I took my urine sample early morning to do a pregnancy test. But something came up and I couldn't test immediately. How long can I store this urine before doing the test, will it still be accurate?
Oh I was reading about this yesterday only! Some places say you can keep it in the fridge for a few hours if you can't test immediately. Are you trying to hide the test kit or just waiting for the right time? Let me know how it goes!
Haha don't keep it like it's some precious wine in the fridge! Keep it max for 12 hours else it will start smelling and the test might just show weird things. Better to do it fresh, wash your hands and get it over with.
Suno, urine test ke liye best toh fresh sample hi hota hai subah ka. But agar store karna hai na toh fridge mein rakh sakti ho thodi der. Haan, use room temperature pe aane dena strip use karne se pehle, direct thanda mat test karna.
Frankly speaking, why store it for long? Try to test within 1-2 hours of collecting. If there's some emergency and you must store, keep it in the fridge but not for more than 12-24 hours. Cleanliness is very important else result will be wrong.
I always prefer doing things fresh right after my morning yoga stretch, if my gynac allows. But yes, technically you can keep it in the fridge for a few hours. Just make sure it is tightly sealed so there's no contamination.
I actually had to do this because my husband wanted to be there when I tested. I kept it in the fridge for about 3 hours in a sealed cup. Did you already store it or are you planning to? I hope you get your positive!
Don't stress too much about this dear. Just try to use a clean plastic container and put it in the fridge if it's going to be more than an hour. But remember to take it out 30 minutes before testing so it reaches normal temperature.
Fresh first morning urine always works best, that's what I did. But if you have to store it, keep it in a clean airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just let it warm up to room temp before testing, it will give a clear result.
