Period is 4 days late and the home strip showed a very faint line. Thinking of doing the blood test but dont know how early it actually shows correct result. Anyone got it done early?
You can get a Beta HCG blood test done a couple of days before your missed period. I just called up my hospital's front desk and they booked a home sample collection for me. Better to ask your doctor's team about the exact timing.
It's best to check with your gynac first about when to get the blood test done. Usually, they suggest waiting till your period is missed by at least a day or two so the HCG levels are high enough. Don't rush into doing it on your own.
Oh, blood test can catch it even before your period is officially late, like 9-10 days after ovulation. Honestly, I'm so heavy and tired now in my 9th month that those early testing days feel like a lifetime ago!
It can confirm it very early, around 11-12 days after conception. Just keep a peaceful mind and pray for a good report. Take care of your health and let things happen beautifully.
A blood test can confirm it very early, even before you miss your period by a day or two. When I was at my mum's place, my mother suggested we do the home test first after a missed period, and then we went to the clinic for a blood test confirmation. It's very accurate.
