Heart Need help with OPK's

Ok I have never used an OPK before, and I am looking into ordering some from online. My next question is, where can I find good, and effective OPK's and pg tests? There are just so many of them, I dont know which ones to get. Has anyone ordered offline and been satisfied? Oh and just one more...which are easier to read and use, midstream tests or the strips you dip in the sample collection cup? Has anyone ordered any OPK's offline? If so please let me what website you ordered from and which ones you found the most effective. Thank you so much for your help.

I've found that OPKs in general, no matter what brand I get, are fairly difficult to read. The lines get to be close in color and then I wonder whether it's positive. I guess I need to just relax and feel confident calling them negative, because with the brand that I'm currently using, when it's positive, it's clearly positive. Anyway, I use OPKs and HPTs from this site: Ovulation Midstream Tests . They're inexpensive - much cheaper than drug stores - and they've been highly accurate in my experience. I just bought 20 OPKs yesterday and they shipped the same day (btw, shipping is free if you spend $14.95). I should get them tomorrow.

I've never used anything but the midstream so I couldn't tell you which is more accurate. Good luck!
