As long as you go about 4 hours in between going through the night then you should be okay. They say first morning urine because you're most likely to have went over 4 hours without peeing or drinking any fluids - fluids dilute your urine and so the hCG hormone is not picked up as easily.
And to calculate how far along I would be if I were pregnant I start with the day of MLP and count up from there right?
Only thing with me is it is hard to get first morning urine as I wake up in the middle of the night usually twice to go to the bathroom anyway. (I've already been to a doctor about this in the past and it is not a medical concern). Anyway, I guess I will just have to wait some more.
If you're late then you can take a test now and get an accurate answer - remember to use first morning urine since it's most concentrated with hCG so you'll get an accurate answer.
Some people, yes, don't show up on a pregnancy test when their period is late but this is rare and is usually due to the fact that they either ovulated later than they though - so their period is going to be later and it was too early to test, or they haven't used first morning urine so their urine was too diluted to pick up the hCG hormone in early pregnancy.
If you know when you ovulated and your period is late a test should accurately show up an answer whether you're pregnant or not. If you are late, and get a negative answer then wait another 5-7 days and if still no period, and no sign she's going to show then re test - always with first morning urine since it's most accurate and is least likely to give false answers.
Some people dnt get a positive until their about 6weeks but other women get a positive as soon as they enter the 4th week it depends how fast your hormones are doubling, count from your LMP and try and figure out how far are you , wait about 3-4 days and test again
I too am wondering. I know people say you can take it right after you missed a period but I know in some people it takes longer then this to show up positive. I was due sometime between Dec. 29th and January 6th and I took a test this morning and it was negative. I know that my period is probably just late but I was wondering if I AM pregnant how long can it take for a test to show up positive? I think I read to wait a week and take another but that seems like a really long time to wait...
My period did not come on this month it suppose to be on jan 3 and it still didt come on
When your period is due, of if it's late. If you're irregular and don't know when your period is due then 2-3 weeks after intercourse is when to test. Either way, be sure to use first morning urine.
And after you missed period
Early in the morning! Ur first urine of the day!
