Period is 3 days late and I bought a kit but thoda confused. Should I do it first thing in morning ya anytime works? Dont want a wrong result na, so just want to do it right.
The best time is early morning, with your first urine when your mind and body are fresh and calm. Take a deep breath, say a small prayer, and believe that whatever happens is for the best. Take good care of your health during this waiting phase.
Do it the morning after your period is missed. Don't test too early because it only leads to unnecessary confusion and faint lines. Use the first morning urine because it has the highest concentration of the pregnancy hormone.
When testing, you should definitely use your very first morning urine before eating or drinking anything, as that's when the HCG levels are highest. Just like checking fasting sugar, doing it on an empty stomach first thing in the morning gives the most accurate result. Don't rush it.
First thing in the morning, definitely! Unless you want a faint line that makes you squint and double-guess if you're seeing double like I did with my twins. Wait until your period is actually late, otherwise you'll waste money on ten different kits.
My mother-in-law advised me to wait at least a week after my missed period to be absolutely sure. But my doctor said testing on the first day of your missed period with morning urine is perfectly fine. I trusted that and got a clear positive right away.
