Digital vs. line test
While waiting for my test to register this afternoon, I read both instructions pamphlets for my pregnancy tests...
I found this interesting & thought I would share with my girls (since it's always a hot topic) :
Here are days before missed period & your % of getting a BFP
Ept stick test
1 87%
2 84%
3 74%
4 53%
EPTCertainty (digital)
1 95%
2 90%
3 82%
4 51%
according to this, the digital is more sensitive!

Re: Digital vs. line test
I am wondering the same thing. That is great to know about the digital but the line test does not make sense.

Are you sure about that? I thought it was the other way around?
But you got a BFP, so who cares? I am so excited for you that you could have typed anything!

Re: Digital vs. line test
so sorry girls!!!!
I cant believe I messed that up
The % are right, but I typed the days backwards, I will fix it.
I was shocked by the digital being more sensitive too. But this is only for the two I had in the house (EPT), I cant say its true for all.

Re: Digital vs. line test
That doesn't really mean it's more sensitive... just more accurate I think.
The sensitivity would be how much hCG is required for the HPT to pick it up, KWIM?
