My period is 5 days late and im a first timer, totally clueless about all this. There are so many options at the medical store i got confused. which one should i actually go for? pls guide.
I did the home strip first, then my app suggested confirming with a blood test, which I did. The blood one can detect a little earlier too. But for most people the home kit is enough to start with.
Start with a home urine test after ur missed period, it's cheap and easy. If u want confirmation, a blood beta hcg test at a lab is very accurate. Then the doctor does a scan to confirm everything, that's the usual order.
We just started trying and I wasnt sure where to begin either. Someone told me to keep a home kit handy and test after the missed period. Felt good to know the simple steps, thanks for asking this.
