What are the best OPKs???
| Tue, 09-30-2003 - 2:07pm |
Hello Ladies!! I hope everyone is having a wonderful morning/afternoon(still moring here).
I'm sure this question has been asked a million times, but I'm just too lazy to go look for the answer. I'm taking a break from temping this cycle (dh doesn't like how it makes me crazy) so I thought I would just check cm and use OPKs. So I was wondering what brand of OPKs seem to work the best, how much are they and where did you buy them??? I was going to buy some from babyhopes but it said it might take 9-12 days to get here. I can't wait that long. Please let me know which you prefer.

I have used First Response OPKs the last two months. I bought them at Wal-Mart and at Target for about $17. That is for a box with 5 OPKs and 1 HPT. Also, inside the box is a coupon for $1 off.
Hope that helps,

Good luck with the OPK method! That is all I am doing so far. For the last 2 cycles I have used Answer OPKs and I would NOT recommend them. Out of 2 kits (10 sticks), 3 of the 10 sticks were completely defective - I got a complete blank result with no control line. After this experience I looked around on the web for info and found the Feb. '03 Consumer Reports study on OPKs which rated Answer the absolute worst of all of them. CR recommended ClearPlan as the best, and I went out and bought one for my cycle with the Firecrackers. CR said they are the most sensitive. I found a kit at my local drugstore and the company (ClearBlue) has changed the name - they are now being sold in as "ClearBlue Easy" OPK. 2 of my friends who have gone through infertility treatments say their specialists recommended this OPK as well.
Hope that helps, and good luck this cycle,
Robin
