No: The urine pregnancy tests work by measuring the presence of a hormone in the urine. It is recommended to do it with fresh urine collected at the moment of using the pregnancy test.

Hi Doctor, I have a problem every-time at night I go frequently to the bathroom to pee. Either I over-produce urine at night or I just can't empty it. I go to the bathroom more than five time and when I try to sleep I can't because I want to go pee.
