So my SO and I are probably starting TTC next month and I have been thinking I really need to get some type of OPK but I have had a hard time even tracking my ridiculous cycles lately. Any ideas on which type to buy. I've read through
some old posts but also trying to figure out how many I should buy is something I'm a bit confused on. Any help is greatly appreciated!

If you are using cheap dip strips like Wondfos or Babis the cost per test goes down a lot as you buy in bigger bulk. Hopefully you'll get lucky in your first month of TTC, but buying a huge stash of OPKs means you don't run out or change brands mid cycle if o is late.

We used Wondfos and tested 3x/day!

I use Wondfos and tested 2-3 times a day for 10 days the first couple months. Now that I have a better idea of when I ovulate, I only use 1-2/day for about 5 days a month.
I bought a pack of 100 in January and have about 10 left. (but I am a POAllTheSer
so if you're not, you might not need that many!)
-
I used Wondfos and tested sporadically--sometimes once a day, sometimes twice, sometimes accidentally missed a day. (I wouldn't recommend my technique, but the Wondfos worked fine for me!) I think 2 - 3 times a day is best, but I was having wild cycles post-MC and would have used about ten thousand of them if I had tested multiple times a day religiously.
Good luck on your journey!

I used Wondfos and usually got them off Amazon or Ebay, they have packs of them! I usually got one that had 20 or 30. That would last me a month or two depending on how often I was testing!
-
I just bought 1 box of the Target brand ones. There were 10 and they were enough for me that cycle since I wasn't testing every single day (you can check out my FF chart in my profile). Best of luck!

I used Wondfos from amazon and tested 1-2 times a day. Good luck!

@sunset840: I use the digital ones with the smiley face because the others are so hard to decipher.
-
I use wondfos and only test once a day starting at 11 or 12 dpo.
-
I use Clear Blue digital with the smileys. (Not advanced). I have cycles that range anywhere between 31 to 35 days, so I start testing once a day in the afternoon around CD 12. I could probably wait until CD 13 or 14 to save on test strips, but I like testing earlier just in case I O early.
A box of 20 strips has lasted me approx. 3 months.
so if you're not, you might not need that many!)
Good luck on your journey!
