Here is a response from one of our DHS experts Trevor Croft, that should answer your question.

First, just to be clear, V623-V626 correspond to older definitions of unmet need that are no longer used. The new definition is stored in variables V625A (for infecundity) and V626A (for unmet need). These exist in the Burkina Faso 2010 dataset, however they do not exist in older datasets but can be produced using the survey-specific code that is on the Unmet Need web page that you already found. [Note that there is general code and survey specific code on that page. The general code provides the code needed assuming there are no survey specific questionnaire changes. The survey specific code includes all survey specific adaptations that were needed.]

So, in comparing your code I would look at V625A for the women classified as fecund according to our definition.
