Trying to Get Pregnant

OPK brand/type doesn't really matter, right?

I'm scanning early-pregnancy-tests.com and amazon and finding that they are generally evenly priced for OPKs. It doesn't really matter what brand or kind of OPK one uses, right? I wouldn't think it makes much of a difference, does it? As a side note, I found a package on amazon that is a BBT, 25 OPKs, and 10 HPTs for like $9.

  • There is one brand people here seem to really hate, I think it is Answer?
    ?Transatlantic Blonde?

  • Yes, brands do sometimes make a difference. ?However, the more expensive ones aren't always the better ones. ?You have to experiment and find a brand that works the best for you and is easy for you to read. ?As previous poster commented, lots of women here hate Answer, but they're the only ones that work for me.

  • yup, Answer is terrible, really hard to read.  also, i've never had a positive on real cheapies.  I like CBE and FR best - I don't see a need to shell out for digital, but that's just me
  • I think part of it is trial and error. I used the Early Pregnancy Test ones at first and for some reason could never get a solid positive. One day in a pinch, I bought the Rite Aid store brand ones and I can get a positive on those.

    I know there have been people who really only like the digitals or use them as confirmation when they see a positive on regular OPK. Everyone is different, I would personally say start cheap and see how it works for you.

    I personally use CBE OPKs b/c I don't want to deal with all the "is the line darker or not" crap. I love them, they work great for me.
