When do I take a pregnancy test?

Question

My period is two weeks late. I took a pregnancy test a week ago and it came out negative. How long do I wait before taking another? My period can sometimes be irregular so I hate getting my hopes up only to get my period again.

Answer

Hi! I took one last week and it was negative. I took another yesterday, at two weeks past my period due date, and again negative. Sometimes I am irregular not 6 weeks between cycles seems long. I'm not sure what this means... 🤔

Answer

I would say that your period isn't late, you likely just ovulated late.   If you are late and you know for sure though, you can test every other day because that is how frequently hcg doubles.

Best thing to do is start tracking bbt to pinpoint ovulation.  Then you can see how long your luteal phase is.  That should be the same each month, even if your follicular phase is longer or shorter.  Knowing that, each month you can see if your bbt spikes and then will know when to expect af or when you are late.
