Why we advise regular pregnancy tests for irregular periods

For people who have irregular periods, this often means that every month panic sets in when the period doesn’t appear exactly 28 days after the last one. And did you know that stress can delay your period? That’s right, the stress of late periods means even later periods. If you start taking pregnancy tests every month or so, you’ll probably never worry about your period being late again.
