What level of hCG does First Response pick up?

One kit, the First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test, emerged as the most reliable and sensitive test. “It detected hCG at concentrations as low as 6.5 mIU/ml (thousandths of an International Unit per milliliter) – that’s almost sensitive enough to detect any pregnancy soon after implantation,” CR wrote.

What’s the sensitivity of First Response?

Results: First Response Early Result had an analytical sensitivity of 6.3 mIU/mL, which was estimated to detect greater than 95% of pregnancies on the day of missed period. The sensitivity of Clearblue Easy Earliest Results was 25 mIU/mL, which indicated detection of 80% of pregnancies.

How accurate is up and up pregnancy test?

99% accurate at detecting typical pregnancy hormone levels. Note that hormone levels vary.

Is First Response or clear blue better?

According to Cole’s research (PDF), Clearblue Easy and EPT are both less sensitive than First Response but more sensitive than other tests. These tests also detect hCG-h but not as well as First Response. In addition to accuracy, we considered test usability, readability, and cost.

Are First Response pregnancy tests ever wrong?

Doctors say so-called early-result pregnancy tests waste time and money. Studies on the packaging of such kits as First Response say 48 percent of women get a “false negative” result when they test three days before their expected period.

What’s the sensitivity of the first response pregnancy test?

Results: First Response Early Result had an analytical sensitivity of 6.3 mIU/mL, which was estimated to detect greater than 95% of pregnancies on the day of missed period. The sensitivity of Clearblue Easy Earliest Results was 25 mIU/mL, which indicated detection of 80% of pregnancies.

How to determine the sensitivity of over the counter pregnancy tests?

Objective: To determine the sensitivity of seven over-the-counter pregnancy tests (OTC-PTs) using urine containing a mixture of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-related molecules as found on the first day of missed menstrual period. Design: Blinded in vitro sensitivity analysis.

What happens if you take an extra sensitive pregnancy test?

There *is* a downside to extra sensitive pregnancy tests though. Unfortunately, 25% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. If you use a very sensitive pregnancy test, where you test before the day your period is due, you could catch an early pregnancy but end up going on to have your period anyway, due to a very early miscarriage.
