Having PCOS made my periods highly irregular, so I waited for 10 days after my missed date to test. Be patient and don't lose hope.

I panicked and tested on the very next day of my missed period and got a negative, but later it was positive! Wait for 5-7 days, it is totally normal for HCG to take time.

My tracker app suggested testing 7 days after my missed period for the highest accuracy. The app was spot on, got a very clear positive on day 7!

I tested 5 days after my missed period and got a clear positive. Take it easy and check with your first morning urine, it's the best way.

With my twins, my HCG levels were so high I got a dark line on day 1 of missed period! But normally, wait 4-5 days to avoid any confusion.

Haan, at least wait for 5 days after missed period, na. Early checking will only show a super faint line and you will keep worrying.

Darshana Soni · Answer

Practically speaking, testing too early is just a waste of time and money. Wait for a week after your missed date, do the test in the morning, and plan your doctor's appointment accordingly.

Scientifically, testing 7 days after a missed period gives the most reliable result. If you still get a negative but your period doesn't show up, doctor advice is best to check for other issues.
