Which is the better method?
Does anyone know if there is a difference between the two methods of taking an at home pregnancy test? The packaging says you can either hold the test directly in your urine stream, or dip the test in a cup of urine... Is either way "better" than the other?

i prefer the cup too but make sure it is sterile or a disposable cup you can throw away when done. It must be clean also. Using the cup as others said is easier and less messy. Some tests get ruined if you do midstream and your aim is off hittin the test window. I had a test recenetly that wanted me to hold it in the dtream for 10 seconds... doesn't sound like much but it was very hard and just confirmed why i usually use a cup.

hi, Set 10 PM through fact the time to flow to mattress and close your eyes. Set 6 AM through fact the time to arise and get off the mattress. Brush your tooth and get all those issues performed until eventually now 10 PM. it ought to take awhile yet set up this habitual and persist with it. The day you initiate this habitual, you arise at 6 AM. The 6 AM arise gadgets the point for the ten PM mattress time. Your concepts will ultimately get experienced to flow to sleep at 10 PM and wake at 6 AM. sometimes a heat glass of milk and perchance some non-obligatory protein until eventually now mattress could help set off this habitual. no longer something candy. as quickly as this habitual gadgets in you could no longer be drained during the day.

Pee in the cup, mostly just because then you can accidently pee on the window. Less chance of making a mess too. I find its easier to time that way also...just hold it in the pee for 5 seconds or however long it says.
Good luck!

both are effective........don't worry so much. Just pee on the stick and don't splash the window but the window is usually covered by plastic now a days........get the EPT on or the First Response one. They are both error proof.
