Is It Possible For I-can Pregnancy Test To Show Inaccurate Result Because Of Inappropriate Use?

I used I-can pregnancy test recently. It was mentioned on the instructions to put exactly 3 drops of urine and instead I peed on the stick directly, not worrying about the drops. My test was negative. Should I retake it? Does the number of drops really effect the efficiency of the kit?

Hello,

Amount of urine actually doesn't differ the result of pregnancy test on test kit. It depends on beta-hCG hormone in urine.

However, you should repeat the test after 1 week for confirmation of pregnancy in absence of period. You can consult with doctor after test result.
