Wonfos

[lifesaverz]

Hi ladies! Just a quick intro before my question. So my DH & I are just starting on TFAS. I was on TTGP back on TD my first time around & found it super helpful. Some background on me, I have PCOS so my cycles do vary a bit, although they've been a lot better since I had my first LO. Now that we're TTC again I'll probably pop in & out around here a bit, & am excited to get to know people!

So my question is, how accurate are people finding Wonfo OPKs to be these days? I used them last time around & they were right on, but as of currently, my temp chart is showing that I O'd, but I never got a +OPK. I'm wondering if maybe their quality has gone down.

Welcome!

Where did you purchase the Wondfos? There are a couple retailers on Amazon that sell fake Wondfos, check the newbie blog for a list of legit Amazon sellers. Also, I just started using OPKs because my cycles are starting to regulate, but I know PCOS can mess with the accuracy of OPKs. I think some of the other ladies might be able to provide more info and I know the Wondfo instructions mention it as well. Good luck!

Thanks! I did purchase on Amazon, I'll definitely check out the blog for legit sources then. What a bummer that people sell fake ones! :/

Welcome! I've never used Wondfos so I can't help you there.

Welcome! Wish I could be of help - I rarely ever got a positive OPK but I suspect my LH surges were just short and I would miss the window.

[requiressnacks]

Welcome! I've never actually turned a wondfo positive so I just started using digitals. But, a lot of the ladies here use them and like them. I also think an important part of wondfos is using your second morning urine and sometimes testing a few times per day.

Hey, welcome! I also have PCOS, but I've never gotten a positive OPK with Wondfos, so I'm not sure what to tell ya. Perhaps your hormone balances are lower than before your LO and there's not enough LH concentration to turn one positive? Dunno if that's actually scientifically sound, but hey, there it is.

+1, your body changes after a pregnancy.

Welcome! We are also TFAS. I used wondfos last time with great success and just started using them this cycle again so we will see! Best of luck to you!

Welcome! Fellow PCOSer here, good luck with your second TTC journey! You give me hope that it is attainable

Welcome & GL TFAS!

I have used Wondofs off/on and managed to get a positive nearly every time. I'll second PP's and say make sure to check the retailer on Amazon and it's best to use second morning urine and test two or three times a day.

Welcome! I use Wondfo OPKs and turn them positive every month. I haven't had any issue.

[texteachmom]

Welcome!

I use Wondfos every month and they turn positive for me. I didn't use them for dd, but mine stay positive for a day and a half to two days usually. Remember to use second morning pee and once again in the late afternoon as you get closer to O. Sometimes as I get really close to O, I'll use another before bed if I remember and it's really late at night.

Good luck!

Welcome! I also have had good luck with wondfo opks. I'm a bit neurotic and usually confirm with a digital opk as well.

[ceejay]

Welcome and good luck!

I have had good luck with Wondfo OPKs and get positives every month. But everyone has different levels of LH in their bodies, so you may still be ovulating without having technically "positive" OPKs.

[gabride2010]

Welcome! I have PCOS too, but we are TTA, so I haven't used any OPKs yet.

[lifesaverz]

Thanks for all the welcomes! I had never heard to use second morning urine so that's good to know - I've been using FMU up til now. I remember last time I got a +OPK for a few days in a row, so that's why it seemed odd that I didn't get one this time. I checked & it looks like they're from legit Amazon sources, so that's good. I'll probably try my luck now with using SMU/testing more than once per day, or maybe even get some digis too.

If I can give hope to other people with PCOS I definitely want to! I can't even tell you how emotional I was last time around. It ended up taking 8 months, which isn't bad, but my cycles were pretty bad back then, I only had 4 in that amount of time, one of which was induced by Provera. Now my cycles vary quite a bit less. Best of luck to everyone trying, I'm rooting for you all!

ETA to add I checked the Amazon source & it's legit

Welcome! I don't use the wondfo's but have good results with the OPK's sold at Dollar Tree. I'll be TFAS later this year. Good luck to you in your second TTC journey!

I can't speak to Wondfos specifically but I bought Clinical Guard brand ones off of Amazon and they worked for me the two last cycles. I have heard that PCOS can cause some trouble with getting a good enough surge for OPKs. I also have PCOS and TFAS. This time around, I have had more luck with the OPKs than last time. Just my experience, for whatever it is worth.

Welcome! I used Wondfos the first time around but haven't taken them out for TFAS yet; I also have PCOS. Maybe it's a faulty batch or you gear up to O but really O on a different day?
