Don't rush it. Wait for at least 1 or 2 days after your missed period, and use the first morning urine for the home test.

I know it's hard to wait, but testing 14 days after intercourse or on the day of your missed period is best. Don't stress yourself out by testing too early, dear.

Wait until the first day of your missed period for the most accurate result. Testing too early will just give you unnecessary confusion.

It is best to wait until your period is actually late. Testing early can sometimes show a false negative, so try to stay patient.
