How long do you have to wait before taking a pregnancy test?

I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on the 17th and my period was due on the 22nd.
I am now 5 days late and was wondering how long I have to wait until I could take a test as I have heard you have to wait 2 weeks?

You do indeed. Unless you ovulate really late in your cycle though, I don't think you have to be worried about pregnancy though. There wouldn't be enough time for an egg to implant, even if it did get fertilized before your next cycle started.

Well since you missed your period you could take a test now. May NOT be ACCURATE though. BUT it COULD show a POS IF you are.
