I tested once and it was negative but maybe i did it too soon. When exactly is the best time to take the test for a correct result? morning ya anytime?
Whenever you're feeling too tired to function and suspect it's more than just a bad night's sleep, haha! But seriously, a week after your missed period is usually the best time for a home test. Otherwise, you might get a false negative and then keep hoping.
Generally, it's advised to wait till your period is at least 7-10 days late for a home test. That way the hCG levels are high enough for the test to detect them properly. Before that, you might get a false negative. If symptoms are strong and no period, do check with doc too.
Ideally, you should wait until after you've missed your period, usually a week after the expected date, to take a home pregnancy test for accurate results.
The most reliable time for a home pregnancy test is about one week after your missed period. Doing it too early can give you a false negative result, which just causes unnecessary stress. If it's positive, then you go to the doctor for a confirmation blood test. Simple as that.
I took mine about 5 days after my period was due, and it showed a faint line. I was so nervous! My friend said she waited almost 10 days to be sure. So I guess waiting a bit is good. Did you already miss your period?
