Hello bees,
I'm going to be buying some tests online to get ready to POAS/get a deal so I'm not spending a small fortune on FRERs.
I've heard that the wondfos are reliable/cheap.
I'm going to buy something on amazon, CANADIAN bees, where did you get your tests?
Do you have an amazon.ca link that you frequently use?
I plan on buying some FRERs as 'confirmation tests', but would like some cheapies on hand when the 'obsession' sets in, lol.
Thanks!!

My cheapies are Wondfo and never had any issues. Granted, I only was ttc for one cycle, but I used ten tests and lines got darker plus I got a BFP 10dpo.

@WinterBee: they weren't the Wondfo brand, but they were on Amazon.ca and they came in a pack with 50 OPKs and 10 hpts. I'll see if I can find them and post a link. They're not as cheap as US unfortunately, but better than 12$ at the store!!

@Ms. RV: Thanks!! I've heard good things about the wondfos.
@Mrs. Oatmeal: Woohoo! Hard to argue with $4 haha. They worked well for you? I've read a lot of mixed reviews about them not working, makes me nervous to get these ones.

@WinterBee: I used these and the OPKs from the same brand, and they worked well. I got my first total squinter on one of these tests at 10 DPO, so they're pretty sensitive too.

@Mrs. Oatmeal: I won't be getting the OPKs as we're NTNP for a bit, but will keep in mind if we don't get our BFP by mid-fall.
Thank you for your input!

I've never had issues with any brand (even blue dye), but I've seen so many bad batches of wondfos here that I switched to Babi last time. Same price range.

I used the Wondfo ovulation and pregnancy tests. I have PCOS and didn't chart so the tests were very useful. They were both accurate for me. The test picked up my chemical pregnancy with a faint line, same as the FRER.

I used those amazon.ca cheapies and they were pretty worthless. I tested early and got the squintiest squinter that no one else could see. They didn't get clearly positive until well after my missed period at 17dpo. FRER was blazing at 11dpo.
This pic is fmu on cheapie, afternoon no hold on FRER 11dpo.

@Torchwood: @MOMTOLITTLEB: @oliviaoblivia: I'm starting to believe that every batch is different, the reviews are so mixed! I ended up buying the amazon cheapies, and will start collecting FRERs on sale too, hopefully I'll get answers using them combined.
@oliviaoblivia: That difference is insane!

@WinterBee: This is my absolute fav place to get preg and ovulation tests!!

I had no issues with them during my first round of ttc. Looks like shipping to Canada is $7.95.

@WinterBee: I think it might help reduce your chances of an issue if you google your batch number when you get it. Then you can at least be forewarned if people are getting a lot of false negatives/positives from those particular ones.

@lady grey: Thanks!
@Torchwood: Great idea, I never would have thought of that.
