Is it necesary to take the pregnancy test at home with the early morning urine or is any of the day fine ?

Dr. Bachar Al-Alami answered

Specializes in ADHD & Autism

No Random urine OK: A random urine sample can be used for testing because HCG production is not circadian, and a low urine specific gravity does not appear to alter the sensitivity of detecting hcg, unless the test used has a high threshold for HCG positivity or the urine specimen is extremely dilute.
