After two months of TTC at just having sex all month, still no baby! So this cycle I have decided to try an OPK. Would you please recommend what you use? how easy are they?
Yep..I just started using Wondfo OPKs because of the other ladies recommendations on TTGP. No positive result yet but keeping at it. Oh and they are so much cheaper from Amazon!!
This is our first month using an OPK and I went with Clear Blue Easy Digital Ovulation Kit. It was $30 at target for a month supply. It's so easy, empty circle not ovulating, happy face ovulating.
I tried the cheap ones from the internet for our first month and had so much trouble figuring out if the line was darker than the control, etc. I went with CBE digital the 2nd month and got a BFP. Good luck!
I am also using CBE digitals for this first month of me using OPKs because I was not relishing the idea of squinting at 6:30 am trying to figure out what I am seeing and then running off to check online to compare my lines.
I might switch later if I get more confidence, though.

I am using these this month and got a good deal on them on amazon. They have a coupon for $3 off making them $24 and change until 9/30. I thought that for our first month out of the gate I'd like the ease of digital. If this goes on and on I will buy the cheapies.

Maybe it depends on the person, but my positives are always super dark. There is no mistaking that it is a positive. I did mistake an "almost positive" for a + the first month, though.

The first month I used the Wondfo's I was confused because once I started to see a line I thought I had O'd - I tend to have the "fade in" where it progressively gets darker. The second month I POAS for a lot longer & that's how I figured it out. The lines are both the same color so its pretty clear when you O. I then confirm with a CBE digi. That way I can POAS to my hearts content and not waste the digis.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely keep that in mind for the next time. I also like the ease of the digital, I have never tried the others but I keep reading a lot about people not being able to read them properly.
