I suggest the ClearPlan Easy Fertility Monitor. Its expensive but talk
about accurate! It took me over a year to conceive my son, and never
knew if the OPK's were right or not. TWO CYCLES with the monitor. My
baby is measuring one day behind LMP dating which is absolutely correct,
since I know that he wasn't conceived until day 16. You can get a used
one off e-bay, and probably test sticks (new of course!) too. Good
luck.
