Question What's the prefered OPK brand?

My new RE wants me to use the OPK's to determine ovulation for IUI. I've used different brands and get different results. What is the most trusted brand for use with Clomid?

My RE recommended Clear Blue Easy....they now have a digital which makes it nice to not have to determine if the blue line you want to see is really darker than the control line.

Hi Kim

Hi Kim,
I used a bunch of different kinds and the only one I could truly read without question was the clear blue easy digital- (smiley face or not was very simple) all the others I used I would be sitting there- is that line darker or lighter is there two lines or is that one there two and just faded..(my God I drove myself insane)- Definately get the clear blue digital and save yourself the agrivation..lol Good luck- (I always seem to ovulate on day 14 or 15- I never would have known using the other brands)

With my 1st IUI my RE wanted me to use Clearplan, however I am a dork and thought she said Clearblue, so that's what I used...and well it worked regardless. This month I am using FRE (no IUI, just want to see if my body is wacked becuase of the miscarriage), not sure if I like it yet!
