Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I wait to retest after a faint line?
Wait 48 hours and use first morning urine with the same brand. hCG typically doubles every 48–72 hours in early pregnancy, so retesting sooner rarely adds useful information.
Why first morning urine for retesting?
FMU is more concentrated after several hours without fluids, making faint positives easier to detect — especially before 12 DPO.
Should I retest after a negative at 10 DPO?
Yes — a negative at 10 DPO doesn't rule out pregnancy. Retest at 12 DPO with FMU before drawing conclusions.
Can I add the retest to my calendar?
Yes — after planning your retest, download the .ics file to add a reminder to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook.
