How important is first morning urine for testing?

Shanikin posted:

Hi everyone! My husband and I have been TTC for a few months now and I am currently on day 3 of my missed period. I took a test on Saturday morning, which was the day that I was due to start my period and the test came back negative. I did NOT take with first morning urine, I completely forgot..we are new at this so i'm still learning the ropes

I have been feeling SLIGHTLY nautious and light headed. Today is the first day that my breasts are sort of tender. I try not to read in to anything too much though, since these are often PMS symptoms that I get as well. I plan on testing again in a few days but I just wanted some other opinions. My period is very regular, every 35 days on the dot. What doy you guys think?

It depends on how far along you are? If your period is only a few days late, then it is critical. Most people don't have something to drink during the night so the first morning urine is more concentrated and that makes the pregnancy hormone more concentrated.

use your very first urine, it will have higher concentrated levels of hgc. no you dont have to use FMU but it is best.
