5.0 out of 5 stars Cheap, accurate, early test

b. · January 1, 2013

I have been buying these for the past (almost) 2 years. Originally I bought them after I had my third child to take monthly while I was nursing because I wasn't having menstrual cycles but wanted to know early if I became pregnant. These were great for that purpose because they are so inexpensive and you can purchase them in "bulk" (I would consider 20 tests pretty bulky--if you only use one per month, you're covered almost the whole time you're nursing and for any extra tests you end up taking). Unfortunately, I didn't actually know how accurate the tests were, so whenever I had odd symptoms I second-guessed and spent the extra money on regular tests at the grocery store. So, at the time for checking for pregnancy when I wasn't "trying" to become pregnant, they were a good investment.Now, however, I would say that these are excellent tests. I will upload a customer photo later, but as of today, I have had increasingly darker lines on the tests, starting with six days before my cycle was due. The first positive was very, very faint, but still visible. I would say that six days early constitutes an early result. The tests work quickly, I like that they are small and discreet (kids don't find them and think it's a thermometer). I have had no issues ever with the urine not moving along the strip quickly and well. I have never seen evaporation lines. I have not had things confirmed by the doctor yet, and it is still very early, but if the point is to detect HCG and detect it early, I highly recommend these!Great for obsessive testers, moms-to-be who just like to see one more "positive" no matter how many she's seen, anyone TTC who wants extras on hand, anyone not TTC to wants to know early on (like nursing moms) so they can start taking care of themselves and their new babies as soon as possible. Cheap enough to keep on hand ahead of time, but obviously not fast enough if you freak out and need to test RIGHT NOW, because you'll have to wait on the mail.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are patient, these are awesome

I love these things since they are extremely cheap and tend to show a positive result around the same time as a single drugstore test which costs about as much as the entire pack. At around 40 cents a pop, you can test to your heart's content and not throw away too much money. My only caveat is that you have to be VERY PATIENT when you use these. I mean very. The directions state to wait 5 minutes, but if you're doing very early testing, you might have to wait considerably longer than that. I have used these twice with two pregnancies, and on the first days that I got a line, I waited at least 10 minutes with no success. I'd check back a few hours (yes hours!) later, and there would be a faint line. I know that the line was not evap since previous negative tests have never gotten an evap, and due to the fact that days later I was getting solid lines. Thus, they are cheap, they work very early, and they are very easy to use. You just have to let the things sit for a long time at the early stages for a result.

5.0 out of 5 stars Work perfectly!

These are incredible for the cost! When reading a few other's reviews I was worried that maybe they only detected HCG when it hit 100 since the packaging says that it's accurate the first day after your missed period. I bought some early detection strips later thinking they would work better and I actually got better results with these! These are great because they never have an evaporation line and the faint pregnancy line shows up a little more clearly than the early detection ones. Got a positive result on the same day as the early detection tests! I would say these are accurate at 20 of HCG! Just be sure to wait a full 5 minutes before reading...the line does take a few minutes to show up. Would definitely buy again and would recommend to anyone who is obsessed with checking tests everyday like me!

1.0 out of 5 stars Inconsistent, Not what they used to be!

First, let me say that I used Wondfo test strips a few years ago, when I conceived my daughter, & I loved those. I used them not only to get a positive early result at only 8 DPO, but I also used them to watch the HCG hormone increase in my system as the pregnancy progressed, which put my mind at ease. They were inexpensive & did exactly what I'd hoped they would do, so I would have given them 5 stars if you'd asked me to review them back then. I also want to mention that I use Wondfo OPK's & they have been great. HOWEVER, this time around, I have found the Wondfo Pregnancy Strips to be a disaster. It started a few months ago, when we 1st started TTC. I ended up getting a bunch of false positives, streaking of the dye, & horrible evap lines on the tests that I'd purchased. So, I ordered more, thinking that I'd received a bad batch...I was pretty upset about the false positives, though. The next batch arrived with very obvious flaws...little indents on the test strip, & some even had pieces missing from the test strip, that made them almost unreadable. However, they did seem accurate...I didn't get a false positive, so I kept them. Flash forward to this month, & I still had a few of those tests left, so I used them, & sure enough, I got a BFP. Due to the experience of the last batch, where I'd gotten false positives, I didn't rely on the Wondfo's alone...I went out and bought 2 FRER's to confirm it, both of which were very obvious positives. So, being the nervous person that I am, I figured that I'd keep taking tests to make sure my HCG was increasing, until I could get in for an appointment. My older tests were still picking it up just fine, but when I tried one of the new tests, the line was so faint that it almost couldn't be detected! Honestly, had I taken that test alone, not knowing that I was already pregnant, I might have thought it was negative. It scared me enough to take more, because I was worried I was having a chemical pregnancy...so I took another older one, (not expired, just the previous batch I'd ordered), and the line was very dark and obviously positive. The new ones? Barely showed a 2nd line! I took 3 more of the new ones to be sure, & they were all so faintly positive I could barely detect the 2nd line. The consistency of the dye is just horrible. And I have heard that they are not as sensitive as they once were. Also, I have to note that back when I was TTC my daughter, the line would show up RIGHT away when it was positive. But with all of the new ones, you have to wait a long time...they look negative for almost 5 minutes sometimes, before a line will show up! And that is even on the ones that are darker & obviously positive. I just feel this brand is super unreliable now, & not at all what it used to be. I feel like I totally wasted my money, & this item could cause a lot of worry and concern for someone, needlessly. I gave it 1 star, because it did detect my pregnancy early...but I can't give it more than that, for all of the aforementioned reasons. Also, they are more expensive than they used to be, for a subpar product. I wish they'd bring back the old Wondfos. Oh well.
