hCG level detected by home pregnancy kits?
Question:
Hi Lisa, Blood tests are positive above *5mIu/ml.* All hpts are different. I’ve used EPT’s in the past and they register positive at 40mIU/ml. Urine tests are obviously not nearly as sensitive as blood tests. Good luck!

I know with the blood tests, above 50 means you’re pregnant, but I am wondering if the home kits are that sensitive. Thanks, Lisa

Lisa, My ob/gyn told me that blood tests are positive at 5 or 10 and hpt s are positive at 30. Andrea

I think equate sold at walmart detects at 25. It can give those with pco false positives I’ve heard. KIM:-}

<<I think equate sold at walmart detects at 25. It can give those with pco false positives I’ve heard. Yup, Equate detects at 25. It will give someone with PCO a false positive *if* their LH is *really* out of whack…..like higher than 25. (my baseline LH is 15……high, but not high enough for a false +) This is also why PCO-ers can have false positives w/OPK’s. (BTW, LH and hCG are practically identical, chemically)
