Content: If it’s in your hands and you’re able to wait until early morning the next day before taking the test, then doing that is ideal and will ensure a much more accurate result. Why Does It Matter What Time You Take A Pregnancy Test? To answer this question best, let’s first quickly cover how exactly home pregnancy tests work. These tests are able to give you back an accurate answer based on the levels of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) that they detect in your urine at the time of testing. The placenta greatly increases production of this hormone in the body only a few days after implantation occurs and a pregnancy has become reality. Now, a good percentage of women testing for pregnancy know that as far as timing is concerned, waiting until one week after a missed period and then taking the pregnancy test is extremely important in order to get back an accurate result – regardless of whether it’s a negative or a positive. This is because not enough levels of the hormone hCG will be present in your urine for the pregnancy test kit to detect if you take the test anytime sooner than one week after your missed period. So, now that we’ve quickly covered the vital role that the hormone hCG plays in pregnancy tests and how accurate they end up being, did you know that this hormone is more detectable during certain times in one 24 hour period than others? Yup, you’ve guessed where we’re going with this – pregnancy tests can detect human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) much more accurately during early morning time vs night time. Why is this exactly, you ask?
