My MIL told me to wait for 10 days, but I checked on the first day of my missed period. The home test was positive, and our family doctor confirmed it the next day.

My toddler was a surprise, so I tested almost a week after my missed period! Looking back, waiting a bit actually saves you a lot of anxiety.

Please wait at least until the day of your missed period to test. Early testing can sometimes show chemical pregnancies which are very painful to process.

You can test 1-2 days after a missed period. If you feel any unusual severe cramps or spotting, don't wait for home tests, just visit your doctor.

Beta, puraane zamane me hum missed period ke ek hafte baad tak rukte the. Jaldbazi mat karo, thoda sabr rakho aur garam cheezein khana kam karo.

With PCOS, my cycles were always irregular so I couldn't test early. I waited a week after my expected date just to be sure and avoid disappointment.

The most reliable way is to test the morning after your period is missed. That's when I got my clear positive and went on to have a smooth normal delivery.
