The kind that have the yes/no? Did you like them? Did they work for you? I bought them thinking they were like the clear blue but they are different. You have to start on day 5, you can only test once a day and it compares you LH level to the day before's. You have to stop once you get a + because it stops working? Not sure if I like this and wondering if I should just go but some others...

@travellingbee: I'm using them this cycle and I hate them. Seriously hate them. I am on day 14 of my cycle and have had 4 error messages so far. It doesn't matter much to me as I'm being monitored by a clinic as well, and I am using them to see if I get the same result, but I'm hugely pissed that I spent $$ on them for so many wasted sticks through error messages. I'll get a different brand of digital next cycle.

@travelgirl1: grrr... I think I'll get some wondfo's to verify. I hate that you can't really even use them to just look at the lines yourself- no control line, right?
-
@travellingbee: My clinic strongly recommends digitals over wondfos because then there is no confusion over whether you have a positive or not. But I hate that brand. Grrrr! I have been pretty chill about it because I have the clinic results every day too so if I get an error I don't care and don't repeat with a fresh stick like you're supposed to but if that's all I was using I think I'd be so anxious and would have re-tested the error days, so frustrating!

I like the CB digital OPKs. They measure LH surge & estrogen surge, so you get low, high & peak fertility (via open circle, blinky smiley face & solid smiley face, respectively). I do usually get many more high fertility days than the box/insert indicates as typical (5-6 vs 2), so I go through quite a few of the tests per cycle, but I think it seems accurate for O so far & no errors for me yet.

i really like just regular old clear vlue digital okps. if you tend to ovulate fairly regularly, then i don't see a reason not to use the opks.
-
Hmmmm...I have never heard of those! I did a lot of research on opks and ended up getting the regular Clear Blue Easy Digital OPKS. I really liked how simple they were. I got a box of 20 for 35 dollars off amazon. I only used four and got a
my first month using them so they do their job!

@simplyfelicity: @MrsMcD: @GoGoSnoGirl: I know- I like the Clear Blue best myself. I didn't realize these were different when I bought them.
should I just chuck them? What a waste of money...
-
@travellingbee: just put them on the classifieds here... Maybe someone else will appreciate them??
-
@travellingbee: That does suck but @GoGoSnoGirl: has a good idea there. I have considered selling the 16 that I mentioned. Also, where did you get them? If from Walgreens or CVS, they will take them back. I may or may not have done that before.
-
@GoGoSnoGirl: @simplyfelicity: good idea but I've already started using them so I'll just suck it up. Got em on amazon. I'll just use them and verify with some wondfos. I've been charting and know I O around day 13 so I guess it's not that big of a deal but just annoyed at myself for not getting the right ones. Thanks!

@travellingbee: Just to reassure you, they do work
I got a "yes" show up the same day the fertility clinic told me "intercourse tonight" lol.
-
@travellingbee: Their customer service is pretty good, they may refund your money or send you a coupon you could use for frers at least.
-
@travelgirl1: nice! Good to know!
-
@Cole: Thanks- that's really good to hear! I think I'll stick with them though for this cycle.
