my periods usually wont be regular every month it gets prepone or postpone from normal cycle date but never delayed more than a week. since i had intercourse this month i feel more insecure for each day delay.
my height is 170cms and my weight is 64kgs.
i feel bit relaxed after letting know that it could be delayed due to tablets too.
so if i get negative tomorow then there will be no issues for sure right madam?

Detailed Answer:
Since you have a history of irregular cycles, please relax.
You can wait for actually 10 more days, since you did have delayed periods sometimes.
Wait for a week more before repeating your pregnancy test, the test will be reliable after a week.
