OPKs

If AF shows her ugly head today or tomorrow I am thinking about trying these. Do you just use the ones at the drug store or is it better to order them in bulk? If so, where can I get them?

I've used the ones with the lines... where you have to guess if the line is truly as dark as the other line. I'm not a fan of those and if I get AF this cycle, we're going the digital route.

The first couple of months I used them I had no clue when I O'd, so I went through plenty of them and wasted money.  But after 2 months I had my O date pinned to a 2 day window, so ever since I only have to test for like 3 days of my cycle and I always get the positive. 

I buy a box of 7 sticks, Clear Blue Easy Digital OPK's, for $35 or so at CVS or Wal-Mart.  Those 7 are enough.  I test twice a day starting with CD9.  I usually get the smiley face that night or the next day CD10, CD11 at the latest.

I'll never use anything but digitals anymore.  $29.99 at Target and sometimes you get a free digital HPT in the pack!

This was my first month using them and I spent alot of $$$ I didn't ovulate until cd 23 but it was worth it for me b/c at least I know I O'd.

I started with the digital but saved my last stick for a confirmation when I realized I wasn't going to O for a while.  I bought cheap line reading ones from Target and when I thought my cheapies were + I confirmed it with my digital.
