I tested too early and it showed negative, then positive later. Wait till missed period na.

My app reminded me to test with the first morning urine for the most accurate result. Testing too early just gave me a faint confusing line. Best is to wait at least till the due date.

I tested like 5 days early and got a faint line, then panicked and tested again and again, dont be me haha. Waiting is so hard I know. But early tests really can be misleading, give it a few more days.

Some sensitive tests claim results a few days before the missed period, but they can give false negatives that early. Honestly the most reliable result is on or after the day your period is due. If its negative but no period comes, retest in a couple days.
