Instructions in kit: It is important to follow all the instructions in the test kit carefully, including the time for reading the test results. If you wish to repeat the test, use first morning urine.

Standard: Most pregnancy tests have instructions that say wait for several minutes to read the result. Your result is likely accurate.
