Which HPT?

I am getting ready to test. Which HPT? is the most accurate and sensitive. I've been reading on the internet about some who can detect 7 days after ovulation?? I'm not sure if I believe that. What has everyone else used for very early detection?

The very best is a blood test which detects earlier than any HPT. As far a HPT....My vote is the E.P.T. I had gotten false negative's with other brands. Good Luck.

I just got a BFP with First Response Early Test...I also got a BFP with Clearblue Easy earliest results...went in the next day for a blood test to confirm--- I tested on Thursday and AF was due Friday.

Hope that helps:)

I just did a lot of research on your exact question. According to MANY studies,both Medical and Consumer Report, First Response Early Test was the best. Just remember that it is possible with any test to get a false - if your HCG levels aren't high enough. I always buy a 2 pack. That way if I get a BFN I have another to test with a week later.

My vote is for First Response Early. Remember the best pee to use is your first morning pee or pee after you have been holding it awhile. I tested positive and then couldn't believe it, so I drank a bunch of water so I could test again and it was negative. I think I watered down my pee too much. Good Luck!

I say get the Clear Blue Easy early result, or if you can wait until Af is due, then try EPT. I have got false ++ with First Response, and with Answer Early result (made by the same manufacturer). I have never, ever had false + with CBE or with EPT. I heard a saw a few post about EPT and false +. I think the best thing to do is to wait until a few days before AF or longer, that way you don't have any disappointment.

Good Luck!

I got this web link from another message board. It is pretty interesting. Compares all the HPT's.
