I am a 25 year old female. I want to know if I should still take a pregnancy test if I got my period?

No, you do not have to. Once you get your period, that signals that your body has reset its menstrual calendar and you are back at the beginning of your cycle. Save your money for lattes or whatever your guilty pleasure is!
Well, it depends on what other symptoms you have. If you were just late with your period and you now have your period, then you probably don't need to do it. However, if you still feel some symptoms (breasts hurt, nauseous, etc.), then it couldn't hurt.
I hope that this helps!

If the cycle was lighter, yes, you could take a pregnancy test. If the flow is typical, then no need for a pregnancy test.
