Opk question?

I plan on using one next month. I was just curious if there are any major differences between the line ones and the smiley face ones? I would rather it be as easy as possible with no confusion as to whether one line is as dark as the other. Wasn't sure if one was more sensitive or "better" than the other? Thoughts?

For me, my +s are easy to figure out, but a lot of the ladies here use the digis to confirm a + on a Wondfo.

I like the wondfo's. they are sensitive, easy to read and cheap. It did take a cyle or two to get familiar w/ my body and what is positive and "almost positive", but it is worth it because of price.

I really like the wondfos. I've had to post on here to ask about a positive twice, I think, but otherwise I've had no problem identifying positives. They're way cheaper than the smiley face monitors, so that's why I use them.

Some people have a hard time telling a true positive on a wondfo and the digital smiley ones will either be yes or no so no guess work is needed.

I had a hard time the last couple months telling if I had a true positive on a wondfo so picked up some digitals to test the same urine I thought was close and got a positive on the digital when I had a wondfo that I thought was close but wasn't sure.

If you're not on a regular O schedule, you might end up using a ton. That's why I like the Wondfos, because its not as expensive when I use 20 of them each cycle.

Exactly. I use 10-20 per cycle depending on when I ovulate.

I used the digital smiley face ones when I got pregnant with DD. This time I'm using the Wondfos because they are much cheaper and I could test more being I just had my IUD removed. I caught my surge this month with a Wondfo.

I prefer the smiley face ones to take the guessing out of it. Since my cycles are pretty regular I typically will only use a max of 3 per month. If I had to test more often I'd for sure switch to the cheaper ones.
