When Is The Best Time During The Day To Take Pregnancy Test?
How valid is a positive pregnancy test if my spouse took it in her second pee of the day? She's recently regained her period months after her pregnancy. And when she did have her period, it would start and stop in random times the week she had it. sometimes it would seem to end, then the next day it would be strong.
we had unprotected sex after her last day of bleeding. (she only had little spots then)
so how valid is the pregnancy test that we took?

Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
Urine pregnancy test gives most accurate result, a week after a missed period . Results are also more accurate if first urine sample is tested in the morning, when urine is more concentrated.Your wife's test is 90 per cent valid .Blood tests are more accurate than this,so she can repeat the pregnancy test or get her serum beta hcg done for confirmation.Hope this helps!Take care!

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Best sample is first one as it will be concentrated. Second one will be diluted and could give false negatives.
2. Immediately after periods is safe. So, low possibility.
3. At least ten days, after conception, it will be positive.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
