Trying to conceive and im that person who wants to test super early lol. At what point can the test actually pick up the hcg? dont want to test too soon and get a false negative.
Wait so morning urine really matters? I tested in evening last month and it was faint, confused me a lot. Asking because I'm in the two week wait again now.
My doc explained hcg roughly doubles every couple of days early on, so a blood test at the clinic can pick it up earlier than home strips. Home kits usually reliable from the missed period day. She said don't overdo testing, it just stresses you.
Best is to wait for your missed period date, then morning urine first wee is strongest for hcg. If negative but period still not coming, test again after 3-4 days. Patience lagta hai yaar but it works.
My app told me hcg rises after implantation, so testing too early gives false negative. I waited till the day of missed period and the line was clear. If you test 5 days before, mostly waste of strip honestly.
