Content: You may already know how to take the test, but when you take it is also important when it comes to ensuring accuracy. At-home pregnancy tests work by measuring the amount of a pregnancy hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in your urine. This hormone can be detected at any time of day, so it's OK to take the test at night. But to be on the safe side, follow a few simple guidelines to increase your odds of an accurate result.

For the most reliable results, it's recommended that pregnancy tests be conducted in the morning when the urine is most concentrated. As the day goes on and more fluids are consumed, it may be more difficult to detect hCG levels—especially if you’re testing in advance of your missed period. Keep in mind that the closer you are to the date of your scheduled menstrual cycle, the more accurate the results. Some tests claim to detect hCG as early as five days before a missed period, but it may take waiting until the day of your missed period for your hCG levels to be measurable. If your urine is too diluted from a day's worth of beverages, there may not be enough hCG to yield a positive result. Resources for your journey...
