Reddit mentions of Wondfo Combo 40 Ovulation and 10 Pregnancy Urine Test Strips

Before starting fertility treatment, my cycle varied between 35 & 45 days, and due to this, it was very difficult to determine when I was 'late'. The anticipation killed me, especially when we first started TTC ...

I think the first time I was 'late', I went ahead and took a test (negative) and any time after that, I just waited an additional 5 - 7 days to see my period would show up (it always did). Once I got on fertility drugs, I was on a strict 28-day cycle so I knew that the one time I was late, it was for real (and it was)!

Go buy yourself a package of cheap Pregnancy & Ovulation Predictor tests from amazon. It'll save you a ton of money and you won't feel as guilty taking a pregnancy test "just in case."

GOOD LUCK - and don't get discouraged if it takes longer than a few months. These things come with time, patience, & a whole lot of FUN!

Firstly, I would read Taking Charge of your Fertility by Toni Weschler​. It goes over the basics (and more!) of charting your cycle so that you can tell when you are fertile. It will answer a lot of your questions. Even if you choose not to chart your temperature it'll give you a really good understanding of how your body works. It will also help you recognize when your cervical mucus indicates peak fertility. I would recommended charting though, it really helped my understand my inner workings and it's the only at-home way to confirm ovulation. If you decide to chart, have a look at Fertility Friend, an online charting app.

Wondfos are just a brand of cheap ovulation and pregnancy tests that can be bought via Amazon. They are really useful. I would definitely use them. The ovulation test strips (known as OPKs) here are often the easiest way to tell you're fertile. Here's a link.

Soft cups are disposable menstrual cups. Women use them after sex to keep semen as close as possible to the cervix for a longer period of time. Some women stay in bed with their hips elevated for the same reason. I can't comment on soft cups as I haven't used them.

Cough syrup is used to thin cervical mucus. This helps the sperm swim through it more easily. Usually, this is only used if your cervical mucus doesn't reach the fertile stage on it's own. Mucinex and Robitussin (the plain not the DM versions) are used. Honestly though, I wouldn't jump into using this stuff unless you've confirmed that you need it.

Another common aid here is PreSeed. It's a sperm-friendly lubricant that mimics your own fertile cervical fluids. Once again, you may not need this. Just remember that normal lube is not sperm friendly and can hurt your TTC chances.

My opinion is to try charting (temperature and cervical mucus) and OPKs. It's how I got my BFP quickly. I wouldn't bother with adding any extras just yet. Position and time of day don't matter. Although don't have sex more than once a day, it reduces sperm volume.

Good luck. If you have any questions, just ask.

Not what you were asking... but have you looked into getting Wondfos on Amazon? I was able to get a combo pack of Wondfo OPKs and HPTs for really cheap.

Good luck! I'm so jealous of people who say "we're trying for a baby" then next month, bam! These are the ones I used- http://www.amazon.com/Combo-pack-Ovulation-tests-Pregnancy/dp/B001FYLNVU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1407325952&sr=8-4&keywords=ovulation+test
Way cheaper than the packs you can find in stores, and good for a few months of regular testing. Actually, I should check the expiration on mine and maybe give them away on r/tryingforababy since um...don't need them at the moment and don't plan to add a second baby right to the family right away.

My best advice: Don't tell them. It's so much less stressful when you don't have someone jumping down your throat all the time when you may or may not get pregnant on the first try.
Best products I've found:

AWESOME price for the sensitivity. I absolutely love amazon.com.
Also, here's my blog for the TTC lady (or man lol)

My cycles have always been irregular, never had them go normal.

I will put in my 2 cents and tell you that if you really want to have a child, go visit your OB/GYN and tell them. If you've been trying to get pregnant for at least 3-4 months on your own, they will most likely prescribe you something like clomid to try. They may even give you progesterone to help regulate your cycles before you start clomid. Super cheap meds even without insurance.

Don't wait too much longer, it only gets harder for your body to have children as you approach 35. I started trying when I was 25, Ping ponging between doctors and a miscarriage later, I had my first when I was 31. Second when I was 33. I'd like to have one more, but I'm getting older and the last one was rough on my body.

My point is, if you end up needing more help like IUI or IVF, those things take time. Your 30 now, but you could easily be looking at having a child at 32.

Read the book Taking Control of Your Fertility. Really understand how the cycle works. The more you know about how it should work, how to predict and test your cycle, the better chance you will have of getting pregnant. Also, buy some cheap ovulation test kits. Test daily. Take your temp and chart it. FertilityFriend is very helpful.

Tested again today, still no LH surge. I've never been regular, so I'm going to keep testing every day until it shows up! If you're using expensive drug store type opks, I would highly recommend these: http://www.amazon.com/Combo-40-Ovulation-10-Pregnancy/dp/B001FYLNVU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330829689&sr=8-1

There are no bells and whistles attached, but they're easy to use, and a super great deal. I don't feel guilty about testing twice a day (if I'm feeling antsy). Good luck to you!

I read in the comments that you were using Clear Blue Easy strips. I got the cheapo's off amazon and it worked, but I got pregnant on the first month - I anticipated problems and had none - luckily. But I always feel like I caught a lucky egg and that it might not always be so lucky. Stay strong mama. Even though I got pregnant first month, I had implantation bleeding and I thought that I had my period and wow did I feel saddness. I couldn't imagine months of it. I hope your lucky egg comes sooner than later. Your positive attitude makes me think you are a terrific mommy and you deserve another bundle of joy soon.
