HPT Accuracy Results Percentages
HPT = Home Pregnancy Test
Based on a 25 mIU sensitive test - the sensitivity should be listed on the box or on the leaflet.
DPO = Days past Ovulation
Please keep in mind that 10 DPO is still pretty early, so try waiting until at least 12 DPO!! We all know it's tough :)
10 dpo : 35%
11 dpo : 51%
12 dpo : 62%
13 dpo : 68%
14 dpo : 74%
15 dpo : 80%
16 dpo : 88%
17 dpo : 92%
Try to resist the urge and DON'T test too early!!!
Many times, you'll see someone ask: Is a line really a line?? In short, yes. if you’ve taken an HPT and the results
were read within the time limit on the instructions (usually 10 minutes) it is a positive, no matter how faint the
line. If you can see it, it’s positive. If you don't trust the test, then consider buying a digital test which will clearly say
"pregnant" or "not pregnant" AND take the test the next morning with FMU (first morning urine).
Averages:
Avg. number of days past ovulation (DPO) for false negative: 10.3 dpo
Avg. number of days past ovulation (DPO) for first positive test: 13.6 dpo
