    about the online opks

     I'm thinking of buying a bunch of them..are they reliable?  I'd thought about buying the 'super value' pack where you have quite a bit of the opks and hpts too.  I can just as easily go to the Dollar Tree store and buy some there and not pay shipping.  So, anyone know which ones are better to use?  I have a little time, I think, before I'll need them, but I want to be prepared. :)

    Re: about the online opks

    I purchase the opk and hpt strips package from early-pregnancy-tests.com, as well as the softcups. I got my bfp in September, the first time using the softcups, but that ended in a chemical pregnancy. The hpt strips read my hcg when it was quite low.. Site says they read at 20. I've been using them for a couple of cycles now and haven't had any problems. As for the opk strips, I've missed BDing on O days because DH isn't here during the week, but at least I know when they are LOL

    I did the same thing as vavoom, so I think they work great.  I got a BFP on 10DPO with the HPT so I think they are pretty sensitive.

    Re: about the online opks

    No havent tried the $ storee ones...I got mind off of early-pregnancy-tests.com as well and they worked great! If you plan on testing 2x a day around O time then the $store tests can get pricey! I am sure they work fine though since their pregnancy tests are so sensitive.

     yep..think I'll buy some from that website.  I'm a little on the edge of my seat though b/c of the continued presence of the hcg in my system.  sighhhh...I think I'm gonna have to buy some more dollar tree store hpts just so I can see that darn line get darker..hopefully that is.  cross your fingers and say a prayer that they will dissipate real soon.  I want to move on!!! :)
