How should a urine pregnancy test be performed?

It is recommended to do it with the first urine of the morning and about two weeks after sexual intercourse, artificial insemination or embryo transfer in cases of IVF (in vitro fertilization).

The steps to follow are: remove the protective cap of the test (where the test strip is) and place it for about 5 seconds under the urine stream. Then put the test cap back on to avoid interference with other substances and wait 5-10 minutes for the result to appear.
