one is CLEARLY much darker than the other, yes?
the catch... they were both taking at the same time, using the same cup of pee!!!
so this is what i was afraid of.. the whole rule of "has to be as dark, if not darker than the control line" rule.. im afraid to mistake a test that is actually positive, but not going by the rule of thumb!!!
ugh, all this work is so hard!

Yes, but what was the time difference between when you took each test and also when you looked at the results? Did you dip both at the same time? This can make a difference. The bottom one is def darker - did you hold one in longer than the other?

nope i dipped them at the exact same time.. i held them as if they were one test and dipped them just the same!!
i had kept getting messed up tests where the dye would stay in the testing zone instead of leak to the end.. so i dipped both at the same exact time just incase one of them was another jank test!

Have you double checked to make sure you don't have a defective lot of tests? I know Wondfo had some recalled tests fairly recently. That type of thing has never happened to me using their tests!

Ditto the recalled test. There are different amounts of dye in each test but that's too big of a difference. I honestly think you have a defective lot of tests.

Agreed. Amazon sells Wondfo brand OPKs which I love, as well as HPTs, and they're only something like 18-25 CENTS per stick. I've been using Wondfos for months now and I'll never go back to any other brand. Good thing we're here to keep them in business

I'm a wondfo gal myself. Gotta love the cheapies even though, as Natasha just proved, they might not be the most reliable...

Ugh that has to be so frustrating. I use the wondfo brand as well and don't have any issues. Here is what I have been buying.

If it makes you feel any better, my OPKs are all over the place until I get a positive. I think for some they get progressively darker, but not for me.

they seemed to have been progressively getting darker.. but then this was like.. what the... i took two more again this AM and they were dark like the bottom one above here! so god knows.. i've been getting more CM so maybe i am near!? i duno lol.. i've sort of just stopped caring now thats how frustrated i am with these lol
with that said.. i was refunded...they said that these ARE wondfo tests, and that the company is allowed to change the colors of the tests without notice and Wondfo allows them to put their own company name on the packaging... eh, okay!? lol
