mIU levels on pregnancy tests...

[jessica716]

The most sensitive tests (like the ones available at Early Pregnancy Tests.com) are capable of detect hCG levels at the 20mIU/hCG threshold (mIU, or International Units, is a level of measurement). 20mIU/hCG is the level of hCG that is typically present, on average, in the urine of pregnant women at about seven to ten days past ovulation. 20mIU is really the perfect sensitivity level, allowing you to test early (before your first missed period) while not being overly sensitive. If a test is too sensitive, it can detect naturally-low levels of hCG that may be present in a non-pregnant woman's system. Something to keep in mind. On the other hand, some drugstore brands offer very low sensitivity level tests (higher numbers, even over 100mIU/hCG). While there is nothing wrong with these tests, they do require that you wait longer to begin testing - well after a woman's missed period.

Nice list!
Where did you find all the information?
I've been looking online and pretty much every website has a different answer.

Some are off supplier websites...others from when i was ttc last year and some from friends that are ttc at the moment...

So maybe a few slightly out if suppliers have very recently changed but should be all pretty much upto date!

Hope it comes in useful for some of you ladies

I personally would always use the superdrug ones now, picked up a lovely dark at 8dpo for me whereas others came up with nothing!!
