My period usually starts around the 18th of every month but is delayed this month. When is the best time to take a home pregnancy test for an accurate result?
Since your period was expected around the 18th and is now delayed, you can take a home pregnancy test right away. For the most accurate result, it is best to perform the test first thing in the morning using your first urine, as the pregnancy hormone (hCG) is most concentrated then. If the test is negative and your period still does not start, wait 3 to 5 days and test again. Please do not worry, as minor delays are very common and can be caused by everyday factors like stress, fatigue, or minor hormonal shifts. If you have further concerns, consult your doctor.
