Hi & Welcome.
I can understand your concern.
If you have missed your period following an encounter of unprotected sex and have the symptoms suggestive of an early pregnancy, the best time to do the home pregnancy test is early morning.
Because the amount of hormone Beta hcg is very high in the early morning urine sample, so it yields better results.
So, get the pregnancy test done on an early morning urine sample.
