How accurate are EPT home test?? --UPDATED
I am only 2 days late but was feeling odd, so ....I couldn't wait any longer and took the EPT today. Well the results were a very CLEAR POSITIVE, but....I am not sure how accurate these tests are.
I went to Quest for a blood test but won't have the results until Saturday, and I am so impatient!! I don't post much but I am 38 and DH and I have been trying for a while -- in fact I was going to schedule the HSG for this month.
So ladies, in your experience, how reliable are these tests??
Thanks -
I am afraid to get all psyched up!
UPDATED: JUST GOT MY BLOOD TEST RESULTS AND I AM PREGGERS!!!!!

Re: How accurate are EPT home test??
I'd say "welcome to the Mommy club!!!", once you are late the tests are 99.9% accurate, they are the same if not similar tests that they use in OB offices! Do another one and maybe try the pregnant vs npt pregnat tests, My gut tells me you have a little bean in your belly!!! I have always used EPT and they have always been right.

Re: How accurate are EPT home test??
Thank you so much.....this month we tried something different - we bd'd days 9, 11 and 13. And I used a tampon afterwards to "keep it all in", maybe that's what did it!!

Re: How accurate are EPT home test??
You are all so sweet, thank you so much!! Today sometime after 4pm I will get the definitive results from the blood test. I have no patience whatsoever, I want to tell the whole world, but DH is sooo discreet. Ah well, what's another few days wait, I suppose.
We are boththe youngest of 6 and I think both families thought the babies for this generation were DONE....LOL..!!
PS -- I ordered that Fertility book everyone was raving about, have not received it yet...anyone want it????
