Wondfo OPK's

[Jules8]

Hello ladies! I was just wondering if anyone used the wonfo brand opk's and ovulated without getting a solid positive? Mine have been a shade lighter than the control line for over a week however yesterday I had my typical O pain on my left side, a temperature drop, and lots of ewcm but it still is not positive. We bd just in case, but I didn't know if anyone else has had this issue. If I do not conceive this month I am definitely switching with to the smiley ones..kind of frustrating!

I use wondfo opk and sometimes I know for sure that the test line is darker and that I ovulated. Other times I can't tell for the life of me! I ended up getting a digital test that tells me yes or no. Takes a lot of the guess work out of it!

Jules, I would suggest getting Wandfo as well as digital one. I used to use Wandfo till the last month where I got both - so when Wandfo starts showing positive(lighter) start using digital one, so you don't have to waste lot of digital ones every month. Hope that helps! Also, eating Pineapple core 5 days after ovulation helps as it promotes implantation. I did not have it 10 months I was trying and tried it in September and got a bfp, not sure was it because of that or just luck but no harm in trying.

I use digital and the wondfo. The wondfo's sometimes shows a shade lighter than the control line. When I compared it to the digital, they're both positive but the digital just tells you clearly. I use clearblue fertility monitor. It's a bit expensive but there are some tricks to not using up all the sticks if you google search for the tricks and its worth the investment over time. Last month, I just used the wondfo and even though the test line was lighter than the control, I knew I was opk+ without having to use the digital.

Thank you for the advice! I still have a lot of wondfo's but next month I will definitely get the digital to use as well. That is pretty interesting about the pineapple core... Does it taste gross?

I used wondfos for cycles 2-4. I always got a positive, but it was typically the day I ovulated! Not good for planning our timing. This cycle, I tried the Clear Blue Digital Advanced Ovulation Detector (or whatever the hell it's called, blinky and solid smiley one). That was cool, except I got "high" fertility in the middle of my cycle, then ran out of test sticks because I have looong cycles (the only way to get more sticks is to buy a completely new kit). I also used a different OPK from amazon: babi. At first, I hated the babis because they were always so faint, I never got lines like I did on the wondfos (even if they were negative, seeing a line was just reassuring). With the babi, though, I got two positive days, the second on the day when my cervix was the softest I've ever felt.

So I'd recommend a different brand if you aren't sure about the wondfos!

Also, pineapple: I've tried it two cycles now, having never eaten pineapple in my life. I find that I actually like the core more than the actual fruit part, although it can have a tough texture. It's recommended to eat 1/5 each day for the first five days after ovulation. Sidenote husband brag: The highlight of this cycle was when my husband brought me a bowl of pineapple, cut up neatly and vamped up with brown sugar, vanilla extract, a second vanilla flavored liquid, and some regular sugar. It was an awesome reminder of his support while we work at this baby thing!

Awww...that is a super sweet (no pun intended) gesture on his part! I have completelely cut out sugar which has been super hard, but I feel like it would be worth breaking my sugarfree streak if we get a baby out of it. It also sounds like a fun story to tell our child later on.lol

I have a super long cycle as well and it is always slightly off 2-4 days from the previous month so that makes it even more difficult. I figured the wondfos were a cheaper alternative, but only got that faded line every time. I started testing twice a day 2 days before my period ended so I can't see how I could have missed it. So either I didn't ovulate or the tests just aren't for me. I think I will try another cheapie brand and a 20 pack of the smiley clearblue ones net month along with vitex and the pineapple. Something has to work!!

I used to have pineapple - the entire one and I cut it into 5 pieces and put each piece in a smoothie and it tasted Yummy! all the best I wish lot of :babydust: on you ladies
