How do you wait to take a pregnancy test?

Question

I'm so anxious to take a pregnancy test but I know I should wait for the right time. What are some ways you manage the waiting period before taking the test?

Kiran Mahajan · Answer

I know how difficult the two-week wait is. Try to distract yourself with some nice movies or reading, and test only when your period is late.

Nupur Garg · Answer

Waiting is the hardest part, but try to wait till your period is at least 2-3 days late.

Sowmya Sharma · Answer

Try to keep your mind occupied with hobbies or cooking. Testing after your missed period date gives the most accurate result, so hang in there!

Jagriti Haldar · Answer

Best is to wait until the first day of your missed period. Testing too early will just give you a faint line or a false negative, so keep busy and wait.

Oh God, waiting is a nightmare yaar! Actually, I used to buy cheap test strips in bulk so I wouldn't feel bad about testing a bit early, but waiting for the missed period date is the best.
