You could test now if you want, but I would wait until Thursday, 11/24. Also, go ahead and make the Dr's appointment. I would worry about the last period you had. It sounds to me like maybe you really didn't have one. Maybe you only had some spotting. You may very well be getting to 8 weeks of pregnancy.
I am not a doctor so I can't be sure. You can do an over the counter test. Buy one that has two tests in it so you can take one tonight and then one on Thursday. If you test positive, you will know. If negative, you will know to retest on Thursday.
If you period does not start by this weekend, you know that something is definitely wrong. You will already have a doctor's appointment made for potentially next week and you will know soon what is going on with your body!
Good luck!

Test on the 25th. That is plenty of time to get an accurate result. However, it is VERY likely from what you have described, that you are NOT pregnant at all. You are stressed out. Also, the symptoms you describe are common before beginning a NORMAL PERIOD. Please keep in mind that women frequently skip periods, especially when they're stressed. Just take a test on the 25th. If it comes up positive, go see a doctor. If it's negative, still go see a doctor to help relieve your stress!

I would take one now - and get an appointment with a OB or midwife soon. The first trimester is a crucial time in a baby's development and you should begin taking prenatal vitamins and stop smoking, drinking or using recreational drugs if you use them.
