By the time you're a week late?  Should be very accurate!  False negatives occur sometimes if a person tests too early; false positives are very rare.  Using first morning urine is a good way to ensure the most accurate results.  Good luck!

Agreed. False positives (unless you're receiving some fertility treatment or have another reason for having the pregnancy hormone in your body) are pretty much unheard of.

My suggestion if you're going to test tonight (although this is just my own personal theory) is to try not to drink very much this afternoon and before you test. First morning urine is supposed to be best because it's more concentrated, but that should allow you to get a more concentrated sample tonight.

Married my love on October 20, 2007;
our sweet little Owen Thomas arrived October 23, 2008!

Ok. thanks!! I picked up the "first response" pregnancy test. it says that it doesn't matter what time of day i test...I'm so nervous.  I keep looking at it, and thinking OMG...lol

I think this is one of those things where the not knowing and wondering is much tougher than dealing with either possible outcome!  Whatever the results may be, I bet you start to feel better once you're not in limbo anymore!

I just read the "harsh comments" that a PP was refering to and I have to say that if you think you're not ready for the baby and terminating and adoption are not an option to you - you are more ready than you think!  You're probably just having a hard time dealing with the fact that your selfishly lazy lifestyle now has a countdown (ok fine, that last part was just in my case! LOL) 

I became unexpectedly pregnant and as wierd as it was to panic about having a baby I instantly fell in love with our baby as soon as I knew I was having it.  So what you don't know about folic acid?  You learn right?  the rest will come...

Now do me a favor and go find out!
