Thought my period was a couple days late, but ended up just slightly spotting for 5 days. should i take hpt or wait to see what happens next month?

Depends: If you had unprotected sex since your last period, then do a hpt. If the result is negative repeat the test 4-5 days later unless you get a period by then. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex.
