Sharon,

I tested 11 days post-OV with the Equate brand (Wal-Mart brand that registers 20 units of hCG believe it or not) and I got a VERY faint positive past the time you're supposed to count. So then I tested again 2 days later at 13 days post-OV and got increasingly darker positive lines (also with Equate).

BTW, according to the info I have on HPT sensitivity, Self-Care detects as low as 25 mIUs but is "guaranteed" at 50, so maybe you should try Equate? Other HPTs that detect 25 mIUs are One Step Be Sure and LifeSign 1 Midstream.

Good luck and I hope you get a positive soon!
