For more accurate test results, we recommend using it up to five days before your period is expected to begin, or nine days after ovulation starts.

Taking the test immediately on the day where you’ve missed your period may be considered ‘too early’ because there is insufficient time for your body to build up a detectable level of hCG.

Morning tends to be the best time to take home pregnancy tests, because hCG levels in urine are concentrated after a night without much drinking and peeing. If you're still very early in your pregnancy and hCG levels are only starting to rise, it may be wise not to test at night.

While it is super important to stay hydrated, keep in mind that drinking a bunch of liquid in the few hours before testing can dilute your urine and cause a false negative result (meaning you could be pregnant, but the test will show you’re not).

If you’re testing before your expected period, we recommend that you test first thing in the morning (when your urine has a higher concentration of hCG) if you tend to drink a lot of water throughout the day.

There may be instances of false positives or negatives. Common reasons for these readings include taking the test too early during a missed period, checking the results window late (waiting more than 10min), or simply using the test kit incorrectly. Ensure that you have the test’s instructions and administer it during the recommended time frame.

The best times to test are between 11:00 am to 3:00 pm and between 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Early morning testing is not recommended as LH does not appear in the urine until later in the day. To ensure that you do not miss your surge, you may test twice a day, once in the earlier time frame and once in the later time frame. The detection limit for the LH Test Kit is 25 mIU/ml LH. Urine samples with LH concentrations of 25 mIU/ml or greater will induce a positive test result.

Testing should be done at approximately the same time each day. Reduce liquid intake for 2 hours before testing.
