When it comes to how accurate are pregnancy tests the first morning urine is the best option because it is more concentrated and therefore contains the highest amount of hCG hormone. If you use a diluted sample it can diminish the results of the pregnancy test, particularly if you are testing prior to when your period is due. If, for whatever reason you can’t use the first morning urine, then you need to have urine that has been in your bladder for about 4 hours. However, don’t try drinking heaps of water or fluid to “fill up” so to speak, because it will still be too diluted, so just commence your usual drinking patterns. One thing to note is that a lot of brands state you can test anytime of the day, but they will still say the first morning sample is the best and this applies to all pregnancy tests. When you are testing at 7 and 8dpo the early morning test is essential because if a faint line is going to show up, it will definitely be more likely at this time than any other time. Don’t worry, we all do more than one test a day sometimes when you just can’t wait another day, and if you do see a faint line with that first morning pregnancy test, you will absolutely doing more than one test that day! But, just remember that how accurate are pregnancy tests relies on the concentration of the morning urine test.



Hi, my name is Gabbi, when it took 7 years to get pregnant with our second child I spent so much time searching the internet for answers, particularly about how accurate are pregnancy tests. I wanted to create a place with information, that also gives you up to date pregnancy test reviews and the latest news on what's new. I hope you enjoy and good luck! :)
This is just what I had to see, thanks a lot for writing it.
