If you think you are very early in your possible pregnancy (as in just missed your period), it would be better to test the first urine of the day because the hormone that you are testing for will be more concentrated. Hope this helps!

I was told that when your taking a pregnancy test you dont want to do it right in the morning. At least not your first time going to the bathroom.

Good luck

My doctor wants the very first urine of the day as a confirmation test.

Hope this helps.

Yes, first morning is more concentrated. The longest you go between urinating--which for most pple it is night time.

You take pregnancy tests with first morning urine. It has the highest concentration of hcg, the pregnancy hormone. You test ovulation with afternoon urine.

actually I think you have misunderstood where-ever you heard that. On the preg test instructions it says that first morning urine is best. (it has most concentrated level of hormones then)
