My period is 2 days late and im itching to take the test already. But i dont want to test too soon and get a wrong result and then keep stressing. When is the right time really?
Best on the day your period is due or just after, using first morning urine. Testing before that often shows nothing even when you are pregnant. I always waited to avoid the false negative heartbreak.
Home kits are reliable around the missed period. If you really want an earlier answer, a blood beta hCG at the lab can detect a few days sooner, which is what my doctor suggested. But for most, waiting for the missed period is simplest.
