Cinss, Clomid is generally used by women with annovoluatory or irregular cycles. The doctor your friend saw is right, OPKs only indicate if you are having a surge not whether the surge will actually cause ovulation. I think the majority of people that get a LH surge will ovulate though so I don't know why the doctor would make your friend feel silly for using them.
I used to get a lot of false positive OPKs on Clomid as well so if you don't have monitoring when you take Clomid it can sometimes be hard to predict what CD O will be on.

PoP-if the two line test was positive then I would say its positive, I wouldn't worry about the smiley face, maybe the two line test is more sensitive. I used the smiley face ones and one month it gave me a false positive so maybe you had a couple bad ones. Guys can be so stupid, your DH should be happy he's getting some I mean jeez they complain when they don't get any now he's getting a lot he should be happy
I think you have a great chance this month, you have a great number of attempts in

Pop I wonder if the digi tests were just funky? I had a similar thing happen the month I conceived. I had my Wondfo tests go from the two lines being equal one day, the next day the test line was DARKER, and then the next day negative; all the while, I was also using a box of some other brand of OPKs (can't remember the brand, but it was a reputable one like Clear Blue Easy or something) and they NEVER got positive. I think the box was just crappy, because I obviously ovulated! I would go with the test that gave you a positive. Hope that this is your month!!

Pop I think the 2 lines is a good sign... I haven't used the smiley test but my Clearblue monitor sometimes didn't trigger until after the OPK had already picked up a surge. I would watch your temps and see what they do.
Remember this is your no-stress go round
sorry about your DH being grumpy about all the lovemaking... Just tell him to enjoy it while it's hot!!!!
I think you have gotten some good attempts in this cycle
