Hello, Normally my menstrual cycle length is 28 days, last month I was due for my period on 1st of May, but spotting sort of thing started on 27th April, it was only a sort of stain for 3 consecutive days and no bleeding. a full fledged period started from 30th April and lasted for 5 days. My question is, if I have to do home pregnancy test, which LMP to consider, 27th Aptil or 30th April?

A. So Wait for a week more and still if you do not get your periods on time then you can definitely take a pregnancy test I just got a little confused or I think with something so extremely sorry for that but if you don’t get your period then just take a test within a week

A. Rashmi ma'am, i was mentioning about last month's dates, its May end almost. so waiting for completion of 28 days. If my last period was 27th apr, 28days completed already,, hence I am confused.

A. When You got your periods already then why do you have to go for a pregnancy test that’s not clear to me and the kind of thing that you had a little bit of spotting in full fledge it period that is sometimes due to hormonal imbalance in the body but that’s normal
