I am only 8 days past ovulation and already wanting to test. Every month this waiting period makes me restless. When is it actually too early and just gives stress?
Anytime before your missed period is usually too soon for a home kit. The hormone needs to build up first. Wait for the period day or a day after, use morning urine, you will get a proper answer.
I tested like four times too early and drove myself crazy with faint lines and doubt. Honestly just wait till the day your period is due, save yourself the stress. A blood test at lab is the surest if you cant wait.
I learnt this the hard way, testing before the missed period just gave me a faint confusing line. Waiting till the period was due gave a clear result. Too soon basically means before your period date.
I was so eager I tested way before my date and it showed negative, then later it was positive. My gynac said wait for the missed period for accuracy. The patience is hard but it gives you the truth.
