Just wanted to let you all know that those things are pretty sensitive!

I got light, but easy to read BFP's on both Answer brand and EPT +/- with an HCG of 5! The EPT was the darker of the 2 and an unmistakable BFP.

wow, I don't even think they claim below 25 maybe? I think I might have seen FR say 15 on one site.

I think they have to claim 25 mIU for legal reasons...I think I read that somewhere but don't quote me...

www.peeonastick.com has all sorts of test listed and what their packages claim and what people have really gotten...I know that the CBE digis are SUPER sensitive...you can barely register a BFP on a line test and it will pick it up...

I know those are over 5 because I used that the same day too and got a "not pregnant"

But Answer, EPT and Equate were all positive.

I had a BFP and went into see DR since I was bledding a day after AF was due and.

My beta was 5.

I did 3 brand name tests right in front of her that I brought to PROVE how sensitive they are. she was stunned.

It was clearly a Chem pg.
