At home my mother-in-law said to just pee on it, but my doctor advised using a clean cup to avoid contamination. Collecting the mid-stream urine in a small cup and using the dropper gives the most accurate results.
When I was staying at mummy's house, she bought me a small plastic cup for this. She told me to collect the first morning urine nicely and then use the dropper carefully so there is no mess. It was so simple and hassle-free.
Haha, trying to aim directly on that tiny stick is a recipe for disaster and wet fingers, trust me! Just use a disposable cup, dip the strip or use the dropper. Safe, clean, and no gymnastic moves required in the bathroom!
Oh, I totally understand how overwhelming even this simple step can feel when you are hoping for good news. It is much easier and cleaner to collect it in a small cup first, then use the dropper gently. Sending you so much love and prayers!
Actually, my doctor specifically told me not to pee directly on the strip because a high-pressure stream can mess up the test area. The safest way is to collect morning pee in a clean small plastic cup, then use the dropper given in the box to put exactly 3 drops.
Omg, I was so scared of doing it wrong and getting an invalid result! I read the manual like ten times. Please don't pee directly on it, use a cup and dropper otherwise you might get a blank test and panic unnecessarily.
