My period is missed by 4 days now which never happens with me. I have some mild cramps also but nothing else really. After a missed period what's the right way and time to confirm, dont want to test too early and get confused.
When my period was late I felt nervous and excited both. I used a kit at home in the morning and then went to the doctor to be sure. The blood test gave the clearest answer for me.
Once your period is missed, a home urine kit with first morning urine is the simplest way to check. If its positive or youre unsure, go to your gynac for a blood test to confirm. Dont wait too long, get the test done.
After a missed period the home pregnancy kit is your first step, use morning urine for best accuracy. Symptoms like tiredness, sore breasts and nausea may also show up. But the test is what confirms it, then see your doctor.
I waited a couple days after missing my period then did the home kit, and the lines showed faint first then darker on retest. Then doctor confirmed with blood test. Did anyone else get faint lines initially and panic too?
