A member asked:

Does it matter what type of container you use when dipping urine for a pregnancy test. i used a glass cup, clean and dry. just want to make sure the glass doesnt interfere with an accurate result. ?

No worries: Any clean, dry container is fine. Urine pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by foods, herbs, common illnesses, sexually transmitted diseases, or medications. A correctly done urine test gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have happened) or 1 week after missing a period.
