If you have missed your period, that's the absolute best time to test. I always advise women to use a home kit first thing in the morning when urine is most concentrated, but please visit your gynac for a blood test to be 100% sure before starting any supplements.
According to my cycle tracker app, testing on the day of your missed period or 14 days after ovulation is ideal. The app showed me exactly when my hCG levels would be high enough to detect. Using first morning urine will definitely give you the most accurate reading.
As a working mom, I had no time to waste on faint lines. The most practical time is the morning of your missed period or the next day. It takes just 5 minutes before you head out for work, and morning urine gives the clearest result without any guesswork.
I'm also in the TWW (two-week wait) right now and the wait is so hard! Honestly, they say testing 1 or 2 days after your missed period gives the most accurate result. Are you also planning to test this week, or are you waiting a bit longer?
Beta, sabse achha samay hota hai jab aapki periods ki date nikal jaye. Uske do-teen din baad subah ka jo pehla peshab hota hai, usse test karo. Purane log kehte hain tab tak bilkul pakka pata chal jata hai.
I got my positive result just a day after my missed period! I tested early in the morning because the hCG hormone is highest then. Don't test too early before your missed period, as it often shows a disappointing false negative.
Don't waste money testing too early, girls. The best time is always 3-4 days after your missed period for a solid, dark double line. And always use your first morning urine because that's when the pregnancy hormone is strongest.
When I was staying at my mum's place, my mother told me not to rush and wait for at least a week after the missed date. It's so much better to wait a little so the result is clear, and then you can celebrate with the family without any doubt.
