I've only used Clearblue OPKS. This time around I'm using "Advanced" one gives you FOUR days. Two days when your hormones rise and once you get a solid smiley you have the next two days to *get ur freak on* b/c you're ovulating.
What do you use? Did you get preggers after correct use too?

I used the regular Clear Blue, and actually the ONE month that they did't work (I got two error messages, and never got a smiley) was the month I got pregnant!

Wondfo's here. I test way too often for anything else. I've only used them a few months (the cycle I had a m/c and last month's bfn).
When I got my BFP with DS, I was NTNP.

I always used wondfos... and double checked my positives with a clear blue digi.

I am using these now and they work but I get blinking smileys for like 3-4 days not 2. 
Eta: I have wondfos too and use those in the afternoon when I think I'm getting close.

@travellingbee: when I had the regular Clearblue I would test twice a day to catch my spikes. This time I'm relying on mornings only. We will see.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I think you'll still catch it no problem but you might get the end of the surge. I start my surge late afternoon at like 5pm so my CBA is positive the next morning.

I used Wondfos and the regular ClearBlue digital together (it was my first month using OPKs and I wanted to make sure I was reading them right). I got my BFP that month!
I chose the regular CB tests over the advanced as I'd heard of people getting 8-10 or more days of flashing smiles. That would drive me crazy!

I use Wondfos and CBFM. I'm glad I had wondfos because the CBFM crapped out one last month during O week (turned on/off, didn't ask for a test even though it was my usual peak day). Anyway, will use both again this cycle!

I've used the CB advanced for two months and kind of hate them. Both months, I got two days of blank circles and then an immediate solid smiley. No blinky. I tried starting earlier in month two to give it more of a baseline, but still no blinky.

I just started using the Wondfo ones this cycle. I actually bought them around CD 30 or so, when I wasn't getting a temp shift, figuring I'd need them for next cycle, but couldn't help trying them out when they came. And I caught my LH surge. They were really easy to use/see the positive, and they are really inexpensive too, so I don't mind using them for my long cycles.

I used the regular Clear Blue and the last two months I got 4 solid smileys in a row (I tested morning and night). It's suppose to give you 2 days of solid smiley so I have no clue if it's defective or if I have the longest surge ever. So confused!

I just ordered the ClearBlue OPKs to use for my next cycle because everyone on here says they are so easy to use. What is the best time of day to test? If you do it in the afternoon, does that mean you bring them with you to work?

@Bluemasonjar: I did mine at about 2pm until I could tell my surge was imminent (I was using Wondfos and CB digital together) and then added in a morning test. And yes - I took them to work and did it in the bathroom!

I've been using Babis (I like them better than wondfo, and they're still cheap) and am confirming with the simple CBE digitals. I test twice a day with the cheapies, and when I think it looks positive, confirm with a CBE. That way I only use one or two of the more expensive ones a month.

I used wondfos, bought a ton of them off amazon and got pregnant my first cycle so I ended up donating the rest to my friend

Wondfo's only. Anything else is just much too expensive to bother with for me. I can O anywhere from CD18-28 and sometimes more, so I'm peeing on way too many sticks to not stick with cheapie wondfos.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I use the Clearblue Advanced. The first cycle that I used then I went immediately from blank circle to solid smiley with no blinking smiley in between. I ended up getting a BFP. Unfortunately it didn't stick. I'm trying them again and this time I am on day 3 of blinking smiley and it's driving me crazy! I better get a solid tomorrow!

I'm using wondfos again. I used them with my DS and it did the trick, so hoping it helps again this time!

Also, as others have said, I O later in the cycle and my cycles can be irregular, so I like the wondfos since they're cheap and I can pee on them a lot.
