Ok

I didn't get a positive until 2 days after my missed period.

Ok

you can only test up to 5 days before you're period with a really sensitive, fairly expensive test and even then it may not pick up a positive. If you wait until you actually miss your period, you can be more confident in the results even on a dollar stores test. When you test super early, even if you are pregnant there might not be enough hcg to register. Then you end up squinting for a vvvfl and symptoms spotting.

Note* This is not a jab at early testers just my opinion from experience..

5 days before missed period is when I did both times

Ok

I test 4-6 days before my expected period

I always wait until 14 days after I ovulate.

I waited til I was 3 days late.. what’s the sense of waiting your already late so I just it lol and got BFP
