How many days after spotting should i take pregnancy test?

Question

Had some light spotting a couple days ago and now nothing. We are trying so my hopes are up. After how many days should i test to get a proper result?

No need to rush and waste money on early testing kits. Just wait for 4 to 5 days after the spotting ends; this gives your body enough time to build up the pregnancy hormone for a clear double line.

Keep faith and take care of your health first. Wait for 4-5 days after the spotting stops so you get a clear result, and keep praying for a positive outcome.

If it was implantation spotting, it is usually very light and pinkish. It's best to wait until the day after your missed period, or at least 3 days after the spotting, to get an accurate result.

Please wait at least 3 to 4 days after the spotting to take a test so the hormone levels are high enough. However, if the spotting turns into bright red bleeding or is accompanied by pain, please contact your doctor immediately.

I am currently 12 weeks and I remember having light spotting around my missed period date. I waited for about 3-4 days after the spotting stopped to test. Did you have any other symptoms too?
