Question Posted Sunday August 21 2005, 11:05 pm

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?

I would just take another one just to be sure. Something in the water ( like the chemicals ) might have changed something. Good luck with everything!

You are probably right. If you want a more accurate reading you should probably retake the test. Hope the results are the same. :)

don't worry- just relax, instead of just tricking yourself into thinking your not pregnant, you should just be safe and take another one- good luck-

Everyone else has already told you this, but testing the toilet water would only tell you if your toilet was pregnant. :D

Seriously, the test in the toilet water was totally inaccurate. You'll need to take the test again. Please read the directions carefully and follow them.

bound_heart gave you some very good information, but I'll just add one more point: if you want to take the test by peeing in a cup, make sure that it's a CLEAN cup. If it was in a dishwasher, rinse it out at the tap to get rid of any soap residue and dry it (preferably with paper towels).

Better yet, use a clean disposable plastic cup.

Good luck!

Try another test but try doing it right. nurses, doctors could give you info on how to do it. Pregnancy tests can be wierd. 1 could say opositive, the other negative, but you would just have to take another. hope i helped.

bound_heart answered Monday August 22 2005, 12:45 am:
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,
bound

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!

we all have our moments..don't worry about that..I wouldn't go straight to assuming that it came out negative..get another test just to be safe..there might be chemicals in the water that could've effected it. hope I helped!

FunnyCide answered Sunday August 21 2005, 11:23 pm:
The water in the toilet will dilute any hormones that would have been present till they're too weak to show up. That readout is not reliable. Get a new test and take the cap off. :-)

MFS answered Sunday August 21 2005, 11:15 pm:
yeah - you can't trust that result. Consider the toilet water an infinite dilution, so any hormone that could have given a positive response is going to be too weak in concentration to give the response.
