When do we need to check pregnancy test?

Question

Trying since couple months and every cycle i end up testing too soon and getting upset. Matlab im never sure of the right day. After how many days of missed period should i actually check?

Gauri Parikh · Answer

Testing after a missed period is best. I tested on the day of my missed period and the line was so dark, probably because of the twins hiding inside!

I think waiting for a few days after your missed period is the best. It gives a much clearer result and saves us from getting confused na.

Wait until your period is actually late. Testing too early just means staring at white strips and going crazy, and trust me, you need all the peace you can get before the heavy belly days!

Lilavati Chaturvedi · Answer

Don't waste money buying multiple kits and testing early. Just wait till you are 4-5 days late, so you only need to use one kit.

I highly recommend waiting at least a week after your missed period. Testing early can sometimes show chemical pregnancies, which can be heartbreaking to deal with.
