Is it necessary to take a pregnancy test only with early morning urine? My period is delayed by 20 days, will the result still be accurate if I take the test at night or at any other time of the day?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is recommended to use early morning urine for a pregnancy test because it has the highest concentration of hCG hormone, especially in the early days of a missed period. However, after a 20 day delay in your period, the hCG levels will usually be high enough to give an accurate result even if you take the test at night or any time of the day. If your test is negative and your period still does not start, repeat the test after a few days or consult your doctor. A serum Beta HCG test may help confirm the diagnosis and rules out any false negatives.
