Im too impatient to wait for missed period yaar. Just want to know which test can tell the earliest, blood wala or urine? Trying since 2 months so the wait is killing me.
With my twins, I could have probably got a positive result on a potato if I tried, my hormones were that high! But practically speaking, a blood test (beta hCG) can detect pregnancy about 9-10 days after ovulation, which is way earlier than any home urine kit.
The earliest test is testing your own patience while staring at a blank plastic stick! Some early detection home tests claim to work 6 days before your missed period, but they usually just give you a headache. Save your sanity and wait for the actual missed date!
At the premium clinic I visited, they explained that a blood test is the absolute earliest and most accurate way to detect pregnancy, even before a missed period. If you are very anxious to know, you can call your hospital staff and request a beta hCG blood test.
I know how desperately we want to know early, especially when we've faced losses before. But testing too early can sometimes cause unnecessary anxiety if the line is faint or if it's a chemical pregnancy. Try to breathe and give it a few more days, keeping yourself surrounded by love.
Honestly, the earliest test is probably when your husband breathes and you suddenly want to throw up because he smells like old garlic! But jokes aside, a beta hCG blood test is the earliest medical way, though I'd suggest just trying to sleep instead of testing at 3 AM.
If you have had complications before, do not rush to use ultra-sensitive home tests as they can sometimes show chemical pregnancies which are heartbreaking. It's much safer to wait and let your doctor order a proper quantitative beta hCG blood test for an accurate confirmation.
