If you take a hpt on the first day of your missed period, at any time of the day, it should show a positive if you are pg.

Usually, all of the symptoms that you are describing are not something you see at this early stage in pg.  You'd be about 5 wks pg, and the part about food cravings doesn't usually kick in until further along.

I just had the same thing happen to me recently, being 6 days late, and it was for no logical reason.  I was just late.

Call your ob/gyn if you are still concerned and they can bring you in for a blood test - that will tell you for sure.

Home tests are pretty sensitive now, so at almost a week late, it should be positive.  Yes, first urine in the morning is best as it says on the box.  You can always test again in a few days.

Stress, diet, hormones, changes in weight can alter cycle lengths.  It is also not uncommon to skip a cyle every now and then.  

On a personal level, you might want to practice safe sex should you want to wait until you are older to get pregnant.

Standard advice is to wait til you miss a period by a few days, test.  If neg and you don't start in a week, test again.  Try to use a first morning urine if you can.

Get a blood test if you want, but if another HPT shows neg in another week and you followed the direction, you probably aren't.
