No, you are recommended to inform your doctor.

A urine culture test can identify bacteria or yeast causing a urinary tract infection (UTI). If bacteria multiply, an antibiotic sensitivity test can identify the antibiotic most likely to kill those particular bacteria.
You can collect a urine sample at any time of day unless your doctor has specifically asked you to take it at a particular time. The types of urine samples you might be asked for include a random specimen, first-morning specimen, or timed collection.
The results of a urine culture are usually available in 1 to 3 days.
During UTI tests the urine is examined under a microscope for bacteria or white blood cells, which are signs of infection. Your doctor may also suggest a urine culture. This test examines urine to detect and identify bacteria and yeast, which may be causing a UTI.
A blood culture test helps your doctor figure out if you have a kind of infection that is in your bloodstream and can affect your entire body.
