How many days after a missed period would you take a pregnancy test?

I’m only a day late but have not had my usual pre-period symptoms and pains. I’ve seen this post on Instagram about how women are having double periods or delayed ones due to this heatwave. Ik really hot weather can mess menstruation so now I’m unsure if it’s pregnancy or heatwave. I did do a test couple of days ago and it was negative.

Has anyone had a negative test then found out they are pregnant

I am usually 28 to 31 days cycle. Did a test today (day 29) and it was negative. Don't know whether i ovulated late this month. Have no symptoms of pregnancy but equally no cramping/spotting like I usually do before period.

Going out of my mind torturing myself. Have been trying for a year now 😭

What’s the soonest DPO you got a positive??

Just for fun what’s the soonest DPO (days post ovulation) you got a positive test result? I’ve seen people say 5DPO & 6DPO but I don’t know how accurate that is as it’s so early?? With my first I was 10 DPO but I didn’t do any tests earlier than that so not sure how much HCG would have been detected.

Imagine you're a grandma 👵🏻 (or if you are one let me know)

You're a grandma to a grandchild with high support needs. That means they require medication, alternative communication methods, extended diaper wearing, etc. which thing are you honestly doing:

A) learning it all so you can take care of them too when they are with you.
B) learning some but never taking them alone.
C) seeing them rarely and the parents must do it all because you are not going to learn anything.
