I took an EPT test on Monday morning and it was very positive. I am going to the Dr. tomorrow afternoon at 4:00. Is there a certain time I should stop drinking water or try not to pee so the HCG level will be more concentrated like morning urine? Thanks so much!!

drink a bit of water but not too much as it does dilute your urine and can give incorrect/false readings. they will prob do a blood test though.

The tests are so sensitive these days you don't have to use morning urine or try to make it like morning urine. If you already got a positive, just go in and take the test with the Dr. Just don't go to the bathroom right before you go, so you can go for the Dr.
good luck!

It won't be like your morning urine. When I went to confirm at the doctor's it was after 9 AM and I still got my positive. If you've already gotten a positive at home it really shouldn't matter when you go to the doctors or if you stop drinking at a certain time.

no that's probably not needed, if you already had a positive test then it will most likely be the same at the doctors. They may not test your urine, they may just do a sonogram, that's what my Dr. does. Good Luck.

It doesn't have to be that concentrated by you should make sure you are able to go so stop going to the bathroom about an hour or two depending on your body and you can drink all the water you want.

A pregnancy test is not a fasting test. You can drink water because your pregnancy hormone is going to be in your system even with water.

Ask for a blood test. Their urine tests are no difefrent than the one you took, so there's no sense in taking one again really.
Congrats!!

if you are pregnant, it will show up. no need to worry about dehydrating yourself so your urine is more concentrated. i had about 80 oz of water the day i had my test, and my test sample of urine was completely clear, but the pregnancy still showed. congrats on your pregnancy!

It won't matter, you shouldn't be doing anything to prepare for the urine test.

HCG will be in your pee no matter what at this point.
