Favorite OPKs?

in TTC after 35
I was checking out opk kits and realized that there are quite a few options. Any favorites among the group? Any that you absolutely hate? Any input is appreciated. :)

    I think most people do Wondfos. I have only ever used First Response, but I have liked them (though for me the line never gets darker than the control - it is simply there or it isn't). I was successful in January with one, but the past 2 months I have not been.

    I have been using Clearblue.  My doctor said she had received the best feedback on those from her patients.  We've only been TTC for a couple months, but they have worked well so far.

    I use the wondfos.  They are cheap and work well for me though some people don't like interpreting the lines since the test line has to be as dark or darker than the control.  I do use them 2x day when it gets close to time to O and I get an almost positive before I get a positive.
    Others around here seem to like the regular clear blue.  I hear a lot of complaints around here about the clear blue advanced where people get a lot of "high" readings and never get a "peak".  I bought the combo packs with 50 LH and 20 HCG strips and use the cheap pregnancy tests to deal with my POAS-aholic problem.  Beware that others have gotten false positives on those so if I get one I will confirm on a FRER.

    I like Wondfos. Like @tlc35, I test twice a day.

    So far, I can only speak against the ClearBlue Easy Fertility Monitor - I'm on my second one. The first one wouldn't turn on at all and the replacement is highly temperamental: skips days, forgets testing windows and has yet to give me a peak (despite I can see a clear pattern in my temp chart). I don't know if it's a hardware or software problem, but I know it was pricey!

    I'll be trying the Wondfos this month and am optimistic about them based on the reviews here.

    Thanks for your input, @meredithcarole‌, @pinkishrabbit‌, @URMySunshine77‌! @tlc35‌ I am a POASaholic, too! I won't even say how many FRER I burned through last cycle! @marijaa333‌ Good luck with the wondfos this month! I hope they work out for you. :)
