Trouble TTC

OPK'S suggestions?

I just had my last tests done now onto trying for this lil one. My doctor told me today to start looking at OPKs and im just not sure which brands or the best, and she said once I pick one to stick with it so I could use some advice on which ones everyone uses.

Thank You in advance

    I use Wondfo... they are dirt cheap and can be found on Amazon!

    Ditto!  If you go with a dip strip kind, get a box of small Dixie bathroom cups too.

  • I have a 1/2 pack of wondfos that I don't use. I don't ovulate on my own, so opks turned out to be a massive pain for me. I would gladly donate them if I knew how.
    Good luck with whatever brand you use!

    Same here.  I don't know why I torture myself with continuing to use them.

  • snegde  I'm sorry for what you've been going though (((hugs)))

    While we are talking about OPKs...I was wondering if you could tell me if - when you were using the Target and Wondfos (the formula I'm using) - if your Wondfos gave you a + one day before your Target ones.   I agree that they are harder to read, but once I get a + it is pretty clear to me...but my Targets seem to give the double line one day after the Wondros and also are still + one day later than Wondfos.  Wondering if you have any insight into this being the case.   (My guess has been that the Targets are just slightly less sensitive, but I really don't know.)  
  • You guys have me totally confused
  • I want to do a reasonably priced one because oh how many I believe I have to use and the clear blue ones are quite pricy for that reason. I've never done this before and I dont want timers it up and waste time
  • I use Wondfo's because they are cheap. I have a clear blue easy digital (with the smiley face) that I use to confirm.

    I have no problem telling my positive on the Wondfo so I rarely use the CBE.
    Fucking bump!!!!
  • snegde  thanks! 

    ktupiak I test everyday from CD 4 until I get a + OPK and a temp rise.  This month I did both Target and Wondfo brands everyday (just as a side by side geek comparison).  Normally I only do Wondfos, which have been reliable for me.  I think that sticking to one brand is good advice.  I just did two brands this month out of curiosity (I've been only using wondfos for over a year.)  I'll probably go back to just Wondfos.
