Content: However, it is more expensive, the results can take time, and the test must be completed in a medical office. When can I take it? The earliest time for taking a home urine test is 14 days after possible conception, but waiting until a missed period will give a more reliable result. Some tests on the market can be taken earlier. This depends on how sensitive they are. It is important to read the package insert to know the best and earliest time to take the test. The best time of day to take a urine pregnancy test is first thing in the morning, after waking. This is because consuming a lot of liquids before taking the test, can lead to a false negative, even if the woman is pregnant. What happens next? Used correctly, a urine pregnancy test should be around 99 percent accurate.
