anyone use Answer OPKS?
I bought a box of Answer OPKs in CVs yesterday. they come with 20 test strips, so I figured I could probably get atleast 2 months use out of them. In reading the directions, it says to use them within 30 days of opening- which would take out my 2 month theory. Do you thgink that's really true, or just a way to get you to buy another box? I really think it would be fine if I used them this month, and if needed, next month too.

Re: anyone use Answer OPKS?
Are they individually wrapped? I would think they'd be fine for 2 months if thats the case...sounds like a way for them to make extra $$, lol.
Also..I haven't used them...but I have heard that some people never get a true positive with Answer, always an "almost" positive. Not sure how true it is?!
At any rate....hopefully you'll only need to use them for 1 month anyway!

Well the test line was extremely, barely noticably, light. So I figure when it gets darker than I'm Oing. As far as how they're wrapped, they're not wrappped individually, there are a bunch of sticks in a container, which does say to keep sealed in between use.

My best friend used these and got 4 days of +OPKs.
I would not trust these tests 100% to determine when you ovulate since you may get multiple +days - (happened to others on FF as well).

Re: anyone use Answer OPKS?
Cr@p, so I just wasted $25!  I was thinking I was being smart and frugal by getting two months worth of tests at one time. On the up side, maybe that means I can get DH to give it up a lot!

My friend thought the same thing! She thought she was getting a great money-saving deal 
I actually just gave her my CBEFM, so no more OPKs for her!

Is that the $200 monitor thing? My friend has one and said she would totally lend it to me, but it says that only one person can use it because it stores the persons info. Is that true, or just another scam to keep you buying?

Yes, that's the one!
It does store that person's information, but you can reset it.
If you need to reset it, I can give you the instructions on how to do so.

Ok, I'm going to ask her if I can borrow it. She's about to pop out baby #2 and day now, so I don't think she'll be needing it for a while.

I used them and they worked for me I used them over the 30 days too. Had no problems!
