You can take one now if you like.  They are fairly accurate from about 10-12 days post ovulation.  A good time to take it is a couple of days after your missed period as sometimes you ovulate a little later in your cycle so you may not be quite as far along as you think, and get a false negative.

If you test now and it's negative but you don't get your period, test again a few days to a week later.
