I get mine from early-pregnancy-tests.com I hope you don't need them!

I hope you do not need them either. I always got mine on ebay. I liked the Wondfo brand the most. You can usually get a pretty good deal on 25 of them

I bought some off of Amazon.com, it was a 40pk of OPKs and 10 HPT's for $10.84, free shipping. Not sure how good they are but they look like the exact brand I get at the dollar store just without the individual box (they are still in individual packets though) and those are the kind I used to confirm my last pregnancy.

Also, what does IC stand for?!?

Do you know how sensitive they are(Wondfo)? I ordered some from Ebay and was curious. I always ordered from earlypregnancytests.com in the past.

Ok sorry if this posts twice, I had something wierd happen the first time I tried to reply!

I just ordered a 40pk of OPKs along with 10pk of HPT's from amazon for $10.84 with free shipping. I don't know the exact brand but they look exactly like the dollar store ones I buy just without the individual boxes (but still in individual packets). And they gave me my BFP for the last pregnancy before I bought one of the expensive ones to confirm.

I buy mine from eBay and get the Wondfo, I swear by them out of the other brands.

Not sure of the sensitivity... think it's 20/25 mIU's Missy. I found them on a chart somewhere but cannot remember.

missy123 · #8 January 13th, 2011, 07:11 PM

Have you used the early pregnancy test ones in the past as well? How do they compare?

MeganMomof5 · #9 January 13th, 2011, 07:49 PM

I read on a lot of sites (while googling different things) that waldo HPT's get evaps a lot...I know earlypregnancytests.com IC's do some, but not every time, so I trust them most of the time.

missy123 · #10 January 13th, 2011, 07:52 PM

I have never had an evap from the early pregnancy test ones. Hmmmmm..... now I am wondering if I made the wrong decision.

Oh and if you look through the site they have tests that are 10ml... more expensive than the ones in the bundle packs but really sensitive, huh!

MeganMomof5 · #11 January 13th, 2011, 07:55 PM

I still think they are pretty good IC's...I'd say I don't get evaps very often...I've taken 100's and 100's of them...I like them better than the dollar store tests for sure (I get colored evaps on them)...Usually the evaps on the IC's go away after they are dry.

missy123 · #12 January 13th, 2011, 07:58 PM

I think the companies that make the HPT's should hire us for market research

MeganMomof5 · #13 January 13th, 2011, 08:05 PM

I've thought about it! earlypregnancytests.com is actually in the same town I live in..I thought about asking if I can work for them in exchange for free HPT and OPK's LOL

TnPhotoMama81 · #14 January 13th, 2011, 08:11 PM

LOL Missy. You are so right. They should hahaha!

I have never gotten an evap on an IC test. I think Wondfo is 25 sensitivity.

Jessica121706 · #15 January 13th, 2011, 08:40 PM

I'm sorry this is going to sound stupid but is 25 sensitivity good? What do name brand test usually run does anyone know?

ohnicole · #16 January 14th, 2011, 06:56 AM

25 is good sensitivity. It is the same as FRER. But (I assume because of the amount of dye in the tests?) if you have a low amount of HCG, a line on a IC will look much lighter than a line on a FRER. Like Missy said, there are some tests out that claim sensitivity of 10, but I haven't tried them.

*SamF* · #17 January 14th, 2011, 07:10 AM

I get them off of Amazon. I've also never had an evap on a wondfo.

Halfbaked · #18 January 14th, 2011, 07:18 AM

I bought mine from ebay and it said they were 10miu. I got a nice pink line on the ic's when the frer line was grey.

Toots216 · #19 January 14th, 2011, 07:22 AM

Question about the ICs - does anyone have the brand with the dark blue handle with "HCG" imprinted on it? If so, where did you get them? Those are my FAVES but I haven't been able to find them anywhere. I ordered them from Amazon back in the summer.

I re-ordered from the same Amazon page again about a month ago, but I got ICs with pink handles this time. Not sure how sensitive they are since I haven't gotten a BFP yet, but man I loved those blue HCG strips!!!!! I got BFPs at 8 or 9 DPO with them!

Also, I ordered the 10 miu ones from earlypregnancytests a few months ago (yes, I know I have issues....

), and even when I WAS pg, I never got a BFP on them?!?!? Even when my digi was positive! I threw them out.

okiliz · #20 January 14th, 2011, 07:56 AM

Hmm.. I have tried the IC's from early pregnancy tests.com but I buy them on E-bay . I have also tried the 10Miu tests from england.. they are more sensitive but it takes themlonger to get dark.. Like I got a line super early but it was still light when the frers and others were darker... I trust no brand alone :-) I have issues.... So I always test with at least 3-4 different brands on the big test day.. but I will use the ic's to test out my trigger shots or when I have that odd impulse to POAS for no good reason
