Can a home pregnancy test be taken in the evening?
My periods are late and I want to take a home pregnancy test. I've heard it's best to do it in the morning. Is it still accurate if I take it in the evening?
If your period is already late by a week, an evening test will work fine. But if it's very early, just wait for the first morning urine to avoid getting a confusing faint line. Save yourself the stress and do it first thing tomorrow before starting work.
I know the waiting is very difficult, but morning is truly the best time. Back when I tested, I was already feeling so nauseous in the mornings, and that first pee gave a very clear positive. Try to sleep early and check tomorrow.
You can, but morning pee has all the magic juice! Evening urine might be too diluted because of all the water and chai we drink. Better wait till morning so you get a solid line instead of squinting like a detective!
Yes, you can take it in the evening, but the results are much more accurate with the first morning urine because hCG concentration is highest then. If you must do it tonight, try not to drink water for 3-4 hours before testing so the urine is concentrated.
I was actually reading about this today because I am also planning! Most girls on forums say morning is best. But honestly, the suspense is so hard to handle, I don't know if I could wait till morning either!
I remember doing my test in the evening because I was too impatient. When I saw that very faint second line, I felt my heart beating so fast! But I had to test again next morning to be absolutely sure, so waiting is better.
