Hi K

The usual recommendation is to that you should wait until a week after your missed period to take a home pregnancy test. Given the timing you discussed, maybe you could test at the end of this month if you don't get your period on time. Here is a link from the CDC: menstrual cycle, possible pregnancy, home pregnancy test.

Good luck and thank you for writing.
