When we will take pregnancy test?

Question

I've missed my period and I'm wondering when is the best time to take a pregnancy test. When will we take pregnancy test for accurate results? Should I wait a few more days?

Mridula Babu · Answer

Just wait for your period date to pass. If you test positive and feel any severe lower belly pain or spotting, don't wait at home, go see your doctor immediately.

Babita Mitra · Answer

I was at my mom's house when I tested. She advised me to wait for 4-5 days after my missed period to be absolutely sure, and it was positive!

Deepa Bhadauria · Answer

My saas told me to wait patiently for a week after the missed date before testing. It's hard to wait, but it avoids any confusion or faint lines.

Don't pee on a stick too early unless you want to squint at faint lines at 3 AM like a crazy person, haha! Wait for at least 1 day after your missed period.

Humare yahan toh kehte hain jab period miss ho jaye tabhi test karna chahiye. Subah ke pehle peshab se check karo, sahi result milta hai beta.

Madhumita Jena · Answer

Practically speaking, testing on the day of your missed period is ideal. If it's negative but your period still doesn't come, test again after 3 days.

For accurate confirmation, wait until your period is overdue. If the home test is positive, you should schedule a beta-hCG blood test at your hospital clinic to confirm.

Wait for your missed period to test. I kept up my light daily walks until my test was positive, and then asked my doctor before starting any prenatal yoga.

The best time is the morning after your period is missed by 1 or 2 days. I remember doing mine then, and my beautiful journey started which eventually led to my sweet baby via C-section.

Chitralekha Chadha · Answer

I am planning too, and honestly, the wait is so hard! I've read that doing it on the first day of your missed period gives the most accurate result.
