At What Point Can One Expect HPT To Be Reliable?

Hi. I am due to have my implant removed in 2 months. My periods were non existent until a few months ago when they started to regulate again. I am now on day 43 of my cycle with no period in sight. I took a hpt 3 days ago which was negative (however it was a cheap test and I didn't use first morning urine) I am overweight and wondering if pregnancy is possible. My previous 3 pregnancies took about 6 weeks to confirm with hpt's. At what point can I expect a hpt to be reliable??

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern as I always say that if your really worry about your missed period and suspicious for pregnancy then go for ultrasonography test this is the only most reliable and hundred per cent accurate even in the early days of gestation this could give accurate result no chance for mistake of false negative or positive result, hope this information helps you have a nice day.
