I've decided that I hate Answer OPKs.

I've always heard if any part of the OPK was darker then it is positive.


But I've never had that problem, until this month.

Thanks Lyn,


I actually did just what you were saying today, held it until after work and tested at about 5:30 pm- the line was pretty dark, but not as dark as the control line, so I guess technically (-).

Have you tried the internet cheapies? If not, you should. You wouldn't have to spend so much money. They work great for me (you should do them several times a day when you're expecting O though). If you haven't, you should try them.

I've never tried anything else, but I know using the others can get expensive.

My doc thinks I'm crazy for using them at all and just throwing money away. Where I O regularly and can pinpoint it to a few days window, he thinks I'm fine. I like to do the OPKs and temp though so I know the *exact* day I O so I know when to expect AF.

I do the OPKs just so I'll know the exact day AF is supposed to show too.

The answer brand opks did not fair well in comparison testing. Apparently it failed to catch the levels that
