A member asked:

How accurate are hpt if you ''think" you are about 5 months along and take the two test 5 months after sex? both neg. and don't want to b preg. help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tests are excellent: If done properly they are very good. Your HCG levels should be at least 20, 000. The tests can detect HCG levels about 1000 times less than that.
