We are trying for a baby and im so impatient to know if it worked this time. How soon and how can i actually tell? besides waiting for the period to miss, are there early signs? pls help yaar.
There is no instant magic detector, unfortunately! You have to wait for at least 14 days or a missed period to get an accurate result on a home test strip. Channel your inner patience and binge-watch some shows to pass the time!
In my experience, I didn't feel any symptoms immediately after intercourse. I only found out after waiting for my missed period and taking a home urine test on the 5th day. Waiting is hard, but it's the most reliable way.
You can only confirm conception with a pregnancy test after your missed period. Once you get a positive test, make sure to visit your doctor for a blood test and a regular checkup. Early doctor follow-ups are so important to start your vitamins.
I totally understand that beautiful, anxious feeling of waiting to know if you have conceived. Please try to relax and wait until your missed period date. Testing too early can cause unnecessary stress, so give your body some time.
