Pretty accurate: Even drinking 1/2 bottle of water shouldn't dilute your pregnancy test results. It used to be that we recommended taking the test first thing in the morning when urine most concentrated, however, the technology of tests has gotten better and pregnancies are detected at earlier dates. If you're worried, take another test first thing tomorrow morning, but results likely same.
