Customer Reviews of Wondfo Pregnancy Test Strips, 25-countCustomer Review: Great so far Summary: 5 Stars
After a rather depressing whirlwind last month with just about every store brand known to man, where I got faint positives from 8 dpo to 10 dpo on lots of different non-digital tests... the faint lines never got stronger, and went away by 11 dpo. I'd ordered some of these, they showed up at 12 dpo and showed a clear, no-squint negative faster than I've ever seen a pregnancy test "clear"... and I got my period a few hours later.
For me, the negatives being clear and rapid is almost as important as whether the positives are early or not. Early conceptions don't always stick around, they estimate that half of eggs that fertilize never come to term, and most people never know it because they're not insane POAS-aholics.
Since I am, I decided I needed a cheaper "front end" test. With these, I can test every day if I want, or even a couple times a day, and I'm pretty confident in my result. I would never trust a single positive test anyway... because I've lost enough pregnancies to not assume that a positive test means a baby at the other end. So what I need are tests that I can use, and watch to see if they get darker.
The price is unbelievable. Dipsticks are my preference, I tend to pee in a cup even for the midstream tests, it's far tidier. It helps if you've got good control, and can pee a little, pee in the cup, stop before it overflows, then finish your business after you've pulled the cup away. This isn't hard for me at all, and if you're going to be seeing a doctor for pregnancy, you've got to get the hang of peeing in a cup anyway, they make pregnant women do it all the time.
For speed, these cannot be beat. Every other test says, "Dip for 5 (or 10, or 20) seconds, then lay flat, read between 5 and 10 minutes."
These, you dip for 3 seconds, lay flat, and they process and clear amazingly quickly, far faster than any of the "major" brands. And you're not left with a giant stick full of pee, either (the midstream tests kind of gross me out, actually, that way.) My expected negatives (i.e. testing after my period started but before it got heavy, to be sure it wasn't implant bleeding) were crystal clear white in the test zone within about a minute. Given that I'm often testing in the rush to get my older kids off to school, saving time that way is a godsend, and I don't end up staring at a pee stick for 10 minutes trying to figure out if I can see a squint of a line.
I don't expect these to be the final word: They're cheap, and there there to keep me from blowing $1 or $4 or $8 every time I want to test. If I get a positive on one of these, I'll test again to see if it gets darker, and when it's darker, I'll break out the digitals I have left over from the last round. (Because really, husbands need to see the word PREGNANT spelled out for them, it seems like...)
These very much satisfy the science geek in me. I used to love the Dollar Tree tests, but heck... 20 cents a test, give or take? Mind boggling.
Edited to add: I got my first visible positives with these, ahead of FRER (at least as far as taking pictures of the tests is concerned!) They are remarkably consistent from tests to test in intensity, which means that it is so easy to compare color of tests from one to the next. I can really see the test getting darker even over the course of one day, and after a chemical pregnancy where the tests never really changed, it is encouraging.
I now have about 20 of these dry and pasted to a sheet of paper in order, and I can tell you that there are ZERO evaporation lines on the negatives (3-4 dpo, too early to expect a positive.) Even the faint lines that showed up after the test time did so in a way that makes clear the progression from no color to some color to definite positives. The first hints of what I would call "evaporation" lines show up at 7 dpo on my chart, and got slowly but consistently darker from 7-10 dpo (lines showing up after the test time), before "true positives" appeared late on 10 dpo, getting darker all day 11dpo.
First Response appears to be about 1-2 days behind in intensity.
I got some "cheap" ($2 per test) strips at a drugstore, Answer strips, and they are much less clear. The test, dipped in the same sample as the Wondfo tests, are fainter, "messier" and the dye is all over the place, even the control lines are a little vague. By contrast, Wondfo strips have very well defined dye areas and the tests look much "cleaner". These are probably the least gross pee sticks I've ever seen... :) Both tests showed "positive" at the same time, but the Wondfo test are cheaper, cleaner, and much faster to give results.
Definite will buy again, as I've nearly gotten through the 25 I've had, and after having miscarriages, I know I'll want to test often in the coming weeks, for reassurance.
I have the pink handled tests, and cannot say enough good things about them. Because they are cheap enough that I feel like I can test whenever I want without feeling guilty, I was able to get enough consistent negatives that when the strips started being slightly ambiguous, it was pretty clear something was different, even if it did take a couple days after that for the lines to get really visible. The negatives were clear, clear white. The positives are still faint, but I'm still early, and it is enough to see the progression.

Description of Wondfo Pregnancy Test Strips, 25-countHuman chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone, produced by the developing placenta shortly after the conception and secreted into the urine. The pregnancy test contains antibodies which specifically react with this hormone. Negative (not pregnant): Only one color band appears, in the Control Zone. No apparent band on the Test Zone. This indicates that no pregnancy has been detected. Positive (pregnant): Distinct color bands appear in the Control and Test Zones. It indicates that you are pregnant. The color intensity of the test bands may vary since different stages of pregnancy have different concentrations of HCG hormone.
