According to this: http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/brands.php the ept's sensitivity is 25miu. Assuming hcg doubles every 48-72 hours, you should trip a digital (sensitively 50miu) in 2-3 days. However, I think epts actually can pick up levels lower than 25, so it could take a little longer. I'd probably save the pricey digital for another day or two and see how the line tests are doing.

By the way, congrats!!!
