I currently use a clear blue easy monitor but picked up some of the ones at the dollar tree today. I just wanted to see how it could compare to my monitor. Who here uses these? Do you find them to be accurate? I'm paying ALOT for 30 OPKs with my monitor (usually around 50.00)

I have tried them and never got a pos opk. I think Cara uses them and she likes them...I'm sure she'll pipe in! ;)
I was thinking about getting the clear blue easy monitor...hhhmmm. I might just try the clear blue digital opk.

Well the selling point of the monitor is that it can hold 6 months worth of data. Then it's supposed to be able to detect smaller LH surges in your system...that said...who knows if it's working. It shows that I'm O'ing but who knows...this is why I wanted to do a little bit of a back up test w/o shelling out alot of $.
We will see!

I have used both (admitedly I only used the monitor for a couple months). The $Tree ones were awsome for me. Very accurate and better then the monitor. Every woman is different. But I swear by the $Tree OPKs, and they work as HPTs as well. I can show you pictures if you want.

You used an OPK to test for PG? too funny.
Susan, I say for the cost...give them a try. I'm cramping today and can't figure out why...I'm only cd6...i swear I just want normality or no cycle...lol ;)

I haven't used them myself. I have read on the internet that you can get a positive OPK when your pregnant but to trust a HPT first.

I have used the $ Tree OPKs and they seem to work pretty well for me. I do not get a blaring pos when using them, but I usually get a pretty strong test line.
I prefer to use the Assure brand OPKs from www.conceptiontechnologies.com and although they are pricey they have been right on target for me with my Clomid cycles. My OB highly recommended them and they were recommended to her by the REs at Presby Dallas.
