There are different brands of the home pregnancy kits available each with a different sensitivity. Ideally, the test is most sensitive when done one day after the missed period. Opinions differ, but this the best time to do the test. 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.
