Content: Doing the test before the missed period reduces its accuracy because there may not be enough hCG in the urine that can be detected by the test strips. However, improvements keep happening and newer kits with higher sensitivity levels keep coming. For example, a test with a higher sensitivity, which can detect hCG levels in the urine of 10mIU/ml (milli-International Units per milliliter) will tell if you’re pregnant earlier than a test with a sensitivity of 25mIU/ml. How to choose a pregnancy kit? It is most important that you first read and understand the instructions given with the home pregnancy kit. They will vary slightly from kit to kit. If possible, buy a kit which has an FDA license number on it. In many countries, these kits may not come under the FDA and therefore, such a number may not be present. In such cases, you could identify a good kit by going in for one that is manufactured by a known and reliable brand. The advantage is they may be more sensitive and will give you the result earlier.
