How many hCG's do I really need for a detect early hpt?

Question

I am using one that measures 25 mIU/mL of hCG (NOT a detect early one) and wondering if this is the same amount that is in a "detect early" test?

I looked on many of the boxes to see what the amount was on the early ones, but it did not mention.....

I have been to peeonastick.com (great website!) and looked there, but still unsure.

an early detector test usually detects hcg at 20 miu/ml.  most of those you have to buy online from stores such as earlypregnancytest.com.  those are the types your doctors office use.  the early ones you find at a drug store are 25 miu/ml at the least. if they dont say early on them, then a lot them could be around 45 miu/ml.
