My period is 3 days late and im so tempted to test but scared of seeing a wrong result too early. My cycle is usually regular. How many days late before its actually reliable to confirm?
A missed period itself doesnt confirm it, you need a test. But once your period is about a week late, a home test with morning urine is usually quite accurate. Then your doc confirms it properly.
I tested right on the day my period was due and it was negative, panicked so much. Waited 5 more days and it was clearly positive. So a few days late gives a better result na.
My gynac said wait about a week after the missed period for the home test to be reliable, then she did a blood test and a scan to fully confirm. A missed period is just the first hint, not proof. Irregular cycles can also delay things.
