I know the wait is agonizing, but testing too early can give false negatives and cause unnecessary stress. Try to wait at least till your missed period day.

My doctor said hCG levels take about 12 to 14 days after ovulation to be high enough for a urine test. So testing on the day of your missed period is ideal.
