How long should I wait?

The first day of my last period was on 2/14.. I know, bummer right...lol Anyways. I typically have a 26-28 day cycle.. Meaning AF should have been here between 3/12-3/14.. I have never been late. Or over 28 days. Im having signs that AF is coming.. Really moody, hot flashes, lower back pains and cramping. Just no blood. Instead i have a creamy like discharge. I havent done any testing yet, because i dont know if its a mind thing or not. Becaus I have been doing alot of research, and i know how sometimes the mind could have you imagining all these symptoms. So i just want to know, how long should i wait before i count it as a "missed period" and take a test? Im just worried for whatever reason AF is just taking her sweet time.. Even though, I would LOVE the idea of getting a BFP. Any advice is appreciated.. Thank You :)

You can take one now if you want. Should come up if you are. BUT IF it's NEG and you don't get your period a week from now take another test.

A lot of symptoms of pregnancy are alike symptoms of getting your period. If you're late, you should take a test.

With this pregnancy I had been ttc and gave up at the begining of October, AF was due on the 25th and i had no symptoms of pregnancy at all and the only reason i tested was because my periods were never late i tested on the 27th and got a BFP. It turned out i was only about 3 weeks along. Good Luck
