Yes as it dilutes the urine and thus the hormone. A pregnancy test should be done on the first urine passed in the nmorning as this is the most concentrated and will have the highest concentration of the hormone.

Yes; the excessive amount of water can dilute your urine, which will in turn dilute your hcg concentrate causing the test to be read improperly. To ensure the best results for a home pregnancy test:

  • Take the test in the morning, if possible, because your hCG (pregnancy hormone) levels are at it's highest
  • Don't drink a bunch of fluids before taking the test because it will dilute your urine and can affect the results
  • Take the test no more than 1 day before expected period. OR 14 days after intercourse (sex). Although some test say that you can see results up to 5 days before your missed period, the percentage of accuracy is very low.
  • urinate for as long as possible on the foam-like strip
  • Check the results in the window frame of time suggested by the instructions of the pregnancy test.

Yes because the water or any excess fluid dilutes your urine causing a false negative. If you have still not got your period retest again in a few days with the first wee of the morning. Pregnancy hormones are generally higher in the first urine.
