urine dilution/color affecting test results

in Trying to Get Pregnant

This may be gross, but I'm curious regarding urine color as indicative of dilution.  I'm 2 days late for my period, (usually like clockwork) but my FMU has been very light in color instead of the usual amber it normally is at that time of day.  I should note, last Fri/Sat I had UTI symptoms, got bad on Sun, visited the doc on Mon, and came back positive with a bladder infection on Thurs.  Therefore my liquid intake has been much higher than usual since then.  I've been experiencing a multitude of early pregnancy symptoms for over a week, and while I don't believe a UTI would cause a false negative I'm starting to think my samples have been so diluted the test isn't reading it properly.

I've taken tests for the past 5 days or so using Wondfo, but I haven't had dark urine in over a week to test.  Has anyone else experienced a similar situation or found that darker urine made a difference, and if so, did you end up testing positive or negative?

    Mixed with bleach, it very well might be.
    I think it depends on the color after the pee is mixed with bleach.
    Green pee + bleach = Pink Pee if Preggo

    The 'ol triple P test.

    The concentration should still be higher in the morning. The only solution (no pun intended) is to keep testing. There is no such thing as "false negative". There is pregnant & not pregnant (right that moment).

    @ABCmom12 - your urine is definitely more diluted than it normally is in the AM and you are right - it's probably because of your increased intake of fluids.  Unfortunately, that mild dilution won't change the result of your test with your FMU...it could if you were going ever hour, but if you've held it over night, then your FMU should still be pretty good.  My guess is that your UTI threw your cycle off a little bit, but it seems you probably aren't pregnant right now.  I'd wait a week and then test again, just to be sure. Good luck to you!! :)

    Toilet goblins and green pee aside (lol) I haven't been able to hold it overnight, usually waking up between 2-4 to pee.

    How do you know you are 2 days late? Are you temping to confirm when you ovulated?

    I'm not temping but I have been using an ovulation kit the past few months we've be TTC as well as an ovulation calendar.  Calendar said I was due to start Weds and the kit indicated ovulation on 2/21.

    Of coure, my cycle could of fluctuated so nothings certain

    It's an AE. Take its words with a grain of salt.
