Don't rush to the lab. Take a urine test at home first, and if it's positive, consult your doctor who will schedule the blood test at the right time.

In my case, my doctor only advised a blood test after my home urine test showed a clear double line to verify the exact HCG levels.

Sending you so much love. For our IVF cycle we did the Beta HCG exactly on day 14 post transfer, but for natural conception, a few days after missed period is perfect.

I got my blood test done 4 days after my missed period because the home test line was very faint. Did anyone else do it that early?

Anushka Madhavan · Answer

I felt so overwhelmed seeing a faint line, so I went for a blood test the very next morning. It gave me the absolute peace of mind I needed.

Honestly, save your blood! Unless your doctor specifically asks for it, a simple home test kit does the job perfectly fine after a missed date.

My elders said to wait for a week, but I called our family doctor. She suggested a blood test on the 5th day of my missed period.

I totally understand the anxiety of waiting! But wait at least 2 to 3 days after your missed period to get an accurate blood test.
