I like the clearblue smiley face. Easy to read (smiley = it's time. empty circle = not ready). The price depends on where you buy them and which country you are in. I got mine at Costco in Canada and paid $50 for 20 test strips. The $$ store ones are also very good, but you have to read lines (is the test line darker or equal to the control line)
Good luck

The clearblue advanced digital with smiley faces can be problematic. If you read peak fertility (solid smiley) you won't be able to test the next 2 days because the symbol stays on for that long. That's a problem when you get false positive results and need to continue testing. GL!

I love the clearblue with the smiley faces. I got the advanced with the blinky smiley for high fertility, solid for peak, and empty for low. I don't think they are hard to use at all. I bought two kits of 10 because then you get 2 monitors and that solves the pesky problem of not being able to test again after you get a solid smiley for 2 days. However, I temp too and I've NEVER gotten a solid smiley that was a false result. I always ovulate within 36 hours of the first solid smiley. That being said I did get some false "high" readings after I o'ed, but I turned out to be pregnant (ended in a cp, but that does explain the readings).

I use both the digital and the internet cheapies- honestly I prefer the cheapies- they do the same job as the expensive ones. But my internet cheapies have been positive when my digital is negative- and when my digital is positive the cheapies are negative. I have heard the cheapies are more reliable?

The wondfo strips (Aka "The cheapies") are horrible in my opinion. They were so hard to read, and took forever to get a line.
I use the Clear Blue Ovulation Predictor with the smiley faces. It makes it easy to tell yes or no. There's no uploading a photo and asking random strangers "Is this as dark as the control line, or just a little bit lighter?" - There's no guess work. Smiley face = sex.
