If your test kit included a small specimen cup for you to catch your urine, or if the instructions tell you to aim for the pregnancy test stick and you're worried about it, never fear! You do not need to use that exactly. It is perfectly acceptable to collect your urine in a clean cup and simply dip the test stick in the collected urine or use the dropper included with your test. This makes it potentially less messy and requires less aim on your part.
