Were trying since last month and im so impatient to test, but dont want a wrong result by checking too early. Should i wait till the period date or after? Pls share when u tested.
Best to test after your period is at least a day or two late, testing too early gives false negatives. And use the first morning urine, its more concentrated so more accurate. I tested too soon the first time and got a wrong negative, learnt my lesson.
I was so impatient and tested 3 days before my period was due, it was negative and i cried. Then i tested after a week of missed period and it was clearly positive. So definitely wait till after your missed period, dont rush like i did.
My tracker app reminded me to wait until at least the day my period was due, ideally a few days after. Early morning is the right time as the urine is strongest then. Testing too early just causes unnecessary stress and unclear results.
My doctor told me the home test is most reliable about a week after a missed period, with morning urine. The hormone needs to build up enough to show. If you test very early even being pregnant it can read negative, so patience is key.
