I will check Walmart & Zellers tho.
Any fellow Canadians out there know where to get OPK's for "cheapie"??????

Are those those digital monitor tests?? rather than OPKs??

I got the target brand box of 7 OPKs for $14.

If you are looking at a drug store for them they tend to be higher priced as well.

There are also many places online where you can order a ton in bulk for much less.

I am not 100% sold on OPKs, I used them a few times. The last time I used them was the only time I actually got a + reading.

They are very picky on testing with them that is for sure. And it is very possible to miss your LH surge.
