Im trying not to test too early and get disappointed again like last month. We've been trying for a while. How many days after missed period should i wait so the result is actually reliable? So impatient honestly.
My doctor said the best time is at least the first day after a missed period, ideally a week after, because hcg needs time to rise. Testing earlier can show negative even if you are pregnant. So a little patience gives a more reliable answer.
I waited about a week after my period didnt come and got a clear positive. Testing early just gave me confusing faint lines. Are you feeling any symptoms? Sometimes that helps decide when to check.
I tested like 4 times too early and drove myself mad with the faint lines lol. Honestly just wait till your period is actually late, its so much clearer then. Save yourself the stress I went through.
Wait till the day of your missed period, thats when its most accurate. If you test too early you can get a false negative. Use the first morning urine, the hormone is strongest then. Both times thats how I got a clear result.
