You don't have to wait.
If you've already missed your period, just go a buy a test. Wait until morning and take it with the first pee you make. Your levels will be higher then and you will have the greatest chance of a good reading.
If it is negative, wait a week (if your period has still not arrived) and try again. By then you should definitely be able to get a true reading with a home pregnancy test. If it is still negative (and your period hasn't come) call up your regular doctor and schedule a pregnancy test. Make sure to tell the nurse that you've already taken the ones at home and the results were negative but, you still haven't had your period. They may opt for a blood test, which is definitive.
Hope it all works out for you!

If you know when you could have conceived, if its been 1 week or 10 days before your period was expected then you can take the test now. If you don't know then take the test 1 week after you missed your period.

If you've already missed a period, you can take a test. Some tests are sensitive enough to take up to five days before a missed period.

you can take a test before your missed period. Although you can take a test the same day of your missed period and it should show for you!

It mostly depends on the test you use, some tests say that you can take it right away, some say to wait til two days after. Read the box and see which one would suit you the best.

Many tests can so accurately test for the presence of HCG that you can take them several days before your missed period.

As soon as you miss it, you're free to test. Just be sure to use your first morning urine, though, as the hormones are more concentrated at that time.
