Own brand opks?

Anyone tried them? They are also being offered two for the price of one in my local Superdrug - but wondered if anyone had used them and found them good - or whether I should just bite the bullet and buy the more expensive branded kits like I usually do?
Also - am I being dumb here - is it 24-36 hours that the lines show up - or 12-24 - this could make quite a vital difference!!

I had well documented problems with the clearblue (non-digital) OPK where i kept gettign faint lines which confused me.

On Lissies advice I was about to try the digital version but then spotted the moderate-cheapskate offer on Boots own brand (non-digital) and they were perfect for me. That said when these run out i will switch to the clearblue digital. Now I know my days I will be using less of them anyway so cost will be less.

My conclusion is that own-brand ones are not any worse. Plus, if you are in the first few months of TTC or have an irregular cycle you may want to do loads more testing and own-brands do keep the cost down.

BTW I alsoways test at 2 even if I am at work. Then from the day before I think ov is going to happen i add in an 8pm test too.

I like the idea that it's clear and all done for you...hmm might go up to boots and see then. Have a fear that I may be misinterpreting and then all in vain!

If you have any more questions i would shout for Lissie - she is queen of OPK's.
