How long do i have to hold in my pee to test?

Question

didn't have a pee stick this morning, bought one while running errands and want to pee on it already.

my story again: don't have a regular period so i don't have the luxury of assuming the best of a missed period. been off of BC for over a year now. TCC for about a year. started taking herbal vitamins recently hoping to help regulate a bit but i was feeling symptoms which i would love to be baby, but could be PMS... so i stopped taking the vitamins just in case and want to test today... if i get a neg then i continue with vitamins, if i get a BFP i throw a party and everyone's invited! lol

(BTW: i started reading Taking Charge of your Fertility... i wish i had read this years ago....)

Answer 1

The best is first thing in the morning. Try to wait until then because it will give you the most accurate results

Answer 2

At least 4 hours, and don't drink alot of fluids, that will dilute your wee :)

Answer 3

My Source tells me over night holding is best because u aint using the toilet as u do during the day that way the stick understands your urine properly.

Answer 4

My fertility specialist told me that it is best to take it with the morning urine because your body has sat for at least 8 hours. So i suppose it would be 8 hours you would have to wait. I always buy a 2 pack test cause I know I will get home  and want to take one. Good luck and I hope everything turns out great. Babydust!
