I used the hpt's bought from www.by-his-mercies.com with this baby. They gave me a positive at 5 minutes. I used an e.p.t. and an early Pregnancy test to confirm my results at 14 and 16 days post ovulation. If you really want to be safe and to receive an accurate result, wait until the day that your period is due to test, otherwise you may receive a false negative. Or, if you're like me, and feel pretty sure that you are pregnant, go ahead and test with a sensitive one--you may be pleasantly surprised. I know I was!
