What OPK Brand

I just used my last wondfo OPK today. I've been putting off ordering more. So now I'm at the store and don't know which one to get!

How are the Answer brands? Well, I'm mainly looking at the CVS brand that is compared to Answer. Or should I just spend the money and get the First Response ones and hope my wondfos make it in time?

    I've gotten the Walgreen's brand in the past, which got me my BFP last time. I think they are the same as the CVS brand, but am not sure.

    I've only used the cheapies I got on Amazon and $ General ones.  The $ store ones did not work for me.  I don't have any experience w/ the answer or cvs, sorry.  Hopefully someone else has better advice.  I guess I vote for answer or FR.

    I used the Answer Brand once and it was a total bust! I got + on them for a week straight. My DH even got a positive on them. I have gotten pretty clear + on FR.

    I used the Answer brand last month and this month. Last month they worked like a charm... they were very clearly positive or very clearly negative. This month I am getting some conflicting results. To be fair, it does say to use them within 30 days and it's been over 30 days.
