Hi, I am a 17 year old female. I am ten days late on my period and i have taken two home pregnancy test that have both been negative. I have never taken one first thing in the morning. & my period is usually pretty regular. but, i had a stomach virus this past month so I am wondering if that could be what is affecting my period? my boyfriend and i have always been safe but we had a condom break. I tried birth control but since i have borderline personality disorder and anxiety attacks it really messed with my emotions. That's why I am not currently taking it. I am reaching out for help so please no negative comments. Thank you!
Hi Scared,
Take the test first thing in the morning.
Your urine is more concentrated at that point so, for a given sample size, the amount of hCG is higher than at any other point during the day. hCG is the hormone that the pregnancy test looks for and reacts to.
By now the test should be accurate but sometimes the test don't always work either.
