A member asked:

Could a recent ovarian cyst effect an at home early pregnancy test if taken before a missed period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Gurmukh Singh answered

Timing of test: You should wait 4-5 days after a missed period before doing hpt. An ovarian cyst should not affect the results.
