Yesterday, Me and my girlfriend went to buy a First-Response kit. She took the test around 3pm and told me it came out negative -to our relief (this happened 5 days AFTER her missed period). To make sure I did further research and found out that the hCG levels, that First-Response makes it's results from, is better in the morning. We plan to test again this coming Thursday in the morning (8 days AFTER her missed period). I read the box and it says it can tell you as early as 5 days BEFORE a missed period. I just wanted to know if taking the test AFTER almost a week of her missed period gives us a higher probablity that the first test was correct. Like, would the hCG levels still be fluxuating so that taking it in the afternoon would give us false results? Also, if there is neither a greater nor lesser chance of her hCG levels having been at fault, how trust worthy is First-response? Ignoring everything I've said, what are the chances that this second test differs from the first one?

yes, your hgc levels are highest in the morning, but, she was okay to take it in the afternoon.... but, if it eases her mind take another in the morning. I don't know how old your friend is, but, it's not uncommon for younger teens to have fluxuating period cycles

You don't need to use first morning urine however thats when the urine has been sitting in the bladder for the longest amount of time and it is the most "potent" It is the best to use. It is a possibility in any test that it can be faulty. The best way to check the hcg levels are a blood test done at the drs office.

She tested right, you dont have to use first morning urine, but if you're concerned waiting a few days and peeing first thing in the morning, or any time after you've held it for a long long period of time, its the best time to test.

She NEEDS to take the pregnancy test first thing in the morning, with her first urination. That is the most accurate you can get with a home test. A blood test administered by a doctor will be the most accurate.
