Well I plan too check CM and temp and cervical position in the mornings. Should I go too the $ Tree and invest in OPK's?? I'm trying not too overdue it. Do they really help? Is it worth the extra money and stress? Just wondering...What do you guys think?

I think they're worth it. If I hadn't started using them, I would have burned out my DH days before O. I think they help you work smarter, not harder! Plus, if you know in what neighborhood of days you O, you can pay better attention to your CM. They helped me and DH understand the patterns a lot better. Just be sure you read and follow the directions!

For me the answer is no.


I did them like three times a day, never got a positive, even though I had EWCM.


As we got pregnant that month, I say fooey to them.


Although if you do buy the cheap ones, it is fun to pee on things.

LOL. That's funny. Yeah, I can't afford too waste money on the expensive ones so if I get any they'll be the cheap ones just in case;) Thank you:)

I used them to get pg with 2 of my kids and they worked awesome! I used the ones from babywishes.org (free shipping in the US) so I don't know about $tree ones, but they worked the two times we used them!


I think that in addition to watching the other signs, that they can be a really great thing. It detects the surge so you can get your BD in at the right time. You normally O just after the surge so when they thing turns positive get to dancing! I loved how cheap they were, I took one in the morning and one in the evening so I didn't miss the surge as it can last anywhere from 12 to 48 hours.
