We tried this cycle and im so impatient to test, period is still few days away. Dont want to do it too early and get a wrong result. How many days after should i actually check?
I totally understand how difficult and long that two-week wait feels! Try to pamper yourself and wait until the day of your missed period to get that beautiful, clear positive result.
For the best results, use your first morning urine on the day of your missed period. That is when the hCG hormone concentration is highest and will give you the most accurate result on the strip.
With my PCOS, my ovulation dates were always irregular, so testing early never worked for me. I had to wait at least a week after my missed date to get a faint positive, so please have patience.
While some ultra-sensitive kits claim to show results early, waiting for a missed period is always best. If you are highly anxious, a beta hCG blood test prescribed by your doctor can confirm pregnancy even earlier.
I am also currently trying to conceive and the wait is so hard! I usually start testing 4 days before my expected period, but I know it's always better to wait for the actual missed date for a reliable result.
The most accurate time to check is 1 or 2 days after your missed period. If you test too early, the hCG hormone levels might be too low to detect, which can give you a false negative.
Don't waste your money testing too early. Wait until the exact day of your missed period, or even 2-3 days after, to get a clear and proper line on the test kit.
