Missed period: The over the counter test will be best if performed after your missed period.

Waiting: 7-10 days after a missed period will give you the most accurate result.Most accurate if done first thing in the morning when the urine is more concentrated. Urine home pregnancy tests are about 97% accurate. Blood tests are even more accurate.Hope I answered your question.
