Can i do pregnancy test in evening?

Question

I'm really anxious to take a pregnancy test, but I missed doing it first thing in the morning. Can I still do a pregnancy test in the evening and get an accurate result, or is morning the only reliable time?

Evening tests can work if your period is already late by a week. Otherwise, stick to the first morning urine for an accurate hCG reading.

Please wait until morning to get the most accurate result. Early evening tests can sometimes show false negatives which might break your heart unnecessarily.

My mother told me to wait for the morning as the result is clearer. My doctor also confirmed that first morning urine has the highest hormone level for a correct test.

I am planning to test soon too and was wondering the same! Let us know how it goes if you test tonight.

I felt so impatient that I tested in the evening and got a very faint line. It made me so anxious, so I recommend waiting for the morning test.

You can, dear, but morning is always better. Keep a positive mind and try testing tomorrow morning for a clearer result.

If you can't wait, go ahead and test now, but don't drink too much water before testing so your urine isn't diluted. But for absolute certainty, do it tomorrow morning.
