Pregnancy Test Strip - Individually Wrapped HCG Strips - Highly Sensitive Home Detection Pregnancy Test Kit - Clear HCG Test Results - 20 Count

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.

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.

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.

Have always worked for me. I've never had any invalids, positives, or anything strange and I've been using these for years. Just all negatives. Whhew. Knock on wood. Lol these are so great. I don't think ppl realize all they pay for at the store (clear blue, ept, etc) is basically just one of these with some fancy plastic coating???!! Srsly. My moms a gyno and they use these. Save ur money and use these. Oh, one thing I can not stress enough is you CANT dip past max line... Or oversaturate it by dipping for 10 or more seconds. I count to five, and that seems to be the magic number. If you oversaturate it you may be able to still read the lines, But the again it may end up an inky blurry mess. Trust me. I've had irregular periods for over 15 years so you can imagine how many of these Ive taken bc my period is never on time. I've taken one a day the past two weeks. I'd go broke buying store brands! So when I tell you I am a pro with these... trust me.. I won't steer you wrong .

I really liked these tests, they did work and showed me a faint positive the day I got them in the mail, which was 11 DPO, and they did get darker everyday but not as dark as the control line. I think they are generally very sensitive and are a great value. My only problem is they came in a blue package and the test handles were blue as well. They also need 10 minutes to fully dry, not five. So give it time.

PROS: very inexpensive, easy to read, very sensitive (a slow as 7miu HCG for me), less waste than the store bought kind, if you get a bad batch anazon will replace it or refund you no problem. CONS: I've personally had a couple evaps on these in different cycles, have gotten one bad batch, early on its hard to define a positive within the 5min window. These have caught all four of my chemical pregnancies. My HCG levels have never been over 10miu yet it was clearly positive. There is no such thing as a false positive! A chemical pregnancy can be thought of as a false positive because you may only get a few days of positive tests and then nothing. This is per my reproductiove endocrinologyst! However, if you'd rather not know that you had a chemical pregnancy these tests aren't for you cause they are very sensitive and if you test early most likely will pick up a hint of HCG whereas other fancy brands would not.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON STORE-BOUGHT TESTS AGAIN! These are just as good, if not better! I got a VERY dark positive when I was only 3 weeks along. I thought I was at least 8-10 weeks, as I was still breastfeeding my daughter and didn't think we would get pregnant for several months. I really only took the test because we were going to a wedding and I wanted to drink some champagne but just wanted to be sure. I was floored when that second line showed up, INSTANTLY, and super dark. Then imagine my surprise when I found the test caught the pregnancy that early (approx 6-7dpo with a SUPER dark line and instant results). Granted, I know it isn't like that for everyone. But it just goes to show that these tests work! And I actually prefer going in a cup then dipping a strip as opposed to taking a mid-stream test. I prefer not having to pee all over my hand to take a test ;) Highly recommend these tests!!!

I must say I don't write reviews very often even though I purchase regularly from Amazon but this one has me irritated. I wasn't really TRYING to conceive per se, just not trying not to. As I am a compulsive tester :-) I started testing 6 days before my period with a first response test and came up negative. :-( Waited another day (5 days prior) and got a definite positive...woo hoo...I had these tests ordered. I like to see the color get darker until I can get to the doctor. When they came I wasn't terribly happy because I hadn't realized when I ordered them that they say they can detect HcG as early as one day POST missed period. Ummm...ok, so what's the point then? BUT, in the fashion of true obsessive compulsive testers I did one anyways. (now 2 days pre period). Negative. ugh...so what was that positive first response test ya know? decided I have all these tests, might as well take another one since they're not supposed to be able to pick up till one day POST period anyways. 1 day pre period and the first test was a dud (no lines) and the second test was POSITIVE! woo hoo. day of missed period NEGATIVE. 1 day post missed period, negative. 2 days post POSITIVE! WTH? I'm guessing I'm pregnant based on that I'm late but it's only 2 days late and I now have 3 positive tests (one of which wasn't this brand but picked it up several days early), 3 negatives and a dud. Highly irritating! You could say maybe I had an early miscarriage that maybe I missed cause I pick up on it but it's too inconsistent....if it had been positives then negatives then maybe...but it's like every other day a positive or a negative then a positive. I dipped only to the max line and waited 5 minutes to the dot and no longer. I'll probably use these just cause they're cheap and I have a bunch of them, but won't be ordering again! With my second child I used the early pregnancy tests from another company and consistently detected from about 4 days pre period on. So was kinda expecting the same thing I guess. because I've missed my period by a couple of days I think I will consider myself preggers but sheesh...if I wanted to wait and then test I might as well just go to the doctor....
