HPT Sensitivity
Comparison Table
Which Pregnancy Tests Are the Most Sensitive
Below is a table of some of the more common home pregnancy tests on the U.S. market today.* We have seperated the tests by sensitivity. The tests that detect the smallest amounts of hCG may be able to give an accurate result sooner in a cycle than the tests that detect larger amounts of hCG. It is important to remember that the majority of these tests state that detection is accurate as soon as the first day of a missed period. Always read the literature and intrustions that come with the home pregnancy test you purchase. See our Home Pregnancy Test Basics FAQs for more information.
