    What tests are the most sensative?

    Hi,
    I am aware that on the HT page that several people in the US have brought cheap tests and they have proved to be incorrect. A BFN when the same day it is a BFP using a different test.

    What should you look for when buying a test?

    I assume the UK is different to the US?

    I always assumed first response was the best?

    From what I have seen the First Response have been the best for the early faint line and then bfp's around 9dpo-12dpo.

    Anything with a blue line seems to have more false bfps then the pink lines.

    The superdrug tests in the UK get a good write up and they are on long term offer - 2 packs of 2 tests for £7.99 so if you are a POAS addict they are much cheaper than the FR tests. Good luck. x

    I think I plan to test a week today! - Wednesday. 8dp5dt

    Savvas wants me to wait to Saturday - WHAT! that would be 11dp5dt.

    So today I am 1dp5dt and imaging all sorts of feelings - which is so funny. Your brain goes into overdrive!

    Interesting the difference between blue and pink lines.....will take that on board - thanks

    Pregnancy tests with a sensitivity of 20 mIU/ml are more sensitive than tests with 50 to 100 mIU/ml.

    These claim to be 10 mIU/ml Early Detection Pregnancy Test (10 miu/ml HCG Sensitivity)
