Did they have your levels checked to make sure you went down to 0?

If you know your levels went down to 0 after your loss, there is a bad batch of Wondfo HPTs out there. I forget the batch, but I know I got a bad batch. Mine didn't show my pregnancy, but I know there is a bad batch that is showing false positives. You just have rotten luck with these! But, if you don't know if your levels went back down to 0 it could be leftover hCG it's picking up.

when i got my blood draw that friday (4 days after the mc).. they said it was below a 1!
a friend of mine had one of the bad batches and said it was ones that expired 6/12 i believe.. these are 11/12
but since i got refunded anyways, i just know i wont be buying these again LOL
i don't think i will do OPKs again.. they stress me out lol.. we will just continue to do what we have been which is pretty much loosely TTC

Wow that is some crazy stuff! I had a bad batch once and when I asked for my refund they said that the reason they were faulty was due to extreme temperatures. (HOT) So they refunded my money.

Stories about "bad batches" always freak me out! Glad you got your refund, though. Good luck!

I dont know how long ago you m/c, but Ive seen plenty of women get pg only 2wks after.....your opks will be crazy like this for a bit, thats why its very possible you could of actually o'd right after your hcg levels went to 0 again. With that said, this hpt could actually be right????? I dont want to give you false hope, but all bets are off the first cycle after m/c!

thanks!.. my youngest son's PR is harping on me to keep testing lol.. i took another and it's BARELY there, nothing like this, it's so faint i cant even say what color it is.. so i think it's just a bunch of jank tests!!... im not getting my hopes up at all because i jsut don't trust these dang tests anymore!
with that said.. even the OPKs are hardly visible.. so i think my surge might have been yesterday

 LOL
Just as an FYI, sometimes OPKs can be positive for a pg...hcg and LH are very similar in structure. It could be a bad batch and the fact that they refunded you makes me think that they know something is up, but could also be the real deal!

I was one that had a bad batch of Wondfos... and the tests were either smudgy where the test line was, kind of making it look positive. Or they were a stark white evap line. They never looked like a thick, beautiful, clearly defined pink line like that.
Please test with some other brand.

I'm gonna bet money that you're pregnant again based on that test above. I ovulated only 8 days after my second m/c started. It is highly possible this could be the real deal! If you're not, I'd highly recommend the body temping route in the future. I haven't done it myself, because my cycles are very regular and I've done well with the OPK's, but in your case, seems like it would be worth a try!

Wondfo test are usually good but I did get two false positives on them because I had drank alot of apple juice. I didn't know that apple juice turns a hpt positive lol. I have the blue handle and pink handle. Ones and both gave me the same false positive.
