Here is a great site:<br /> <a href="http://www.peeonastick.com/opkfaq.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.peeonastick.com/opkfaq.html</a> </p> <p>The test line must be as dark as, or darker than, the control line to be a positive result<br /> Sometimes it is hard to read the results of an OPK-- the test line looks almost the same as the control line, but you're not quiiiiite sure. Some brands develop "half-positive" results where only the edge of the test line is dark </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-563259 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 10:03:55 +0000 PurplePumps 563259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When it's just about the same color like the bottom one of @Thehistoryofus, is that considered a positive? I had that one day, then the next day was a very clear positive where it was much darker... so I wasn't sure what the same color means,.<br /> @littlek: I've always had two lines show up no matter when I tests. (I start testing about a week after my period ends) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-563191 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 09:28:55 +0000 Mrs.Someone 563191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: I could mean it, but it could mean nothing. I have a 2nd line just about any time I take an OPK, but it does get darker closer to O, then lightens up a lot just afterwards. Have you checked CM? Thats usually a good indicator to go along with OPKs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-563118 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 08:33:03 +0000 LindsayInNY 563118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LittleK - I'll keep you posted because I've had two faint lines for some time now but none dark enough to indicate O. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-563093 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 08:01:40 +0000 T.H.O.U. 563093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: From what I have heard, the change in the test line doesn't necessarily mean you are getting closer to O. But I am new to all this too! I do know that my test line went from stark white to a little color and then all of a sudden it jumped to really dark (positive). But then it went back down in color </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-563063 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 07:14:43 +0000 littlek 563063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I have a question. If you have two lines and its not as dark as control, does this mean you are getting close to ovulating? Or can two lines show up regardless? I took a test three days ago and only one line showed up. The past 2<br /> Days two lines have been showing up but not as<br /> Dark as control. Am I close to ovulating? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-552091 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 12:27:20 +0000 Vegmama 552091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: I'm hoping that's what it means too!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-551429 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:28:18 +0000 MrsCastro 551429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@VEGMAMA: not sure but, usually when my control line gets darker like that (your bottom OPK), it means I am starting my surge and am due to ovulate in the next day or two. I know every women is different but hope it helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-551206 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:53:17 +0000 mrs. bird 551206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@VEGMAMA: yes, thank god! he knows i do them, but if i start leaving cups of my pee lying around i think he might start to worry about my mental state =D i love your orange stripey tape, very nice!! looks like you have a busy night ahead of you ;) good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-551204 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:52:56 +0000 T.H.O.U. 551204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@VEGMAMA: very nice!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-551180 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:46:36 +0000 Vegmama 551180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.janedoe: Hahahaha ...

Ever. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-551168 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:42:29 +0000 Vegmama 551168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: Agreed. I tested earlier today and it was looking pretty negative. GAH! First month doing OPK and charting ... it's exciting. Hoping to see the temp shift tomorrow or Wednesday to be sure I'm ovulating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-551161 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:40:34 +0000 T.H.O.U. 551161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@VEGMAMA: it looks like you are close. One site I read that you may even want to test twice a day when you are that close. Oops just realized you are testing twice a day! Keep it up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-551156 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:38:11 +0000 Vegmama 551156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: Ha. So, did you make it home first? This whole process can be a bit embarrassing! Ha. I've peed on my hand like 3 times ... awesome. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-551153 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:37:11 +0000 Vegmama 551153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: That's so helpful!! Thank you. My results today look a lot like yours from yesterday ... Exciting to see them showing results.

So then I tested Friday until today when I got a positive. </p> <p>Top was yesterday's, bottom is today's at 5:30pm. </p> [attach=1506/13/mhrvi8.448x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-551006 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 19:05:48 +0000 mrs. bird 551006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7pm OPK </p> [attach=2301/13/mhruys.600x307.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-550888 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:36:28 +0000 mrs. bird 550888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's mine from this morning, the CBEFM also gave me a peak reading. And super embarrassing confession to go with it, I was so excited when I saw it that I went &amp; got my phone to take a pic before leaving for work... Then realized I forgot the little cup of pee on the edge of the bathtub! Hahaha, I have to try to beat DH home so I can flush it before he sees it :D I will do another one when I get home &amp; hopefully get a clearer pic. </p> [attach=2301/13/mhro2s.346x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-550857 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:09:52 +0000 Vegmama 550857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey ladies ... did you start testing a few days before expected O? I noticed my test line was a little darker yesterday than it is today, but O isn't until Thursday or Friday. When should I expect to see the line getting darker (or does it stay really light until the pos)? Thank you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-537521 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 18:33:18 +0000 QBbride 537521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved these strips. I got really obvious positives, so it took the guesswork out of it.</p> <p>The pregnancy tests are really good too! I got a squinted on there that was darker than the frer. Apparently their sensitivity is just as good as the frer! Impressive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-537294 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:40:54 +0000 spaniellove 537294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@VEGMAMA: I've had the dark/light dye issue too and when it's positive it'll still be as dark as the control! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-537278 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:35:43 +0000 JoJoGirl 537278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@VEGMAMA: Oh perfect! :) Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-537192 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:08:52 +0000 Vegmama 537192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: That's what I thought! I meant to say my ovulation window starts on CD 14 or 15 ... I actually O on CD 18 or 19. Just double checked on FF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-537151 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 15:55:58 +0000 JoJoGirl 537151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: I kept a stash of dixie cups in my desk drawer at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-537143 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 15:54:03 +0000 knittylady 537143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: I brought the little paper cups that I used at home. Then I'd take both in my purse. I HAVE heard of people using the pouch the test comes in though, but I was never brave/coordinated enough to try that out. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-537127 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 15:50:29 +0000 JoJoGirl 537127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@VEGMAMA: Yes :) you could get faint lines every day but they are negative until the control line is as dark or darker than the test line. Also if you usually O CD15, I would start testing before CD14 - they give you 24-48 hrs of notice of O, so you definitely need to start testing before that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-537116 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 15:48:11 +0000 Vegmama 537116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: What about when they are negative? I tested the other day (just for fun) at CD8 ... There was a dark control line and a very faint test line. I don't O until CD 15 or 16, so is it safe to assume that I can totally have 2 lines, but as long as the test line is lighter than the control, it's negative? </p> <p>I was just concerned, because I only tested that once. If a light line means my LH is rising, and will be positive soon, I would have missed O? </p> <p>The instructions included are not very clear. I was going to officially start testing on CD14. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-wondfo-strips#post-536783 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:04:33 +0000 spaniellove 536783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's easier to see the contrast when it's fresh...the dye turns darker after a while. </p> [attach=2312/13/mhgczm.600x361.opk110612a2.jpg]
