Period late by a week and i want to check at home before going to doc. Any easy way to do the home test correctly? would help if someone explains in tamil too na.
I know how eagerly you must be waiting to find out. The safest and most reliable way to check at home is using a urine pregnancy test kit (called pregnancy test kit in Tamil too) a few days after your missed period. Please be gentle with yourself during this time.
My parents always advised me to wait patiently until the period is late by at least a week before testing. You can get a simple pregnancy test kit at any pharmacy and read the instructions. Keep your mind peaceful and don't rush, dear.
If you are looking for home tests, honestly, the medical kit from the chemist is the only reliable way. Some old methods like salt or sugar tests are not accurate and will only confuse you. Just buy a simple kit, test with your first morning urine, and hope for the best!
In Tamil, we call it 'garrbham dharithal' checking. While elders might suggest traditional symptoms, please just use a simple home pregnancy kit from the medical shop. If it shows two lines, visit your doctor to confirm with a proper blood test.
Even I was looking up how to test at home recently. It's best to use a test kit like Prega News, which is easily available in all medical shops. If you want information in Tamil, there are many helpful videos on YouTube by female doctors that explain the steps very gently.
