When should I test?

I'm 22 years old and I am 6 days late I have been having unprotected sex and
I'm trying to have a bby. I'm scared to test and it comes out negative friends have
told me to wait at least two weeks after my missed period an then take a test.
I was suppose to have my period on jan 14th I'm never late or irregular. My last period
was Dec 17th and my ovulation date was 31st I had unprotected sex before and on that day.
Can i be pregnant? how long should I wait to test. I've had some symptoms bloating, head aches
and some nausea an tired all the time.

I've heard that it takes 6 wks for a test to register the pregnancy hormone, but if your periods are normally on time and it's late then there is reason for you to question a possible pregnancy. I would give it more time bc your cycle could be changing and since you are trying you don't want to be let down...it gets discouraging. The tests say you can test 6 days after your missed period but just give it a little more time to make sure you get proper results. Another option if you can't wait is a blood test but they can be expensive. I wish you the best of luck sweetie (:

you could definitely be pregnant and by now any of the tests should be positive if you are.
go ahead and test! :)
