    One Step Pregnancy Test
    I took a one step pregnancy test, 3 days before my expected period using my fist urine sample of the morning. I was sleepy and glanced at it and thought it said negative because the vertical line was showing.
    I woke up 2-3 hours later and I saw a very faint horizontal line ( making it look positive). However, the instuctions say to discard test 10 minutes after taking the urine sample. Is this true and would it be too soon to take another test the next day or should I wait to see if I miss my period?

    The result you got after your nap was incorrect. The results must be read during the time specified on the instructions.

    Take another test in the morning.

    Pregnancy tests are best taken in the morning as the concentration of hCG (pregnancy hormone) is highest then. You may risk a false negative if taken any other time during the day.

    Thanks for your answers. I took another test this morning and it was positive. I am going to see my doctor tomorrow. I guess I will be having my first baby in March.
    I am moving across country in 1 week. I hope all goes well.
