How can i test pregnancy at home?

My period is late and i dont want to rush to a lab just yet. I want to check at home first quietly before telling anyone. Whats the right way to do it so the result is accurate?

Buy a home test kit from any chemist, use your first morning urine and follow the instructions on dipping and waiting time. Test on or after the day your period is due. Two lines mean positive, then confirm with your doctor.

I felt a bit nervous doing my first home test. So morning urine and waiting for the missed period is the way? Thank you all, this makes it less scary.

I tracked my cycle so I knew the right day, then used a kit with morning urine which has the most hcg. The app even reminded me when to test. If the line is faint, retest after two days.

A chemist kit with morning urine, after your missed period. Simple and reliable.
