I'm going to use OPks this cycle. Can someone tell me the usual amount to order? Would 25 be enough? I think so yes?

Good luck with the OPKs! I've been thinking that I would do the same next cycle if AF does show.
Seems like I read somewhere that you get 14... start taking them a few days after you're done with AF... I dunno though. But I am sure that 25 will be enough...

That all depends...are your cycles pretty normal? Do you usually O around the same time???
I started using my OPK's around CD9 this cycle, and here it is CD18, just finally got my first positive yesterday, and I was using 2-3 a day thinking I might miss my surger...so do the math...let's see...I used about 30 or so...but if you pretty much know a narrow range of when you should O, that should be plenty.
Myself, I did not have good luck with the internet cheapies. I started a thread over in the TTC board, comparing 4 different OPK...well heck, I'll post the pic for you here too. I get best results with the Answer ones you can get at Wal-Mart, it was like $11 for 7 or them, so they cost more....but if I were just using the others, I might have missed it..Here's a pic:
from top to bottom: Answer, Clear Blue, $Tree, and internet.
The answer is a clear positive, CB was iffy, $Tree not positive yet, and internet wasn't quite positive yet..even the control line was not really dark....but some people have great luck with them, so I think it just depends on the person..I think I just need more sensitive tests...

I ordered 25 from saveontests.com. Had great luck w/ those this cycle. Got a clear positive, no problem. And from that site, I only paid like 40 cents a piece!

No, I haven't tried the digitals, but the only reason I haven't is because they are quite pricey, and me not knowing what my cycles are doing, I'd have spent a fortune on them...but I do like the idea of just getting a nice little smiley face instead of having to decode a few lines!

Anyone know anything about OV Watch? It's expensive, but I don't have to POAS!

I've looked into the OV Watch.

You have to start it on Day 3 I think of your cycle, there's no leeway for it. I know they had a promo going awhile ago, that if you didn't get pregnant within 3 cycles, they'd give you 3 more sensors free, but I am not sure if they are still doing it or not.

Given the choice, I think I would rather go with the CBEM over the OV watch, but that's just me.
