    Most home urine tests are well over 90% accurate when done at the time recommended by the packaging and according to instructions.

    The blood test is most accurate early in pregnancy. If you think you may be pregnant and are taking medication which may be unsafe for pregnancy go get a blood test ASAP. The sooner you know the lower the risk to the embryo.

    Well depends on how well you read and follow the directions-for real(not being ugly). The best way to take a test is to get a cup(maybe a throw away one)and pee in it. Take the part of the test that you are suppose to pee on and hold it in the cup for however long it says on the box and lay it flat on a surface quickly. Then wait for the results. Good luck!
