Quoting Carmen De:“ what is a MLU measurement?”

Quoting LOOPY4971:“ it's the amount of HCG in your pee....”

oh LOL but wjat does it stand for

Wouldnt we want the number to be as low as possible so we can find out sooner?

That's what I was thinking? Unless you're menopausal and the level in your system is higher...but that wouldn't make sense.

Im guessing that I would just want a ten but I think most test at the store are suppose to be 20 -100. I'm pretty sure that digi test are 100 and first response are 20. I have also read that answer test usually give positive results at 20 but sometimes as less as 15.

f*** if I know. MilileterUnit.

milliliter - ml




Ten drops from a medicine dropper is approximately 1 milliliter.

Clearblue Easy digi says 50 on the box, but many people report it detecting 17+. Hope that helps. This is a GREAt site for that kind of stuff.

okie dokie....I would actually like it to be 100 before I got a BFP, then I am assured it is not a false positive and I would have to wait longer to teast. I had a chemical preg and would have rather not known I was prego then known

The ones i buy say 10, although im not sure as ive never heard of cheapies going dark before af was due. I think over 50 is good because you really dnt wana get disappointed with a chemical/false alert.

Im on CD 6 and already thinking about POAS lol

True...good point! Still, I must like torturing myself I guess.

Some women have chemical pregnancies. So having a higher mlu measurement can avoid knowing about it.
Just curious. Its all personal preference.


And did someone say an internet cheapie wont give a positive before AF is due? i have a whole bunch and they measure at 20. I figured thats low enough to give a positive plenty early

You should be fine with them then.

yeh my cheapies are 10, my point was that they generally do not give STRONG positives before af even though they are supposed to be the most sensitive. Whereas ones in the store actually do give reasonably strong positives before af is due.
