Re: OPKs
I use the internet cheapies. They have worked just fine for me for two cycles now. They are not at all fancy and they are actually the ones you dip into a cup (I find that easier anyway), but they cost under $1 each. I think the site is early-pregnancy-tests.com. Something like that!!

Re: OPKs
I would def recommend the ClearBlue Easy Digital OPKs. I know they are a bit more expensive than the regular OPKs but it takes all of the guess work out. A smiley face pops up when you are ovulating. If you are not ovulating you just get a circle. You don't have to compare lines or worry if it was darker or lighter or whatever. These really worked for me this month and I am in the 2WW now so hopefully some happy news will be coming soon....I HIGHLY recommend these!

Re: OPKs
I've used a few. Personally, the Answer PIAC sticks were the most sensitive, but First Response and $ Tree have worked well too. I found that I was overanalyzing the lines until I got my first positive, then I saw that it was very clear and unmistakable. I've heard CBE isn't as sensitive but very easy to read.

it looks like you can get 7 per box or a double box with 14.
For those of you that use them, on what cycle day did you start testing?

Re: OPKs
the first month I began on CD10. Since then I've seen that I usually surge around day 17-18 and it corresponds with my O pains.

I actually used the CBE monitor last month and found it very easy to use. For me it took the guessing out of reading the other OPK's. It is a little pricey so if other OPK's work than i would stick with them.

I got 7 in a box. It cost me $40. I have three left over for next month (which I think I will be needing  ). I started testing on day 10 and got a smiley on day 14 
If you use them and find them cheaper, please let me know..
Thanks and good luck!!
