Which opk's do you use?

Did your dr. recommend a certain brand?
It's been four years since I bought any so I don't recall which brand, but it didn't matter since I never got a positive as I wasn't ovulating. Now I'm trying the letrozole and the RE's office suggested I try the opk's and if I don't get a positive by a certain day then they'll do b/w.
I've heard clear blue easy recommended. Any preference or does Target have an up & up option that works ok?
Also - I have an etiquette question. I see people warn about tickers/bfp's on here. Is it wrong to have the ticker for the kids' birthday on when I post in here? I don't want to be insensitive or anything. I spent time on this board when I was ttc the first time. I guess I personally wouldn't be offended by it - if anything it was promising for me to see that other women with issues had success - but if it's rude then I'll be more mindful of it. thanks.

Re: Which opk's do you use?
BFP on Cycle #8. Natural M/C at ~8 weeks

DH SA - low motility with 0% morph; varicocele (repaired); low T (on Clomid)
IVF w/ICSI (long Lupron w/ Repronex and Follistim) in September 2012
I always used Wondfos cause they're cheap and work well. I do hope that you are having ultrasound monitoring though.
I personally don't find your ticker offensive and with no kid pics in your sig, I don't see a warning being necessary.
I use wondfos. They have been good to me. If I didn't use one this past month, my IUI would have been a bust. They totally saved my ass.

I use the Wondfos from Amazon after lurking and seeing recs here. Been using for 6 months and they have been good so far. Good luck in finding one that is best for you.
I do not find the ticker w/o a warning offensive. I think it is really thoughtful of you to ask.
