Is the diluted early pregnancy HCG test result in urine accurate?

Patient's question:

My wife is 33 years old this year. In the seven years since we got married, although she has wanted a child, she has never been overly eager. This month, her period was delayed by 7 or 8 days. My wife bought a pregnancy test to see if she was pregnant, but she didn't have much experience—she did the test after drinking water after getting up early. Is the HCG early pregnancy test result accurate?

Doctor's answer:

The best time to test with a pregnancy test kit is in the morning. Urine extraction testing has the highest accuracy, but tests at other times of the day can also indicate whether you are pregnant. Testing after drinking water is also accurate. If two red lines appear, it means you are pregnant. If you are worried about the accuracy of the urine test or a weak positive result, you can go to the hospital for a blood test to check for human chorionic gonadotropin.
