In our family, elders say to wait patiently for a week after the missed date before testing to be absolutely sure. Once you see the positive result, pray and then make an appointment with your doctor for the initial checkup.
Wait till your period is late by a day or two to test! And if it's positive, celebrate with a nice home-cooked meal, but skip the raw papaya and pineapple just to be safe!
If you're asking when to take the test, wait till your period is at least a day late, otherwise you'll just stare at faint lines and go crazy like I did! If it's already positive, call your doc to schedule your first scan.
With PCOS, my periods were always late, so I had to wait at least 14 days after ovulation to test. If you have irregular cycles, don't rush the test too early to avoid disappointment. Wait a bit and then check.
You should test on the day of your missed period or a few days after. If it’s positive, you must contact your gynecologist immediately to guide you on folic acid and basic precautions.
If you mean how long to wait after a missed period, test on the first day of your missed period or 14 days after intercourse. If it’s positive, book your first gynac appointment for around the 6th or 7th week.
