Bought a test strip today and im sitting here staring at it lol. After peeing on it how long should i wait before reading the result? dont want to check too early and panic.
Most home kits show the result in about 3 to 5 minutes, read it within the time on the instructions. Dont read it after a long time, that can give a false line. First morning urine gives the clearest result.
The kit usually takes a few minutes, like 3 to 5, and you should read it in that window only. My doctor warned that reading after 10 minutes can show an evaporation line that isnt real. So follow the timing on the pack exactly.
I set a timer on my phone for the exact minutes on the kit instructions. Reading too soon or too late both messed things up before. Stick to the time written and use morning urine.
