Starting OPKs...

This is my first cycle, and I'm really using them to try and catch O, so I can finish my bloodwork. My question is for anyone who temps AND uses OPKs. How often do your readings match up with your chart? Oh, and I got the fun digital ones with the smiley.

Re: Starting OPKs...
Which kind did you get abc? I know this has been posted here before, but I tried using the search function and am not finding much.
TIA!
Mine matched every cycle. I've taken down my other charts, but you can see my one cycle in my siggy. GL!!
PS - the smiley ones are the best.
Those fun smiley ones are EXPENSIVE! If I was you..I would buy the cheapies from the internet or answer brand from the drug store. Pee on them, then when the two lines come up and your not 100% sure pee on the cute digital ones! I have yet to cave and listen to my advice though, I just can't see spending $30.00 on a box of them even if I would only use 2 a cycle or so.
Anyway..from the looks of my chart, they are never right =( Oh well I still pee on them, I love to pee on things!
Good luck finishing your bloodwork!
mine matched each month but 1 - and the one it didn't match ff gave me the dotted crosshairs before I got a + on the opk. Now I'm not charting, just using OPK's.
I've used the digital smiley face ones and the cheaper 2 line ones, and I like the smiley face ones the best .. something about getting the
makes it even more exciting. haha.
Mine matched up great this cycle.. got a + opk and then FF confirmed that I O'ed the following day.
My only advice is you may want to test more than once a day if your line is getting close to dark enough to be positive, because your surge may happen in a few hours. That's what's happened with me.
If it helps, mine matched every cycle along with my CH on FF. My bfp cycle my opk and ch matched to the day according to my u/s so I think they can be very accurate.
GL ABC!!!!! I hope there is a little 123 running around for you very soon.
True! And if you're only using them this cycle for blood work I can understand that!
No lines, I got the digitals.

I hope so too. For now, I just want to finish this bloodwork, and confirm that I am in fact O-ing. If a little 123 comes from that, SWEET!
Yar, I saw you posted that as I was typing my response..
I used Target brand for the last few months with no positive, although I was pretty close a few times. My "almost" positives were in line with my CM for fertility. FF has yet to give me crosshairs, but I think I O'd last cycle and possibly the cycle before.
If you're considering them long term, I'd definately go with internet cheapies. The target one (two lines) were $15 for seven, and using them 2x's/day got to be too much $$ for me. I bought 20 OPKs and 5 HPTs from amazon for $12.20 + $1.99 s&h. What a difference! And they took about a week to get here (WNY).
GL! Glad to hear the dr.s are moving forward with you. I think most of GP wants to see the result of your previous siggy equation!
