Hi Tink

My advice would be: go for Clear Blue digital ones (if you can afford them). They are rather expensive (£23 for 7!) but in my opinion, they are worth it as personally I found reading the "normal" ones really hard (is the second line REALLY darker than the first one? Is it as dark as it would go? I never knew!). With the digital ones you either get a smiley face (positive result) or a round (negative result). It's very clear.

Personally I actually bought a Clear Blue Monitor and I am glad I did as it took me a year to get my BFP after a MC. The monitor costs £99 but once you have made that initial purchase, the test sticks themselves are cheaper than digital OPKs (they are about £20 for 20). I think some ladies also got second hands monitors off Ebay for a lot less than £99 so you could try that too.

HTP - good luck! x

Have you any other signs that you are ovulating? I know you said you want High St tests but I got mine off babymad.com and they have always been v accurate.
