The sensitivity of the test will usually be listed on the website and generally ranges from 20 - 50 Miu (usually 25Miu). However, from my experience online dip stick tests usually read much fainter positive than store bought. Keeping into account this and that some women don't test positive until a week after their period is due, you might want to wait a couple more days (if you can) and test with First Response Early or another test at 25Miu. If you don't want to spend the money, you can wait another week and if your period still hasn't come, go to your doctor for a urine test. All of this advice applies if you know the day you ovulated either because you charted, or you took OPKs, or you were being monitored by ultrasound. Otherwise, it could be that you ovulated later (or not at all) and wouldn't test positive yet. Good luck! Hope you get the Big Fat Positive soon! Not a doc.
