Knowing the right time to take a pregnancy test can help ensure that you get the most accurate results. Taking a home pregnancy test too early can result in a false negative result. This means that you have conceived but there is not enough hCG hormone (the pregnancy hormone) in urine to show a positive result. In some rarer instances, the home testing kit can give a positive reading even though you are not pregnant (false positive). In other cases, the urine pregnancy test may show a faint positive line or evaporation line which usually indicates that you are pregnant. However, in these cases it’s best to repeat the test to make sure it’s not a false positive result.
