Planning to buy one this week but my friend said sometimes it shows wrong. How reliable are these home kits really? Just want to know before i depend on it.
Yes they work well if you test at the right time, that is after your missed period with morning urine. I confirmed both my pregnancies with a home kit first. Testing too early gives false negatives, so timing is everything.
They are reliable for a basic confirmation, but a blood test or doctor visit gives you the final clarity. I treated the kit as step one and then booked my gynac. Best to confirm properly before getting too excited or worried.
They are pretty accurate when used correctly, around 97 percent after a missed period. My app reminded me to use first morning urine for the strongest result. If you get a faint line, retest in 2 days, hCG rises fast.
Mine worked, but I panicked because the first test was negative and the second one two days later was positive. Did that happen to anyone else? I think I just tested too soon the first time.
