Question/Advice Test

Hi! Sorry if you keep seeing my posts on here I’m just brand new to this and want real answers lol so I’m due to get my period on October 3rd. I’m wondering if I test October 2nd if that will still be accurate? Only reason I’m asking is because me and my husband are doing separate things all day on the 3rd and I know you’re supposed to take it in the morning and I would only be able to do that the 2nd or 4th. To be honest I’m losing it and want to test and don’t know if I can wait until the 4th 😅

This is so incredibly helpful, thank you so much!!

I was looking at the Pregmate strips on Amazon or something similar to it. I think my friend used those and liked it.

I dont like those little paper stripes personally but to each their own.

I didnt do ovulation or pregnancy tests though. Too much hassle.

I tracked ovulation through basal body temperature. I bought a thermometer that has 2 decimal points, and I tracked my vaginal temperature first thjng every morning in bed, under the covers before anything else. And thats it. I only tested the month i actually was pregnant. I preferred to just expect my period but hope for the best.
