ok so i went to take a pregnancy test today..i read the box which said to pee on the test for 5 seconds..me being the idiot i am..i peed on the cap..im all new at this so i had no clue there was a cap! i dipped the test in the toilet..and it came out negative..im thinking this isnt accurate because of all the water in the toilet..am i right or is it still ok to trust the negative?

You're going to have to take the test again, sorry.

Also, you don't have to pee on the stick. You can pee in a cup and dip the stick into your sample. There should be directions included with the test that tell you how long to dip the stick for.

Good luck,

Edited to add: My husband and I started trying to conceive in January of this year. When March came around and it should have been my time of the month, but wasn't, I took a home pregnancy test. Included with the test was directions of how to pee in a cup instead of on the stick. I used this method because I didn't think I could have managed to hit the stick without getting a bit too messy for my tastes.

The test came up positive, as did the one I took the next day... just to make sure. A few days later the doc confirmed the positive results.

Peeing into the cup then dipping the stick, really isn't any different from holding the stick in your urine stream.

Anyway... Good luck!
