Hey ladies

For all of you that have had positives on OPK's can you tell me which ones you have tried?

I have brought the strip ones from ebay (green ends) but its hard to do when you have to dip them as i'll be at work during the day when i need to test

Has anyone used the ebay ones that are midstream and have purple ends? do they work?

Dont wanna spend a fortune on clearblue ones yet as not sure when i will Ov next month....and i need to try doing 2 a day to see a pos as i've never seen them work before....not even a faint line

Thanks

I just used the strip cheapie ones, its so hard when your out and about during the day to use them, I was lucky to have had my day off work fall on ov day when i tested. I would get the midstream ones hon. They are a little more expensive, but they do the trick! Plus you can take them to work with you! xx

I use cheapie ones off ebay. I've never had a BFP before either, only a faint line. I'm assuming i haven't done enough tests to actually catch a positive. Because your working and don't have alot of time i'd go with the midstream ones. Personally i've never used them ones, but they do the same thing as the cheapies. Goodluck in getting a BFP hun!

Personally I would not use midstream, I find them far more unreliable. An option would be buying some of those paper collection cups, that way you can do the dipping at work and then dispose of it. Alternatively you can casually drag your coffee mug to the stall pretending you're absent minded I guess I'm just lucky, I'm the only woman at work and I've often forgot wrappers or even OPKs on my desk and none of the guys here had any fleeting thought about what it could have been!

Lol....oh dear looks like i may have to be the weirdo that takes cups to the toilet with me....so annoying lol

Thanks

Alexandra

Just make it a habit to take it everywhere and soon enough they'll see it as an extension of your arm and think nothing of it!

I use the cheapie opks from earlypregnancy.com but ordered them from Amazon. It is a good deal. You get 20 opks and 5 cheapie hpts for $15.00US. I got a positive this cycle. I have used store bought opks before and had lots of trouble with them, but that all could have been my fault. I also like poas midstream too, the cup is just annoying and I get paranoid that I am dipping for too long.

With all the BDing you have done Bird, I wouldn't even worry about opks
