where can i find on the box of a pregnancy test how sensitive it is to detecting the HC level. I have heard the EPT is better then some other, is there any that are better then the EPT? And how can I figure this out when I go to buy one?

I don't believe it tells you on the box but here is a good website

Here is a list of just about every pregnancy test on the market
http://www.fertilityplus.org/faq/hpt.html
This site will list their sensitivity and link you to their website.
You can test 5 days before your expected period. But that doesn't always guarantee an accurate result.
EPT is listed at 20mlU, but there are some out there that have a sensitivity level of 15mlU. check it out!
I got a positive result 9 days past ovulation with a very faint positive taken with a New Choice test sold at the dollar store with a 20mlU sensitivity. The following day 10 days past ovulation ( 5days before my expected period) I got a darker positive with the same type of test. GOOD LUCK!

i don't think they do give that information about HCG levels. i have low HCG levels and with both of my pregnancies, they came out negative for a long time. i had to have a blood test done with both of my kids. even the military hospital urine test came out negative besides the home ones i tried. i was 2-1/2 months pregnant before blood tested possitive. hope they work for you, good luck

Go to this website--it's very informative and gives the manufacturers sensitivity and lots of other useful info on all different brands of hpts.

first responce states that theirs is more sensitve because their tests work in 63% of women 4 days before their period is due.
The best test is a blood test. it can pick up the hormone before it is even detectable in your urine.

You will do well to find out from a nearby hospital.
