wondfo opks
Is anyone a consistent wondfo opk user? I have used them in the past and thought they worked pretty well for me. I started using them last week and they have been staying/drying dark, sometimes positive. So I found a sheet with directions and it says to read results after 5 min and if you read later it can cause a false positive. So now I'm wondering if I've been driving myself crazy thinking these are staying positive. They have all been really dark at 5.min prob but possibly not positive.
pic is at 5 min then at 30 min

I have noticed that there's a new set of directions lately. I don't know if htey're making them any different or if just the directions are different. Interesting that they seem overall darker, that makes me suspicious of them too.

Hey Atomic. So again, not sure if or when I ovulatedbut can you just check out my BD pattern to see if I am covered . Like is every 4d Sun then Wed or Sun and then Thurs. What are the actual chances of conception from O+3?

For best odds of conception you do e4d Sun/Wed. For best odds of pink, lower odds of conception, do it in the Sun/Thurs (but I think you should be on Sun/Wed)
I honestly can't tell from your chart if you were in with a good attempt because I am not sure when you ovulated in relation to those BD. Just not enough temps for me.
O-3 is not great odds of conception so that's why we would have you BD again on O Day in that scenario. The thing about e4d is, it's not only about being in with attempt on a particular day in relation to O. It's because many MANY times people are incorrect about when they Oed and so they'd go on forever thinking they were really doing O-1 when they were really doing O-3 or O+1...does that make sense?? We don't want you in with O-3 attempt per se, we want to introduce some randomness into the mix and by BD every 4 days we can luck our way into a well timed attempt when if we tried to micromanage, we very well may end up BD at totally the wrong time (and this does happen to people all the time).

Yes I totally understand. thank you. As far as temps go...it just isn't working right now with baby waking. I'm usually awake laying there for a bit before I can actually temp. It's so hard with these opks so I cant confirm O at all....sigh.
.
Just trying to keep up with e4d as best I can

I completely understand - I have whole years there with only the fuzziest memories due to babies waking in the night - becuase once I wake up, I can't sleep! So exhausting!!!
Any chance of the nightime temping? Less reliable, but you often can still see the pattern.

I can definitely try. Would it have to be the same time? laying still?
Hello, Atomic hopefully you will see this! It has definitely been a while. I am not TTC, my cycles have been MIA for over a year, I'm quite certain. I have not been charting but haven't had it....
Not sure where to ask not TTC
