I forgot to read the whole article before posting. This article also has VERY USEFUL information about the OPKs... It looks like a lot of them aren't very good at all!!!

It is annoying that the best ones are so expensive. $18 for 2 is a lot especially if you are testing a couple times a cycle.

Yay! I use First Response. I used it for ovulation too. When I tried the CVS brand (trying to save $$) it did not work as well.

I think when I was using the OPKs I went from the First Response in the beginning then to the CVS brand and then I was using some brand that might have been all in Spanish b/c I was soo sick of spending the $$. Now with HPTs, I started with the expensive digitals ones and then down graded but based on this artcile I think i will just spend the $$ and get the good one.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
