Haha, definitely the first thing in the morning! I remember waking up at 5 AM, sleepy-eyed, desperately trying not to drink water before taking the test. Good luck, hope you get the result you want!
Always use the first morning urine for the most reliable results. Since I had a history of ectopic pregnancy, my doctor advised me to test as soon as possible and call them immediately once it showed positive.
Actually, my doctor explained that HCG levels are most concentrated in your first morning urine. If you test later in the day, especially after drinking water, the urine gets diluted and might show a false negative.
Beta, old people always say to test with the first urine of the day right after waking up. Don't drink any water before doing it. Take care and eat some soaked almonds in the morning too.
I once tested in the afternoon and got a negative, which made me panic like crazy! But when I tested again the next morning, it was a clear positive. So please don't repeat my mistake—only test with the first morning urine!
My mother told me to always do it early in the morning when you first wake up. That is when the urine is most concentrated and gives the most accurate result, beta.
It is best to do it first thing in the morning. But if your period is late by many days and the test still shows negative, please go check with your gynac for a blood test instead of guessing.
