When Is the Best Time of Day to Take a Pregnancy Test?
2 months ago
I want to know the ideal time to do a pregnancy test time of day, how many days after a missed period, and whether the test brand matters. I want to make sure I get an accurate result and not a false one.

The best time is the morning of your missed period, using your first urine of the day.
Morning urine is most concentrated, so hCG levels are at their highest. Testing in the afternoon with diluted urine can miss a low-level hCG reading and give a false negative.
Timing test on day 1 of your missed period for reliable results. If your cycle is irregular, wait at least 21 days after unprotected sex. Standard Indian brands like Prega News, I-Can, and Velocit are accurate from the missed period date when used correctly. The result window matters read it at the specified time (usually 5 minutes).
A faint line still counts as positive. A positive result means visiting a doctor. If the test is negative and your period still doesn’t come within a week, test again or consult a gynecologist.
