When should you take a pregnantcy test?

It is recommended to take a pregnancy test when you have missed your period. If your menstrual period is regular and you have not had sex since the last period, a pregnancy test is not necessary because you are not pregnant. However, if your period is irregular, you may want to take a pregnancy test a week or two after your expected period. If the test is negative, you may want to take another test in a week to be sure. It is important to note that some women experience implantation bleeding, which can be confused with a period. If you are unsure if you are pregnant, it is best to take a pregnancy test to be sure.
