Is testing at home more sensitive than at dr's?
I tested positive on Wednesday (Early Response) & then went to the doctor yesterday & their test barely showed a positive. The girl there told me that home tests are more accurate that what they use & sent me for blood work for confirmation. I'm waiting for results this morning. Anyone ever had this happen?

My doctor's office didn't even give me a pregnancy test because they said the home ones were so good. They just scheduled an appointment for when I would be 8 weeks and verified the pregnancy with a sono.

Well, I guess they were right, I just got a call from my doctor's office and the blood test confirmed the home one! My HGC level is 221 which apparently is good!

Congrats!!  
My docs office didn't take one either. They said that since I got a BFP on a home digital, that's as good as any test they would give.

Most Dr's tests are sensitive to 50 miu home tests can be sensitive to 5 so the answer is YES
