Haha, with my twins, I was so impatient that I tested 3 days before my missed period and got a super faint line! But practically speaking, wait for the actual missed date to save yourself from staring at the strip under ten different lights. Trust me, it's worth the wait.

I am planning to test next week. Is it true that we should wait at least 4-5 days after a missed period, or does the first day of missed period work fine too?

I am hoping to conceive this month and actually feeling so hungry today! Could this really be an early sign? I am so eager to take a test soon.

One hour is fine for most if you are used to it, just keep water with you and dont push in heat. I walked a lot in both pregnancies. Stop and rest if you feel any cramp or breathlessness.

Most info says its better to wait till after the first trimester, and then occasional colouring in a ventilated place is considered low risk. I still ran it by my doctor first. Highlights that dont touch the scalp are preferred.
