A shout out for OPKs...

I have been using (at the same time) a variety of OPKs - from pregnancy-tests.com, saveontests.com, clear blue, and the dollar store opks.

I have found the best (and this shocked me) to be the dollar store opks, then probably clearblue tied with the pregnancy-tests.com and I would not recommend from saveontests.com.

I also test 3 to 4 times a day and the dollar store brand consistently catches the surge before the others do.

Now, my dollar store sells out of them quickly (I guess like me people buy a quantity at a time).

Thanks for the review! We will have to keep these results somewhere so people know which brands are best.

Where are you in your cycle?

Good luck and keep us posted!

lh surge today - we are just bd-ing this month and next - no iui's. We have been every other day all of this week and will again tonight and tomorrow.

I just was very impressed by their opk's (dollar store) - they seemd to be medical lab quality.
