Best to wait till after your missed period, that gives an accurate result. Testing too early just gives false negatives and stress. So roughly two weeks plus, and use morning urine.

Wait for the missed period, then test. Saves you the worry.

I tested too early once and got a negative which made me sad, then it was positive after my missed date. So waiting really does matter. Hang in there and test after your period is due.

I tracked my cycle on an app and it reminded me to test only after the expected period date. That gave me a clear result first try. Early testing just stresses you out, give it the full two weeks.

I had this exact doubt while trying. From what I learnt, testing before the missed period mostly shows nothing reliable. So I just waited a couple weeks and it was clearer.
