A member asked:

I dint get my periods on the 8th so i took a home pregnancy test at night . does it matter at what time i do the test.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Use AM urine: You should use your first morning urine and try not to urinate at night so as to allow your hormone of pregnancy to build up and be detectible.
