I tried this once and got a negative response. The nurse told me that it could have been false because I let the urine sit until my boyfriend woke up. I would say your best bet is to wait until tomorrow morning.

Urine only remains good if you've refridgerated it. Just to be safe I'd wait until tomorrow morning. As a funny side note I just returned from the store with my hpt, I'll be testing tomorrow morning

Good Luck

Yep, I think I read in some instructions once that you have to refrigerate it and then let it come to room temp before you test. Check the insert in your test to see what it says. Good luck!
