Lord knows I have used many ovulations kits in the past. I found that the Clear Blue with the smiley face is the way to go. I got tired of trying to compare lines with the others. This one gives you a circle if your not and a smiley face if you are. Good luck.

I also thought the Clear blue easy digital was the best- (I have used... I couldnt count how many different brands) they are more expensive but there is NO GUESSWORK involved and paying out of pocket I couldnt keep affording to be saying "hmmm is that a line, it looks like a line, is the line darker, the same" blah blah..the extra cost was well worth it and knowing exactly what days- I would start testing on day 9 and usually get my "smiley" on day 14 or 15- if I was running low on cash I would use some cheapies for the first coupla days (I would neve ovulate that early) but wanted to make sure I would have the digital for the end (I had a tendancy to sometimes ovulate later) Anywho, Good LUCK!!!

I agree with Clearblue Easy Digital (smiley face/no smiley face) is the best way to go. A little more expensive, but fool proof.
