I know the excitement and anxiety are too much right now, but please wait until your period is actually missed. When I got my positive, the morning sickness hit me like a truck immediately! Use your first morning urine for the test as it has the highest hormone level.
I tracked my cycle using a period app and it told me exactly when my period was due. I took the test the very next morning of my missed period and got a clear positive. Modern tests are great, but testing too early can give a false negative, so timing it with an app helps a lot!
Oh god, I used to take tests like 5 days before my missed period and then overthink every single shadow of a line. Save yourself the anxiety and wait for the actual day of your missed period, or even a day after! It's so hard to resist, but your mental peace is more important.
Take it from someone who is currently carrying a heavy basketball in her belly – do NOT test too early! Waiting is torture, I know, but test at least a day after your missed period. Otherwise you'll just end up squinting at imaginary lines on a plastic stick at 3 AM!
Personally, I got a negative when I tested early, which made me really sad. But when I tested again three days after my missed period, there were two solid dark lines! So my experience says waiting for that missed period is definitely the safest bet.
Honestly, wait until you actually miss your period, because those test kits are not cheap and you'll need all that money for diapers later, haha! Seriously though, testing on the day of your missed period or a day after is the best. Hang in there!
