I cross my fingers for your hpt.
How to take test is usually described on the box of hpt. You would need to follow the instructions provided.
However, by and large, tests would require you to test it with your first morning urine. try to collect urine in a plastic or glass container and dip the stick into it for 10 seconds. Leave it horizontal on the table top and wait to see the results in test/and reference window within 3 minutes. Should you get both windows positive (reference is always positive regardless of pregnancy), if pregnant you will get test line to be positive and that should be read within 3 minutes window period. Should you find both windows positive only after 3 minutes, do not take results in account. If the test window shows weak or hard to see positive result, repeat test after 48 hours, again with first morning urine.

Good luck
Archie
