How long must you wait to do a pregnancy test if have pcos?

There's no specific waiting period for taking a pregnancy test if you have PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). The accuracy of a home pregnancy test depends on the level of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in your urine, and that level rises regardless of whether you have PCOS or not.

However, irregular periods are a common symptom of PCOS, so it might be harder to pinpoint when ovulation occurred. This makes it slightly trickier to determine the best time to test.

If you think you might be pregnant, it's best to wait until at least one week after your missed period, as this is when hCG levels are usually high enough for accurate detection. If your periods are very irregular, you might consider taking the test a few days later, or consulting your doctor for guidance. They can help you determine a suitable testing time based on your individual cycle and symptoms.
