Re: Taking a test
I searched and found this:
Q: How long do I need to hold my urine? Is first morning urine the best sample?
Because home pregnancy tests detect hCG, it is best to collect urine samples containing the highest presence of the hCG hormone. Diluted samples (from drinking high volumes of water / frequent urination) are not recommended and can diminish test accuracy. Instead, first morning urine is considered the ideal sample as it contains the most concentrated presence of hCG. Otherwise, waiting several hours (4-5 minimum) is also considered sufficient duration for an HPT.

Re: Taking a test
This info on testing in the morning is very helpful, thanks. I didn't know it was recommended to do it in the a.m. either!!
