Question

Is it necessary to do this in the morning?

Answer 1

No it isnt necessary but your HCG hormone levels are highest in the morning as you havent urinated all night long. It will give you a better result! Good luck!

Answer 2

No, but if you're testing around the due date of your period, then you should use FMU which is more concentrated in the hormone you're testing for. My sister got a dark line BFP on her evening test, but her period was already 10 days late by then (she had been on a cruise, and they don't sell HPTs in the onboard gift shop :)

If you need to test later in the day, you should not drink too much liquid and don't pee for 4 hours. That would raise the concentration of hCG.

Answer 3

It is only recommended that you test with first morning urine. This is because the level of hCG hormes is the highest. If you are testing before your expected period, you should use first morning urine; this is not required, however it does help for most accurate results.

Answer 4

its always better to do it first thing as your urine is undiluted and more concentrated with more HCG than at other times of the day

Answer 5

They always say that its best to take it with your FMU [First morning urine] however I know plenty of women [including me!] who just plain couldn't wait that long!

The reason that most pregnancy tests recommend first morning urine is that this urine typically contains the highest concentration of hCG, the pregnancy hormone. However, if you work nights or your sleep is interrupted by bathroom breaks, you may have the most concentrated urine at this time.

You can recreate first morning urine by not using the bathroom for at least four hours. You must also not drink more than your normal amount or you can dilute your urine.

Typically after the fourth of fifth week of pregnancy your levels of hCG are high enough without having to use first morning urine.

It does not matter if you urinate on the stick or in a cup.

Answer 6

Not necessary. I took mine the day after my missed period. It was 4pm than at 8pm. Both positive. Mind you they were light, but def positive. It's just because it was early in the pregnancy. I was only 4 1/2 weeks pregnant.
