There is a lot of Wondfo info out there, so you will be able to see if there are other who have had bad results with the same batch.</p> <p>Second, I knew I was having problems, because every test - no matter when I took it - had the same weird line... not quite a positive, just weird evap lines that should not have been there.</p> <p>That said, I never had a problem with Wondfos giving false negatives. If you are really concerned, get yourself a FRER. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-substitite-for-wondfos#post-1596711 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 09:21:08 +0000 marzipan 1596711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Septca This might be a silly question, but how do you know that the Wondfo ones have been bad batches? I swear I'm pregnant, but my Wondfo tests keep saying negative (but, of course, I'm only 10-12DPO, so I know I might just need to be patient). But how does one know if she has a bad batch? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-substitite-for-wondfos#post-1596672 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 09:06:46 +0000 BSB 1596672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My new RE uses the Ovu kits. Not sure if the kits are available to everyone or if a Dr has to get it for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-substitite-for-wondfos#post-1596652 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 08:57:15 +0000 Radish 1596652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: Awesome. I got a box (but haven't used them yet). Good to know about it taking a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-substitite-for-wondfos#post-1596642 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 08:55:00 +0000 septca 1596642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to give an update - can highly recommend the Sure Predicts. They are ultrasensitive and definitive (no evaps or weird lines). The dye does take a while to pass over the test, and there seem to be two dye pass stages, which is kind of annoying, but overall I give these an A. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-substitite-for-wondfos#post-1546772 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 14:36:23 +0000 littlek 1546772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I used these..<br /> <a href="http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/5pregtesstri.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/5pregtesstri.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-substitite-for-wondfos#post-1546767 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 14:34:10 +0000 winniebee 1546767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: What did you use? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-substitite-for-wondfos#post-1517572 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 13:18:34 +0000 septca 1517572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: I got the Sure Predicts that @lilyofthewest: recommended.

I (am only a little ashamed to admit that I) took 24 others that didn't give even a hint of an evap. Which is why I got a little overanxious today. :) And they're really cheap on Amazon, and available Prime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-substitite-for-wondfos#post-1517537 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 13:07:53 +0000 littlek 1517537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: what did you go with? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-substitite-for-wondfos#post-1513355 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 23:01:57 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1513355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: I used the Answer brand hpt from WalMart that you can get in those big bins in the middle of the aisle. Super classy but it fits the bill at $0.88 each. AND it picked up my BFP at only 9 DPO and the next day my betas were 18. 18!! Can't beat that with a POAS ;)</p> <p>ETA Here are pics of the Answer brand and a FRER on the same day, though the FRER was done at the very end of the day and the Answer was done very early with a middle of the night pee. Both of course looked darker in person. </p> [attach=4435/14/n2tkyx.400x225.hpt1.jpg] [attach=4435/14/n2tkyy.400x225.hpt2.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-substitite-for-wondfos#post-1512674 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 15:41:12 +0000 MsMini 1512674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the earlypregnancytests.com tests as well, they were accurate for me. 10 midstream tests run around $17 including shipping. The test strips are even cheaper,but I prefer midstream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-substitite-for-wondfos#post-1512655 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 15:25:22 +0000 Snowdrop 1512655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i use the same as @MrsB2012: can't comment on the accuracies of the hpts :crying: but the opks are great, only had 1 defective in over 95 tests (oh god that is depressing). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-substitite-for-wondfos#post-1511557 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:24:48 +0000 Radish 1511557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://peestickparadise.com/peestick_reviews.html" rel="nofollow">http://peestickparadise.com/peestick_reviews.html</a><br /> Here are some reviews of some other ones.

I don't want to give up my POAS addiction next cycle, but I also can't afford to do it with FRERs. Is there an alternative (super cheap HPTs) to Wondfos? </p>
