How long after testing are pregnancy results valid?

[kim...]

Okay, I took a pregnancy test yesterday with my first morning pee, and I got a positive about 2 minutes later!
I tested again this morning (first morning pee again) and didn't get a positive until around 4-5 minutes later, but definitely a positive.
Are these results valid?
How long after testing the test should it be accurate??
Some people say 5, some say 10, some say 3?

Consumer Reports says to read them by 10 minutes.

You are pregnant!

Congrats!

It will say how long on the box as each test is different. Usually a test is invalid after 10 minutes. A positive is a positive. Congrats!
