I'm looking for exactly what the question asks. Where do you get your pee sticks?! Also what brand and why?
I have aprox 7 days till I start using opks so I needs something that will get here quickly.

I mostly used the cheap wondfo sticks from Amazon. Like a billion for $20. But they can be a PITA to read.

Like @futuremrsmck, I ordered mine from Amazon. You can get a pack of OPKs and Pregnancy tests (Wondfo), and they can be confusing, ESP. the OPKs.

I use my flexible spending account with my insurance and buy the FRER's and digital opk's at Target. But I'm pretty conservative on my usage of FRERs to only if AF is late.

I order Wondfos from Amazon, and only from certain sellers like Formosa Medical, because I've gotten burned by iffy sellers.

I haven't had very good luck with the cheap sticks I grabbed from Walgreen, like the Wondfos, I always end up getting the digital ones to confirm. The sticks usually show a line then go stark white right when I think I'm ovulating.
Are there cheap digital tests I can snag online?

@Sugar.Biscuit: Hmm...if anything, Wondfo OPKs get darker but hard to interpret as a glaring positive, not stark white. If your OPKs are white when you think you're ovulating, either you were using a really off off brand or possibly not ovulating when you think you were. Were you able to get a positive with digitals when those other tests had no second line?

@Sugar.Biscuit: OMG don't use that brand again!
This is what works really well for me: test 1-2x/day with these:
http://www.amazon.com/Wondfo-Step-Ovulation-Strips-50-Count/dp/B004IJHDN6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&m=A2ILM41MTRJ78H&qid=1367240143&s=generic&sr=1-3
Then when it seems close to positive, back up with these:
http://www.amazon.com/Clearblue-Digital-Ovulation-Test-Count/dp/B002VLYAOI/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=37QJWKK9UQ0TQ&coliid=ISTHUXJGYC2W5

I got the Wondfos from Amazon, and then picked up a couple cheapie HEB brands. I was glad I had both, because the Wondfos can be real squinters at first!

Wondfo ones from Amazon. It comes in a combo pack with quite a few HPT also.
