SUBJECT: HPT Madness....!
After reading everyone else's testing torture, I don't feel so bad about my utter confusiom either!

I'm sure I'm trying to test waaaay too early, which is contributing to my mixed results (5 days post-coital) but I've taken 2 "Answer" early HPTs and two "Clearblue Easy" early test, the first two showing a faint positive line and the second two reading negative. I'm fairly sure both brands detect as little as 25mIU of HCG, but not completely sure about the Clearblue Easy one. Has anyone alse experienced this?

My Hubby is a nurse in a Dr's office, so he's going to order a blood test for me, but now I'm wondering if even taking a blood test will be too early also. He said they can detect as low as 1-3mIU of HCG, but I'm wondering if I'm waisting my time (and money!.

I really, REALLY hate waiting...even though this is only our first month of trying, I want to know NOW!

Anyone else experience this??
