A member asked:
My cycle is irregular. would hcg levels usually be high enough to show up on an hpt by the time a pregnancy is far enough along to cause spotting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
After missed period: You should do the test 4-5 days after missed period. If your cycles are irregular then do the test about three weeks after what you think was day of fruitful sex. If the result is negative, repeat the test 4-5 days later. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully.
