My mother-in-law advised me to wait for at least ten days after the missed date, but my doctor told me that testing 1-2 days after a missed period with morning urine is perfectly accurate. I followed the doctor's advice and got a clear positive.
Beta, always do the test early morning right after you wake up, that is when the body signals are strongest. Don't rush to do it before your period is actually missed, have some patience.
I felt so anxious waiting for my missed period, but I did the test on the very first morning of my missed cycle. Seeing those two beautiful pink lines in the quiet morning light was the most emotional moment of my life.
The absolute best time is first thing in the morning, because your pee is highly concentrated and hasn't been diluted by the 5 cups of water you'll drink later. Plus, you get it over with before the daily chaos starts, haha!
After going through my IVF cycle, I was so scared of seeing a negative. But testing exactly 14 days after the embryo transfer, using the first morning urine, gave me a true and beautiful result. Sending you lots of strength for your test.
