pregnancy tests - does it matter WHEN?

Does it have to be first thing in the morning or is it the same to just do it at night before going to bed?

In the past when I had 'scares' and DH & I weren't ready yet, I used to test at night. But now that I'm taking it more seriously, I want to do it right. Chat Icon

Does it even matter?

FMU is generally recommended (first morning urine), but I've read on here that other LIFers have gotten their BFPs when they tested in the afternoon or at night.

I think part of it is to make sure you haven't pee'd for at least a few hours before hand.

i used to always say take it with FMU but now there are so many girls getting their BFP's at anytime!

just make sure you have enough of a hold so its more concentrated!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

You will get your best results in the morning. If you've already missed AF then the timing shouldn't matter as much.

yes and if you do it later in the day try not to drink tons before you take it because that will lessen the concentration
