My period is 3 days late and im trying to stop myself from testing too early na. When does the home test actually give a correct result? dont want to get a false negative and get my hopes down.
I always want to test the moment I feel something, but I am learning to wait for the missed date. Apparently that is when it actually shows correctly. Patience is hard though.
It works best after your missed period, that is when hcg levels are high enough to show clearly. Testing too soon gives faint lines or false negatives. Use first morning urine for the most accurate result.
Most kits say from the first day of missed period. My tracker reminded me when to test so I didn't jump the gun. If it is negative but no period, just retest after a few days.
