Why can't OPK's work like HPT's.. I hate trying to decipher lines!

I knew they would be way to frustrating for me. I haven't used them for that reason.

I'm coming to the same conclusion! This is my first month using them and I HATE them so far. I can usually tell I'm O'ing based on CM so I think I'm just going to go with that from now on!

There is a brand that gives you a smiley face if it is positive.

I am the total opposite, this my third cycle using OPK and every month I am getting a + the day I deside to start checking. Like for instance today I decided just to get a head start so I can see it go from - to + and because i wanted to POAS I would use a OPK (I'm only on CD10) and shouldn't O till CD 14, or 15 and TODAY AT 1:00pm I get a very +!!! WHAT so I am very glad I starting BD last night!!!

GOOD LUCK
Keep POAS and you'll get that +

I hated them until I started using the Answer dip kind. They come in a 20 day supply for around $20. I have never had such a clear positive.

Here are mine from last month....

I used Answer first but then I bought them from babywishes.org because they are so cheap (and have a good reputation), and I am a POAS addict. I will post my pictures tomorrow, because I need help this time. They're back to definitely negative now, but I need help figuring out if any were even positive. Blech. I can't believe you had that many +'s, wow! I just want one.. haha.

Me too! I got a faint line on CD 13 (yesterday) and I was excited. Now I'm back to stark white (CD 14) I guess it's because I'm gonna O super late again this cycle....oh well.
