QuestionMy husband and I are trying to get pregnant, and we are anxious to know. When should I take a pregnancy test? Is there a time of day when the test will be more accurate?
AnswerThe best time to take a pregnancy test is about 5 days after you miss your period and you should take it first thing in the morning. The morning is best because your urine first thing in the morning will have the highest level of hCg's.
