How accurate is an EPT home pregnancy test?
Laboratory based pregnancy tests are considered to be 98-99% accurate. Home based tests are considered to be somewhat less accurate. To get the most accurate result it helps to wait at least one week from your first missed period before doing a pregnancy test. It is important to carefully read and follow all of the instructions that come with the home pregnancy test. If your test is positive, or if you believe that you are pregnant, an examination by your doctor will confirm it so you can be sure.
