Hey Monica. Yes drinking fluids before taking an HPT can definitely dilute your urine, making the concentration of HCG less (if there is some there). That's why they say to use your first urine of the day...you haven't been drinking anything all night. And for most people you have been sleeping so you have probably held it in longer. After a certain amount of time, if you are pregnant it will show up no matter what, but if you are looking for early detection--you'd want the most concentrated urine you can get. Good luck to you!

The best time to test is in the morning before. Drinking at night will not effect the test . while we sleep our urine gets more consentrated because our body re uses the water stored in our bladder.
