I usually wait till  my second missed period just incase it's late and becuz I'm not always regular. Then I test positive. I schedule my appointment and it's usually perfect timing cuz I'll be about 6 weeks and able to hear the heart beat :) I would wait til atleast 10 but better 15 weeks when the chance of a miscarriage is lower
