We just started trying this month and im so impatient already, haha. I dont want a false result so when is the right time to actually test, before period ya after? Pls help a first timer.
Scientifically, the HCG hormone doubles every 48 hours. So, testing on the day of your missed period or 2-3 days later gives the most reliable result. A morning sample is best because it's highly concentrated.
Please wait at least a week after your missed period to test. Testing too early can show chemical pregnancies which can be emotionally very painful if you've had a loss before. Take deep breaths and take care of yourself.
I panicked and tested 5 days before my period, got a negative, and cried my eyes out! But then I tested again 4 days after my missed period and it was a strong positive. Don't rush like I did, just give it a few days after your missed date!
Hey there! Testing on the day of your missed period or a couple of days after is ideal. If you test too early, you might get a false negative which just causes unnecessary tension.
Waiting till a missed period is the most accurate way. I remember doing my test on the 5th day of my missed period, and once it was positive, I immediately asked my doctor if I could continue my yoga. Gynac allowed only gentle stretches!
Oh my god, I know the urge to test daily is so strong, but please try to wait until at least 4 days after your missed period. I tested too early and got a faint line, then spent 3 days crying and googling chemical pregnancy. Save yourself the anxiety!
