New to all this- Help with OPK's please!

I am new to all this and just starting the whole tracking process. Can someone tell me what the best type of OPK's to use? Is there a difference between the accuracy of the regular line sticks and the digital? There are so many brands and I don't know what to get! Thanks!

I have the Clear Blue Easy Fertility monitor. It is kind of expensive. You can get the monitor for about $100 on Ebay (that is the cheapest place to get it). A box of sticks can be purchased on Ebay for about $30.
I like it alot since it keeps your history. It tells you your low, high and peak fertility days.

The cheaper alternative is the Clear Blue Easy Digital OPK. Those come with 7 sticks in a box. They really get you because you may need to use more than 7 sticks. I like this one because it gives you a smiley face when you are ovulating and a circle when you are not. It is so much easy to read than the ones where you are reading 2 lines.
I found Ebay to be the cheapest place to purchase these also but they sell them everywhere also.

As for OPKs, I highly recommend the ClearBlue Easy Digital OPKs.

They show a smiley face if you are getting your surge and an empty circle if you aren't.

Do you know how long your cycles are? If you do, then you should be able to use only 1 box of OPKs each cycle.

i don't use the digitals - as i'm a live check to check girl...

i like the target brand ones - they're cheap but reliable!!!! And for something that (unless you get preggers right away) has to be bought month after month....that money adds up quick!
