First-morning urine and non-first-morning urine pregnancy test

Morning urine is the urine produced in the morning. Morning urine is required when conducting a pregnancy test. Urine is a waste product of the body's metabolism, and its composition is basically the same. When conducting an examination, morning urine needs to be used for the examination, which makes many people wonder why non-morning urine cannot achieve the same effect. So, what is the difference between testing pregnancy with morning urine and non-morning urine? Let’s take a look below.

When testing for pregnancy, try to use the first urine in the morning, because hormone levels are easiest to detect at this time. Testing in the morning, noon, afternoon and evening is not as accurate as testing in the morning. If this is not possible, make sure the urine has been in the bladder for at least four hours before testing. In particular, be careful not to drink too much water to increase urine production, as this will dilute hormone levels.

Generally speaking, the correct time to use a pregnancy test stick is 7-10 days after intercourse, and it is best to use morning urine. The longer the time after sex, the more accurate the test results will be.

Precautions when using pregnancy test sticks

1. Pay attention to the production date on the packaging box and do not use expired pregnancy test strips, because chemical agents will become ineffective over time or if stored improperly.

2. Read the instructions carefully before doing the self-test, and then follow the instructions carefully.

3. Pregnancy test sticks are generally more accurate if checked 7 days after the period is delayed. Because it is related to HCG in the body, it can only be clearly measured when HCG reaches a certain level, so it is best used 7 days after menstruation is delayed.

5. The best time to test pregnancy test stick is generally in the morning. The highest HCG value is generally found in the morning urine, so the result is relatively accurate. If you do the self-test at night, the accuracy will be affected to a certain extent.

The pregnancy test stick is the same as the early pregnancy test paper. It determines whether a woman is pregnant by detecting the HCG content in the urine of the woman. However, it should be noted that this is for women with regular menstruation. If women with irregular menstruation use the pregnancy test stick, the test results will be very unreliable. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a blood HCG or color ultrasound examination.
