Hi Mindy - there was a website but since my computer hiccuped I no longer have it - that compared all the different hpt's according to the amount of hcg it detected. Walmarts brand I remember being one of the more sensitive, detecting 25 i think. Maybe some one will post it again. I do not know of any info that they have changed or false positive - however if you have not gotten your period yet, take yet another or use a different brand now that you are late - I have always sweared by clear blue easy :-)

Your symptoms may be due to being recently off the pill - increased thirst is also a sign of diabetes tho, so beware. On a brighter note, it certainly can mean pregnancy too - good luck! Let us know how things turn out!
