For the best results you should wait until you are at least a day late for your period. If you get a negative result, wait a week for your period to start, if it doesn't take another test. Some tests can be taken a few days before your period is supposed to start, read the box to find out which ones have that option.

Take the test no more than 1-2 days before the expected period. Although some tests say that you can see results up to 5 days before your missed period the percentage of accuracy is very low.

More tips:

  • 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
  • urinate for as long as possible on the foam like strip
  • wait for the results!!
