Opk's?

MamaCoffin · January 2016

I'm about to order wondfos from Amazon. I've seen them mentioned before.

What type are you using and where did you get it?

I just want to be sure I'm not throwing money away, even though they are cheap.

Thanks!

I started wondfos this cycle, and so far they have done nothing but make me BSC. On CD 16 and no true positive yet. Just a mixture of barely there lines, no lines whatsoever, and one almost positive three days ago (still haven't had a temp spike yet).

I got a pack of 50 OPK & 20 HCG Wondfos on Amazon. Both have worked great for me. I haven't tried more expensive digital OPK so don't have anything to compare for you.

The Wondfo OPK do require you to interpret if the test line is as dark or darker that the control for + but I haven't found that to be too challenging.

Wondfos from Amazon. Make sure you get them from an approved seller though! There are Wondfo imposters out there...

I've been using the Wondfo OPKs since August 2015 and so far I've only had 1 cycle where I never got a positive. And to be fair it was the first time I O'd after my MC and my hormones were all kinds of wonky. Plus, I think I may have given up too soon on testing.

I hadn't had any trouble with them apart from some confusion over when to count the OPK positive. I don't ever really get test lines darker than the control line so I do a lot of "that looks as dark as the control line to me.... I think? Maybe it's a smidge lighter?"

Also, @PeggyOlsonFTW made an excellent point that there are a lot of fake Wondfos out there so you need to make sure you're buying from an approved seller on Amazon. Here is the list as per the Wondfo website:

Authentic Wondfo USA product can be purchased on Amazon from these authorized sellers: iFast, Ding!, TEST `A-SURE, Easy@Home, IN-N-OUT, USHealth Tests and Products, Formosa Medical LLC, Fairview Mart

I've never used another brand of OPK for comparison purposes so I can't say if Wondfos are better/worse than another brand.

What @PeggyOlsonFTW and @NamelessAria said. I've been using Wondfos, which I like bc they are cheap. I can test 3-4 times a day without worrying about cost. I do have the problem where they get almost but not quite positive, so I'm thinking about using Wondfos next cycle to clue me in to a possible surge and then confirming with a clear blue. Either way, it's good to be temping at the same time as confirmation.

@jenmlangtake2 I was wondering the same thing - thanks @NamelessAria for the approved list of sellers - I have some in my amazon cart and just double checked the seller (it is an approved one).

I'm also thinking of upgrading/replacing my thermometer (though I don't know that I need to) because I've got temperatures all over the place (which makes sense given my MC was less than a month ago). I'm trying to make myself wait for my first AF and if things don't stabilize then I'll get another one. It is just that the cost of shipping a Mabis thermometer is nearly as much as the thermometer itself and I hate funding Canada Post... I would pick one up in store, but I figure I might as well get the one that others here on the board like. I could get free shipping if I get the thermometer and Wondfos at the same time.

@strickland8051, BSC - is that short for bat S crazy?

PeggyOlsonFTW · January 2016

@catiecatp Do you have a Walmart near you? The ReliOn is the same as the Mabis and what Walmart carries.

catiecatp · January 2016

@PeggyOlsonFTW - thanks - we do have a Walmart and quite close by but we're in Canada so it might be a different line of products - plus I think DH would likely rather pay the freakin' shipping than support Walmart. But I'd get it faster so I might bite the bullet and go see what they have.

MamaCoffin · January 2016

Thanks everyone! This was super helpful.

strickland8052 · January 2016

@catiecatp - yup! BSC is bat S crazy

PeggyOlsonFTW · January 2016

@catiecatp My DH is the same way. Hates Walmart with a fiery passion!

strickland8052 · January 2016

Retraction: I finally got a positive OPK today on CD 19. Due to CM and looking back at past charts, I think I just O really late... I guess we'll see if I get a temp spike in the next couple of days. I got all mad at OPKs when I shoulda been mad at my own Ute for O'ing so late.

MrsBinPA · January 2016

@strickland8052 I did the same thing a few months ago
