The hpt should tell you how long to wait. From 2 to 5 minutes is usually the longest you must wait.

Hey

At least 2 weeks, usually a month. Then again, hpt's can be wrong or defective. I reccomend taking at least 2 at a time, like on the morning and one at night on the same day to be sure....... If you can't get a blood test that is.

Well,i haven't had an actual like period since I think the beginning of november..I've had "spotting" twice.. But whenever I take a hpt (i've taken,2) it's always negative....But I haven't gotten a period,and i've got some symptoms..So i'm all confused...Is there something like wrong with whutever it is that detects the pregnancy hormone thingy in me!? Lol ...

Some people can take pregnancy tests all the way up until the day they go into labour and they can still come out negative!! Weird eh? The best way is to have a blood test done!

I agree with her on that one..... I took hpt's up until I went to the doc and all of them came up negative and I was late for my period three months so when I went to the doc to see waht was going on she told me I was 13 weeks preggo.... So it came come up negative a long time after u miss ur period!!! Lol but im sure it doesnt happen alot like that most people will get there pos. Or neg. And it be correct..... Except me... Lol but goodluck hope everything goes the way you want it to !!!

Love ansley,
