How many dpo is a good time to take an hpt test. I have a test that has a sensitivity of 20, what is the earliest you can test.

Heather,

The best time to test is at least 1 day after AF is due or on the day. HCG levels vary from woman to woman and also, depending on when implantation took place. You could very well be pregnant but test too early and get a BFN (which sucks!). I would wait until I am late but if you want to go for it before, there is First Response Early that you can use up to 3 days before AF.

Good luck!

Here is a cool link for information on HCG levels :
