You can take one now, and another one in a week. I notice that those tests are now sold in 3-packs. Probably for reasons like yours.

You should take one ASAP. If you are pregnant you need to get prenatal care as early as you can.
Those tests are usually pretty accurate, but I would buy a 2 or 3 pack and if it comes up negative, take another one the next morning. If still negative, wait 3 days and take again, or just go to the doctor or local health dept. They'll test you for free if you're underage or have little income.
Also, while it is uncommom to ovulate that close to your period, not every woman is on the same cycle, so it is possible!
That is why when a woman is pregnant, they give her an estimated due date. They are using the same formula for every woman, and it really isn't a universal one.
Good Luck!!!

The fertilised egg implants in the uterus about 6 days after. Usually home-pregnancy tests should be able to pick up if your pregnant by the first day you miss your period.

It is unlikely that you are pregnant from having sex 2 days before the end of your cycle. Women normally ovulate in the middle of their cycle (about 2 weeks before your period), and this is the time when you'd get pregnant. But anything can happen! Good luck!

i'm not sure of your age however,you'll eventually learn there's no such thing as exact periods,several things can effect the start and stop and even interruption of periods,don't panic,some women even miss a period once in a while,if you don't start within a couple weeks call your doctor,in the meantime you can take one of the newer ept tests once a week to see if you learn anything

thats strange because you dont ovualte 2 days before your period, you ovulate 14 days after your period,so maybe you had sex a different day to as well,and got pregnant that day,you can take a test now

You could have, and should have, taken a test the first day you're late.
