The BEST Time to Take a Pregnancy Test!

Ever had a pregnancy test come out negative when you really were pregnant?

It may have something to do with when you took it! (Either that or the test may have been expired).

The pregnancy hormone, BHCG, gets excreted in urine. As you drink more water, you are diluting the hormone and decreasing the concentration of the hormone that is found in the urine at any given time. As you urinate throughout the day, you are also excreting the hormone and the amount found in the urine.

So, the BEST time to take the test is when you have not drank or urinated for several hours, which is typically in the morning! All of the hormone has “built up” in your system overnight and is ready to be excreted in the morning! You’ll also notice pregnancy tests giving a “stronger” positive result in the morning vs later in the day.

Try and take the test as early as possible, but also know, that taking it AFTER your first missed period means a lower chance of a false result! Remember, an abnormal or lighter period can also represent a “missed period” as well!

Hope this helps someone! 🫶🏽 ❤️

I can't be the only one who studied for my pregnancy test and passed

[faithemilyd]

Unless your irregular and have no idea when that would be this month😂

[Nali]

The day of my missed period it was negative, 3 days later it was positive

[shaqaellerose]

Here I am again 4 months later after a couple scares, and periods lol now I’m🤰🏾

[Anastasi_B]

I did mine the afternoon my period was supposed to start & it came out positive immediately.

[daniaddl]

Well this isn’t accurate for everyone lol i missed my period and tested 6 days after and still got a negative. That whole week tested everyday until I hit the 8th day and finally got a positive

[chachi-iwiv]

I was 4 days late and kept getting negatives sometimes periods are irregularly mine usually aren’t but it was this time around 😢super devastated

[TreasureFelix-petl]

In god name I will have cramps tomorrow

Twice I've tested faint positives 6 days before my missed period with the $1 cheap tests! Then one time I tested negative 2 days before my missed period, assumed I was just imagining symptoms so the symptoms stopped after that, but then a week after my period was due I remembered I was supposed to have a period 🤔 according to that negative test, I was pregnant though... Also I've had negative tests because of drinking too much liquids.

I know we all see many yt vid that we can check it earlier, but listen to her. Best time is after missed period. I checked many times before missed period, and it only gave me unnecessary roller coaster of anxiety. I also got false positive, only to get my period the next day. I expected to have a baby but turns out i wasnt pregnant :(

I’m 7 days late and I also have irregular period. I got BFP just now and it’s not a faint line I will be testing again. I’m shocked cause I had no major symptoms except for mild cramping 2 days ago on my left lower stomach and weird taste in my mouth. Mild nausea when eating but I thought it was all in My head.

It depends on how long your cycle is guys. I get my cycle every 22-24 days consistently. Recently I've been getting my period exactly every 24 days. Because my monthly cycle is slightly shorter my period is closer to when I ovulate and therefore I'm only like 8-10 dpo on the day I'm supposed to get my period

[julieannjamjammenil]

When should i take a pregnancy test again maam? I took a test after 2 days of missed period and its negative

[angielopez]

But I did and it still came out negative but I'm LIGHTLY spotting and it's really really pick and vibrant

[nickilouise]

Not the case for me I have irregular periods and it took a month for my test to come positive

[jessicahanson]

With my youngest son I took test every day and kept getting negative results till day 4 of my missed period then I got dark results over and over again out of disbelief I took a few because the day before they were blank and I was confused.

[josephhale]

She's giggling now. Just wait😂😂😂😂🎉

[euronymous]

I’m 2 weeks late and negative pregnancy test ima wait and than do another one still no period

[Pgb]

Am confused should it be missed period or late period by 1 or 2 days ?
Pls specify when exactly to take the test ?

[xxyourwaifuxxxx]
