Honestly, testing early is just a waste of money and time. Just wait for the actual day of your missed period to get a reliable answer.

The hormone levels are too low before a missed period, so the kit might show false negative. Better to wait, medically speaking.

I tested early and got a light line, spent nights googling instead of sleeping. Save your sleep now, you will need it later!

Actually, yes, early testing is not very accurate. Wait for the missed day.
