early-pregnancy-tests.com vs Wondfo?

I've looked back through the archives on this board and I guess I'm still a little iffy about which ones to get (pregnancy tests and OPK's).

Up until now I've always gotten tests from the grocery store, and for as much as I like to test I feel like I'm throwing money away. I've used the CBE digital OPK and it's starting to make me angry because it keeps giving me errors because I get too much or too little pee on it. I've used a handful of different pregnancy tests.

I'm only getting pregnancy tests for now. I hopefully won't need the OPK's.

Which ones do you guys prefer? Is there really that big of a difference between the two? Is there even a difference at all? Both Wondfo and early pregnancy tests look the same to me!

And the second part of my question... for those of you that use early-pregnancy-tests.com, do you use the 10 mui or the 20 mui?

I've used both.  I like the early-pregnancy-tests ones better than the wondfos but wondfos are cheaper.  They work the same way and there isn't much of a difference.  The wondfos are skinnier strips.  
Fingers crossed for a sticky baby this time! Beta #1 41, Beta #2 59, Beta #3 106, Beta #4 219 (finally doubling!!!) Beta #5 510 Beta #6 1060 Heartbeat (126 bpm) at 6w1d! Hooray!!! Lilypie Pregnancy tickers Lilypie Third Birthday tickers

I loved early preg test.coms tests for when i was ttc my first son so of course I wanted to order them again this time around. They are awful. Each and every test has an indent that turns into an evap. I even emailed the company and provided pics and they lady told me it was "normal". I've seen quite a few ppl on other boards (tww and ff) seeing the same indents and evaps on them. For the money I'd go for wondfo. Yes, some are evap-y but their 1/3 of the price of the others. 

Oh and I bought the 10miu both times. Again, 3 years ago I loved the early preg test ones. Now, not so much.

He also found some scar tissue on my cilia. Cleared that up and re-positioned the cilia to capture the egg better. Trying unmonitored/unmedicated for a while before perusing iui.

Hi there!  I remember you from way back when and  the off-boards.  How odd about this time around with those tests?  I also loved them back then but I haven't used them since.  Good to know because I was considering using them again after I finish my wondfos.  I won't be now!  Hope you get a quick BFP for #2.  :)

I feel like if I use the wondfo's I would end up making ridiculous karate noises the whole time I'm waiting for the results because my brain likes to read wondfo as wand-fu. Like it's some special baby making ninja stick.

I've ordered HPTs & OPKs from early-pregnancy-tests.com & Wondfos on Amazon and I must say I prefer the Wondfos. They are super easy to read and the OPKs have accurately detected my surge based on my BBT and other charting. Plus, they are cheaper for more.

I remember you too! Yea, we've been ttc for a number of months now and thought that if I ordered those tests it would be my good luck charm. Only they are so bad. And I see so many other ppl posting what they think are bfps with them only to test with another brand and see that they're evaps.  

Good luck with #2 as well! Hopefully we won't be here much longer.

I don't buy any of the expensive shiitz anymore. I used to like to confirm O with the CBE digital, but now that I'm on cycle 5, I don't even do that anymore. It is such a waste of money. At this point I'd only buy a HPT at CVS/grocery store to confirm a +HPT, cuz I like to pee on stuff, and it is nice to see 'pregnant' pop up on the screen.

I've used both and I like Wondfo better. I've had evap issues with the other.

Sounds like Wondfo is the way to go then. Thanks ladies :)

I'll add another vote for the Wondfo's.  Their cheap, so I don't feel like I'm getting my money's worth.  Have always caught a positive (testing 2x daily) with them.
