doctor's testing accuracy

I was just wondering if the doctor's urine test for pregnancy is of a higher sensitivity or a lower sensitivity then the regular HPT.

They are not a sensitive as the ones you can get that test sooner.  I work at a doctors office and only started showing up positive on their tests about 1 - 1 1/2 weeks after I got my BFP at home.  I got mine with the Answer Early Results and then confirmed by a First Response Early Response and Clear Blue digital.

Actually the tests at the Dr's office are not very sensitive at all .You are better off usuing a first response at home. That is the one I have found to be the most sensitive =)
