Recommend your OPKs
I'm assuming I'm out this month since AF is due Thurs and I got a BFN this morning, so next month I want to start using OPKs. Can anyone recommend their brand? I definitely can't afford the CBE monitor, so something on the cheap side would be good.

I'd recommend the cheapies/line tests (Wondfos are great from Amazon) until you think you get a positive. Then use the CBE smiley tests to confirm. They are much more expensive.
Good luck!

I always used the CBE smiley face tests. I found that Amazon had the best prices for the large box. I really didn't want to try to figure out if a line was getting darker or not..lol.

I use the cheapies from Amazon. They are affordable but I agree they aren't the easiest to use. I started testing around CD9 and just watched the line keep getting darker. I kept the sticks in my medicine cabinet so I could compare the lines. I DEF was able to see the line get darker. Good luck!

Re: Recommend your OPKs
i like the ones from earlypregnancytests.com but agree that they take a little getting used to. . I use them to lead up to it and then the CBE ones for confirmation. .

Re: Recommend your OPKs
Honestly, I used the ones from the dollar store. And I feel I had better luck with taking my basal temp. To know when I ovulated. This was also a couple years ago, but I'm pretty sure they still sell them, this is how I fed into my early testing habit as well lol.

CBE digital so that you can get a smiley face. No comparing lines needed

Re: Recommend your OPKs
Thanks all. I went with the CBE digital in the hopes that it will be so easy that I'll only have to use them one month.
