HPT Test Accuracy?

Question

How accurate is a hpt, 8 days past when a period was supposed to begin? First morning pee was used.

Answer 1

Depends........Mine didnt show up for 3 months...It took a blood test to determine pregnancy for me........

Answer 2

Some home pregnancy tests say they can detect the pregnancy hormone up to 4 days before your missed period...but they don't tell you that for each day away from your start date the percentage of accuracy greatly drops. The best results from a home pregnancy test happen on or after the day you expect your period........before that there just may not be enough of the pregnancy hormone at that time to be detectable.....
At 8 days after it should be very accurate.

Answer 3

VERY accurate. Check the MUi's on the box. 25 Mui's are the most accurate. The higher the MUi's the less accurate the test is, but I would say at 8 days late any of them will be extremely accurate!

Answer 4

Should be extremely accurate if your period is that late... however, I have heard of some people being like 3 months preg before home test was positive... those stories are kinds leary to me though... I suggest go to doc and get blood test done... they are more accurate than at home tests and can tell you sooner
