The further in to the pregnancy you are the higher the levels of HCG in your urine.This pregnancy dip strip detects HCG in urine at a concentration of 10mIU/ml (MilliInternational Units) or greater. The concentration of HCG in non-pregnant women is normally 5.0mIU/ml. At the time of the last missed menstrual period, urine HCG levels are about 100mlU/ml with peak levels of 100,000 to 200,000mlU/ml seen at the end of the first trimester."
But I wouldn't feel 100% sure until I'd started a period though...
On the other hand,either way I couldn't do anything about it anyway until I was really overdue by at least a few days... |
Zoggite - not sure if it's my interpretation of the info given in the original post but I worked out that EHC taken on about day 14 which is not the optimum window of efficiency - it's now considered to be the worst time to take it.

Like I said could just be how I interpreted it. Fully agree with rest of what you said tho!
