Should A Home Pregnancy Test Be Done For Delayed Periods?

Recently diagnosed with HPV. Two weeks late with my period. I am 54 years old. My nipples are tender and I need to check if I am pregnant. Seeing my OB later this week to discuss the HPV diagnoses, should I take a pregnancy test at home prior to seeing the doctor?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Yes, you can do pregnancy test at home, there are many kits available these days, collect the first morning midstream urine for the best results. It is always better to do it in a laboratory for accurate results.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
