Pregnancy Info HOME

You don't *have* to wait until the first morning pee, I never did. The reason it is suggested is because the first pee of the day is the most concentrated, meaning the test will be more accurate if you do. The only example I can think of is like.... Say you're drinking apple juice. If it's 100% concentrated apple juice you're like this is really appley apple juice... but if it's really watered down you're like hmm, is there apple juice in this? I'm not sure. In this metaphor you're a pregnancy test.... Yeah.... I hope that made sense lol

lol funny way of explaining it but yes that answered my question. But last month i took one after my missed period, since it was so late but i didn't use the first morning pee and it came out negative. Then a few days later i tested again and it was negative. that day i got what 'coulve been' my period but it didn't last as long as my normal period and was definetely not as heavy. Now it's arond the time i should be getting it (2 days late) i've been getting cramps but they're not the usualy cramps I'd get when i ge tmy period. So im really confused. I just hope i get it within the next few days..

....or like when you have a new air freshener in your car, and it smells so strong and good! Then a few days later you cant even smell it!

.....or like tea when you only let the tea bag sit for 1 minute instead of 3

....Or like a cel phone how it is fully charged in the morning and dieing when you get home.

hahaha... I'm glad you guys enjoyed my metaphor haha. Pinkk- It sounds like you aren't pregnant. Taking a test after you miss your period is pretty accurate, morning pee or not. Your hormone levels/apple juice/chocolate milk/ air freshener scent/ tea/ cell phone double every day, and you only need like a 15 or something like that to get a positive pregnancy test. So if you had a 13, which is about the number you would get if you were still pregnant but got a negative test, the next day you'd be a 26. I hope I'm not confusing you... it just sounds like your periods are acting a little funny, but not for pregnancy reasons.

not true , I took 3 pregnacy test after my missed period about a week later and then 8 days and 10 still negative but I knew from previous experience something was not rigt ,made a doc appointment and sure enough was preganat but somehow conceived 2 weeks after was considered my fertile period so the hcg level were low and would not show in pregancy test but only with blood work.

Ok... that's rare though. Low hcg levels usually isn't a good sign. With pregnancy there is ALWAYS an exception because every body is different. It's still pretty much true.....

Amanda 17, sure enough you are very well informed on these subjects/ forums. Good for you ; I learn a lot with my pregnancy and even more with the recent loss of my baby just few weeks ago. have you ever considered a career on the field? Ob ? Perinatologist you'd probably be good at it.

lol I call it too much discovery health and TLC...lmfao jk

Haha yeah DB you're probably right. Paolan- Aw, thank you. Funny you should say that because I was considering becoming an OB. Right now my goal is nursing though. I really want to pursue a career in medicine but I haven't quite decided on what field yet.
