Brief Answer:
Should do the urine pregnancy test now

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Since your periods were due on 21 st XXXXXXX and they are delayed, you can now do your urine pregnancy test to confirm the pregnancy. You are now 5 days overdue and home urine pregnancy test is sensitive enough to detect pregnancy at this stage.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health and all the best.
Regards,
Dr Deepti Verma
