Content: 5. Test using the morning urine
Using the morning urine for the test is more likely to yield correct results. The first urine of the day which is the morning urine is more concentrated and likely to have higher levels of hormone hCG. 6. Stream test or Dip test
Some test may involve placing the pregnancy test stick underneath the urine stream for a few seconds until it soaks fully. Some urine testing kits may require collecting the urine sample in a cup and dipping the activation end of the stick into the urine. Other may come with a dropper to put a few drops of collected urine on the stick. 7. Different time requirements
Different brands of pregnancy test kits may have varying specifications for the waiting period of the result or the symbols used to define the results. Familiarize yourself with the instructions carefully to understand the results better.
