Ovulation Predictor Kits

Hi ladies! If you have used one, what type of ovulation predictor kit do you recommend? I've never used one, but need to for the upcoming FET natural cycle in order to determine O time. I'm primarily interested in ease of use, and any other tips you might have for me!
| Married since 2008 | DH and I: Both 30 | Me: Endometriosis and Carrier of an X-Linked Dominant Genetic Disorder | DH: Low Morph | Planning IVF with PGD and PGS in 2013 | Freeze-All IVF #1: March 2013 ER 3/26. 29R, 12M, 11F. 4 5AA frozen blasts. Freeze-All IVF#2: May 2013 ER 5/15. 31R, 21M, 20F. 6 5AA frozen blasts. Our PGD probe was completed in late June (total of 20 weeks to develop). PGD and PGS Results came on 6/19: 3 healthy embryos (normal chromosomes and unaffected by my family's genetic disorder). FET #1: July 2013 Natural Cycle - Cancelled due to insufficient lining (only got to 7.5mm). FET #1.2: August 2013 - Medicated Cycle with Lupron & Estrogen Patches to build up lining. Single embryo transfer was 8/23. Beta #1: 240! Beta #2: 578! U/S on 9/19 at 6w4d: We saw the heart beating at 131bpm. Second U/S on 10/4 at 8w5d: We saw the heart beating at 178bpm. EDD 5/11/2014

    I use Wondfo's from Amazon.  Super cheap.  However, if I was using them during a treatment cycle, I might splurge on the digi's since there's so much riding on it.

    I used wondfos until it got close to positive, and then I confirmed with the clear blue digital. That way the more expensive ones lasted longer.

    I missed your PGD/PGS results!  Just saw them in your siggy, congrats!!!

    I always use Wondfos from amazon but they can be difficult to read when you're not used to them. They're also really cheap and I order them in bulk.  Since you probably don't need a lot of them and it's your first time I suggest a brand that uses the smiley face, then you don't have to worry about misreading them. 

     

    IF, 5 losses, 1 son, 1 on the way.

    I agree, as well.  It's the only brand my RE suggests.
