A member asked:

If i take a pregnancy test in the middle of the day will it still be accurate? is there anything that will give me a false positive?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

If the level is iffy: the most accurate reading will be first morning void. However, middle of the day may provide the info you desire. Recommend that you wait until you have missed a period if negative at that time - you can retake in a week.
